2024 Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Rome, Italy - WTA 1000

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba is out there fighting herself as well as Lina. She does not want to give up her #2 to a youngsta

6 all in the TB fight on!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This TB reminds me of the TB in the final at Madrid!

 

[kskate2]

The difference tonight was when she had the MP, she played aggressive, but more margin

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba holds in a tight TB to win 76(7) keeps her No 2 ranking for now!

I have never seen Saba hit soo many drop shots in a match 'Ever'

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga being Iga wins the 1st set 61 in 26 mins over Keys

 

[kskate2]

Gurl, just how dense is Madi? She knows Iga will serve to the BH. Been doing it all match and she is not ready to hit that BH return. Her BF was shouting at her to get ready for the BH in the first set and she's still struggling to get a return in play. It's inexcusable for a player of her age and ability.

Maddy is just 'brain dead' she is a lovely girl off court etc, on court I have 'no words' at times, like this match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Swiatek d Keys 61 63 to reach the SFs in Rome for the 3rd time in the last 4 years
Well done Iga!
BTW ,
So will we see mote players getting time violations for multiple ball tosses? to be clear I have no problem with Iga getting one, but would be nice to have some consistency

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The last QF of the day
Gauff v Zheng, hopefully this will be a competitive match, not like the earlier QF match Iga v Madison

It can't get any worse than the first match of the day. Quin and Coco both think out there. Not just mindless ball bashers.

See there is hope after all

 

[kskate2]

Coco is doing it again. Served for the set and dumps serve rather meekly.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

TB it is for the 1st set
I have been plesently surprised how well Zheng has played on the clay in this tournament,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco with a couple of good 1st serves leading 6-3 in the TB

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well played TB from Gauff 76 (4) wins the 1st set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gauff d Zheng 76(4) 61
Coco keeps her No 2 ranking hopes alive
Coco will play Iga in the SFs

Yesterday match was probably one of the best final sets since ...last week jajaja. I just don't understand how Elena missed the drop shot at the net.
