Some one tweeted Petra v Jess match, was so far the Match of the Tournament .......hey lol!

Nah that wasn't a great or good match

Sorana Cirstea gets a Top 5 win over Caroline Garcia, winning 64 46 75 fist time making the QFs at IW, Garcia too many UFE in this match for starters.

Again smooth sailing for Iga and interesting to see how she's building her points. A bit of a computer running the show - and how good a show - although Radukanu tried her best in first set, but sort of accepted her situation after she lost her first game in second set. Radukanu has to build her faith in her own game if she'ss behind, then she can be even with such a player as Iga.

QFs,

(1) Iga Swiatek vs Sorana Cirstea H2H Swiatek 1-0
(10) Elena Rybakina vs Karolina Muchova H2H Muchova 1-0
(7) Maria Sakkari vs Petra Kvitova (15) H2H Sakkari 4-3
(2) Aryna Sabalenka vs Coco Gauff (6) H2H Gauff 3-1

I think Coco and Jess should dial down on the doubles because it's affecting their singles.Coco really looked lethargic today and Jess shouldn't have lost especially after having a match point .

Jess just doesn't have any real weapons to put pressure on her opponents. Both players Coco and Jess are excellent defenders who can transform to offense very quickly..

Several..it looks like they are entering every event.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Anastasia Potapova has been formally warned by the WTA after walking out at IW wearing a Spartak Moscow football shirt. Doing so was deemed neither 'acceptable or appropriate and it is not expected to happen again.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Not a great start from Coco getting broken in her first service game from Saba
I am going with a Saba win in this match up, I know Coco has a H2H 3-1 over Saba, though Saba this year is a different player, and Coco can count herself lucky she has reached the QF, with that horrid display in the 2nd set against Rebecca yesterday

Coco is getting bossed by Saba..I doubt if Serena ever lost to Saba..

What did you expect Saba? lol! Serena and Saba met once and Serena won

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba 1st set 64
Come on Coco protect your serve and play better offense

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell Coco broken to love in her first service game in the 2nd set, just like the 1st set
I must say when Saba hired that 'Bio Mechanic Specialist' it has been one of the catalyst's that has turned her game around

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is great ball striking so far from Saba,. Coco is at a lost what to do body language not the best

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba up 4-0 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is embarrassing Saba up 5-0....Coco has no answers for Saba in this QF

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That was just a great display of controlled tennis from Saba today, her serve on song, Coco was just a bystander in the match
Saba sending a strong message to the other players left in the draw
Sabalenka d Gauff 64 60!
Sabalenka will play the winner of Sakkari- Kvitova in the SF
