This one I can't call Bacsinszky should in theory, but Van U has nothing to lose at this point as she was never supposed to make it this far per her rank. She may go all out.

If I vote on this one, it will be like betting on greyhound race. I don't know anything about Van U and today is the first time I saw Timea playing. Timea seems to be really enjoying her time on the court, but got a large assist from Kvitova as she hit the self-destruct button.

I sit this one out wisely.

I have seen Van U play twice. Once at the AO and another time at a different clay court event earlier in the year. Van U has game and she has belief in her game. I see a tight 3 setter.

I see myself not caring. That's so awful of me but man I wish at least one of these players mattered. I guess at least bacsinsky has put together a nice half season of play.
