[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco please watch your serve? 7 DFs so far in this 1st set, and 4 Aces,
Make that 9 DFs and you were broken serving for the 1st set?
Coco broke Yuan and won 1st set 64

This is ugly tennis and if she is not careful they will boo at her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is ugly tennis

This is like Coco's first match at IW remember,?

 

[tossip]

This is like Coco's first match at IW remember,?

She is messing up and doesn't seem to know how to change direction.This is a winnable match that she is fudging up.Her serve has disappeared and the other girl can see that she is struggling big time.She is making winning ugly look really ugly.

 

[tossip]

I think she is not handling the windy conditions well.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think she is not handling the windy conditions well.

Not the first time she hasnt handled the windy conditions, she should take some pace off her serve for starters and make sure it goes in? use the slice more in windy conditions.

 

[tossip]

Start using the moon ball..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco I dont care if it is windy? there is no excuse at this level to commit 16DFs and counting, adjust to the conditions for the love of tennis!'
Make that 17 DFs,!
I cant watch this match anymore, Coco will probably end up winning Ugly, and her draw opened up when Saba lost, she may not be soo lucky in her SF playing this type of tennis, the serve? something has to be done ASAP

Maybe she did the most at her birthday and forget to practice.

 

[tossip]

I guess she is winning ugly.

C.Gauff d Y.Yuan 64 63
The less I say about this match the better!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Last QF match, players are on court,

Sakkari v Navarro, hopefully this match is worth watching

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Point! from Emma to win the 1st set 75 v Sakkari

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Help,
Sakkari on her 8th SP finally wins the 2nd set over Navarro 62
Going 3 sets, can Emma use her good 3 set stat in this match and win the final set?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maria Sakkari d Emma Navarro 57 62 64 to reach the SF at IW, in 3 hrs, Maria's 3rd consecutive SF at IW.
Emma you had a great tournament, beating the No 2 player in the world and making QF at WTA1000, keep believing in your game, you have the foundations of a top 10 player, your 1st serve needs work and your court coverage as well, keep working!. Well Done Emma!

WTA1000 SFs, Friday,

Swiatek (1) vs Kostyuk (31)
Gauff (3) vs Sakkari (9)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Unless Marta can get her 1st serve percentage up from 36%,, she wont have a chance at all in this match, Iga is just having a field day returning it, compared to Iga's 1st serve % of 76
Monica Seles is in the stadium watching this match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga 1st set 62 no trouble at all, off to get some milk back soon

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Marta still not making 1st serves and over hitting from the baseline her 1st serve % is still poor at 46%
Iga leads 4-1 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Far too good,
Swiatek d Kostyuk 62 61
9 sets won, 0 sets, to reach her 2nd IW final
9th WTA1000 final
Well done Iga!
