If Caroline finally manages to win this match,she has to improve 100% on today's form if she is to continue in this tournament

Woznicaki W 11 UFE 24 Sinikova W 18 UFE 43????
There were a lot of errors but was it a bad match - NO. They challenged eachother - SIniakova used her big backhand and Wozniacki had difficulties in defending that but she found out. Caro had some really good attempts at the net and with her forehand AND she most of the time got another shot back to Siniakova where she made an error - so all in all an okay match - Caro just got some nerves in the end which is understandable with all the things that's troubeling Caro. Her 9th win in a row in Beijing without losing a set.

I have to disagree,with all the breaks of serve in the match and the UFE,Both ladies serve went AWOL,when you compare Caroline earlier matches to this one,she will need to improve if she is to go further in the tournament.Caroline does not usually make that many UFE in a match.

Yeah. Didn’t see 1st set, but 2nd set was ugly in the Woz match

Riske breaks, 3-2

What I like about what Alison is doing so far in this match,is returning down the middle of the court to Osaka,cutting off the angles,which Osaka likes to create.

Too many UFE coming off the racket from Alison late in this 1st set,especially on her bhand which is her best shot
