I hope Simona hangs on. She is the more aggressive of the two

Halep with 2BPs she breaks,actually Elina was playing better early in this 2nd set
Halep serving 4-3
Halep consolidates the break and leads 5-3 2nd set

Halep with 2 Match points as Elina's drive volley misses the court by miles

That's a job well done. Congrats to her and good luck in the final. To be honest I would much rather have seen her play Muchova, but it wasn't meant to be.

I picked Muchova in that match,though I think her match with Pliskova took its toll on her when she played Elina.

Watching them at the net is almost as painful as watching Shaq at the free throw line. Hopefully you know what that is, if not let me find you a visual reference.


Hahaha yeah Shaq was clueless with free throws. It's like me and a make up. I have no clue. My wife always laughs at me how I don't know the difference between the thing you do the eyebrows with and the one you do the eyelashes :lol6:

The difference here is unless you wear makeup, I don't expect you to know the difference. An NBA player should have a better FT technique just like a tennis player should have a decent volley. No one is expecting players to volley like Martina or Mac, but what we saw earlier in this match was horrendous.

Agree with you, players should know how to execute all the shots and use it well if they need it. I am sometimes frustrated to see women doing endless rallies like it's the only way to play tennis and when they do come to the net it's like they don't even want to be there. Maybe I should try make up to chill out :-)2
