Vika in 2. She's red hot at the moment.

Vika looks like she might go all the way.

Kerber has two chances. Small and slim. Slim just left town.

Vika is in great form. She should win this one.

Vika in straight sets,of all the players since Aussie tennis started in Australia she has impressed me the most,Kerber hasn't won in 5 tries against Vika.Vika and Serena to play each other in the final at the AO in 2016.Book It

Nobody beats Angie 7 times in a row.

I guess nobody predicted this, but Angie was more offensive than in previous matches vs Vika. Additionally I think Vika's lack of tough matches caused her to get so nervous in this one when her opponent took it to her. She was leading 5:2 in the 2nd set and managed to lose it.

Congratulations to Kerber, perhaps this is her excellent chance of getting to her first major final as she will be a big favourite regardless of whom she faces.

All credit to Kerber for playing a great offensive and tactical match against Azarenka.I have in the past been critical of Kerber playing too defensive,she also attacked Vika's fhand,not like their previous match where she attacked Vika's best shot her bhand.Vika just too many UFE for starters,her serve was off.
Keep this level of play up Angie,well deserved win and a well deserved place in the s/finals.
