Kenin in 2

I am going for the upset....Jabeur in 3 sets,hopefully straight sets,she is more of a shotmaker than Kenin,though Kenin will try to grind her down.Both players deserve their q/final appearance for the first time.

Kenin in 2. Would like to see her win a whole thing.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Ons in 3.

Prefer variety game, the games of girls who come out of some sort of assembly line in a factory.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kenin got a early break against Jabeur,which came out of nowhere as Jabeur had a strong service game previously,Kenin with a loose service game and we are back on serve 3 all.
Strong hold from Kenin,consolidating the break,Jabeur did have BPs but could not convert.
Kenin 5-3
Jabeur to me is just over pressing on her ground shots,needs more control.Jabeur saves a couple of SP points
Kenin will serve at 5-4 for the 1st set
Kenin has run out of challenges,she thought the ball was out,hawkeye showed it hit the line
SP no 6 for Kenin
Kenin 1st set 64......

Took six SPs to close it out

Took six SPs to close it out

Kenin had less UFE than Jabeur,in that 1st set ,to me she played the big points better.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lovely slice cross court bhand from Jabeur.........Shot!

Jabeur is not giving Kenin any rhythm at all,it is really frustrating Kenin.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kenin needs to keep her emotions in check,she is becoming her own worst enemy

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jabeur needs to return up the middle,not to give Kenin the ability to produce angles

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jabeur with her 3rd BP.no get under the ball Jabeur,you are not converting your opportunites

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That service game from Kenin took 10mins,Jabeur had 3BPS and could not covert? that game might come back to bite her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kenin has no challenges left in the 2nd set,just like the 1st set.....her coach needs to address this with her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I did say Jabeur's inability to break Kenin might come back to bite her?
Kenin just broke and leads 4-3,consolidates her break

 

[AnonymousFan]

One game away... Kenin wins!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kenin serving for the match 5-4

Either player has no challengers left

Kenin d Jabeur 64 64 to reach her first s/final of a GS

Well done to Kenin she played the big points at crucial times in the match better,kept her UFE low.

Congrats to Ons Jabeur,to me has been the 'break out player in this tournament' reaching her first q/final,I hope she can build on this for the rest of the season,she has soo much variety in her game.Great to watch.

Kenin will play the winner of Barty vs Kvitova
