2018 French Open SF: Simona Halep vs. Garbine Muguruza

Who wins?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I want Halep to win, but I think Garbage will win. So, I am not voting.

Garbine in 3 hard fought sets.

classy Garbine in 2

Simona strikes early. Up 2 breaks 3-0

Jeepers... Garbine is getting her lunch handed to her right now. Halep serving for the bagel.

 

[kskate2]

At least Sharapova got on the board yesterday

 

[britbox]

Gets on the board finally. Hopefully the gravity of this match will begin to sink in. She destroyed Halep in Cinci last year. Maybe a bit of complacency? Hopefully that game will settle her down.

 

[kskate2]

Halep looks really focused. I think she knows her window is closing. Serena is coming back to GS winning form and she needs to knab her slam while the iron is still hot.

First set Halep.

 

[Moxie]

I'm hoping Garbiñe can find her best level. Surprising first set.

 

[Federberg]

I would love it. Love it! If Halep wins this whole thing. She's too talented not to have one. Happy for her to get this one. I fear for her though if she plays Sloane Stephens in the final. She's just a better version of Halep when she's in the mood

 

[Federberg]

That's not to say I don't like Garbine. She's one of my favourite players, but Halep needs to get one before she goes the way of Safina and Jankovic

I get that. I like Simona, too, and last year's final had to be really tough to take. Of everyone left, I'd be happy to see any of them win the title.

 

[britbox]

No room for sentiment. If I don't have a dog in the fight then sure, Halep can win whatever... but a fan of Garbine... and she's coming back into this.

 

[kskate2]

Simona breaks back 4-4

 

[Tenfan63]

Simona is fighting for this one

 

[kskate2]

Simona is fighting for this one

I think she likes having that 1 next to her name

 

[kskate2]

wow. what defense

 

[britbox]

Garbine must be getting some great depth on those shots... I'd swear half of them look they are out on TV.
