Simona breaks back! Come on Simona! Personally, I want to see Simona proceed because her summer results are far more worthy than what Azarenka achieved this summer, so I hope to see it happen.

If I had to bet, I would pick Vika to lose in three sets to Serena. I can't see Halep beating Vika.

I can't stand Pova's screaming, but Vika's hooting does not bother me. I got Vika's autograph a few days ago. She is one of my favorites.

Well at the very least if she doesn't break Azarenka, then she starts off serving in the third set.

What's the point of breaking back if you're only going to dump serve and allow the person to win the set and start off serving in the decider? :cover

She doesn't need to go to the bathroom to read notes. She can do that right on court during the changeover. It is allowed to bring notes that you write to yourself that you can read to remind you to do certain things. She must be doing something else in the bathroom besides notes.

Doesn't seems fair to Simona :nono

I didn't say it was fair. I'm saying she's allowed to bring notes on court to read so no reason to take a bathroom break for that sole purpose. But it could be some kind of gamesmanship to throw Simona off. I'm not sure. Vika has said that she will do whatever it takes to win.

Typically, this how Halep matches go, she wears her opponent out til the 3rd set and then when they legs and stamina cease, she have been able to close them out.
