Leylah Fernandez advances to the q/finals.

Agreed
Great win by Leylah ..she is on the rise.
We all knew Sloane was going to loose. I feel bad for Kamau Murray her coach. I have watched Sloane practicing with him in Chicago. He has some excellent drills and he takes a very analytic strategic approach. Sloane's fitness is the issue and she needs to become the player she protraits in the chocolate milk commercial again.

Apart from her fitness issues,which really comes down to Sloane,she has to adopt a 'winning mentality' she has to be in 'every point' and not give up,she always has a tendency to 'give up'[' when things get tough.A ugly win is better than a loss.At the end of the day it is up to any player if they want to succeed.

This is gonna be a real battle for Elina..the first service game by svitolina was about 7 mins.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Marie Bouzkova wins the 2nd set 64 ,playing in her first WTA Final against Elina Svitolina,who won the 1st set 75,going to a decider,has been a hard fought match so far.

 

[the AntiPusher]

The commentary is so fantastic on TC. The gentleman is letting the spectacular tennis speak for itself. No Mary C or chatty has been needed today. Best match I have ever seen from Svitolina. Also, I am a fan of Bouzova, she is a marvelous point constructer and ball striker.

back on serve!

back on serve!

Absolutely..What a break..true grit.. I have a feeling Elina is gonna attack her service game. And break back for the match

Looks like she did it... her coach told her the same thing I was thinking on the change over..Go for it.. however Elina didn’t choke today.,Bouzkova really outplayed Elina late in the 3rd set to get those breaks back..Best WTA match I seen so far this year..definitely tops last weekend final which was great too.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In a three hour hard fought match Elina Svitolina wins the title 75 46 64 over Marie Bouzkova who had a good tournament making her first WTA Final....well done!
