2016 MUTUA Madrid Open

[GameSetAndMath]

CSN gone too. So, Halep is the last seed not strewn.

 

[10isfan]

I think Domi has a good chance at the title if she is not worn out by the three setters.

Sloane & Madison both lose to the Romanian qualifier. :nono

Sloane & Madison both lose to the Romanian qualifier. :nono

The Romanians are taking over Madrid. There are four of them in the quarterfinals.

Good to see Sorana back again with some life. That face deserves more air time.:heart:

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Azarenka must be made of glass. She is always breaking.

 

[tossip]

Zenka has a history of faking injuries...she will play like she is not injured when she gets to Rome...

 

[kskate2]

The Incredible C-Bulk 3-set run continues. She kindly dismissed Sorana 6-3 in the decider.

Yeah, she purdy. Wish was a more consistent player so we could see her more often although she has a tendency to get a bit pudgy and always looks exhausted around her eyes.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Simona has Kvitovesque score line with a losing bagel in between. uzzled

 

[GameSetAndMath]

All unseeded Romanians lost. Simona is the only Romanian and also the only seed left.

Lil Domi C is taking the Q to the woodshed. She's having none of that 3-set drama today.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Simona is taking stosur to cleaners. She is 6-2 3-0 right now.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Should be a great between the Mighty Simona and Super D

 

[10isfan]

Halep can't be happy about Domi making the final. They played four times with Domi winning three.

It should be some excellent rallies, I haven't seen either player this year but I like Halep to make a strong push towards The French

Good opportunity for Halep to start righting the ship.

 

[kskate2]

Will be difficult for Simo to defeat the Birthday girl. Domi has been on fire this week.
