Hold your horses Bianca has not won her match yet still I am also looking forward to that match up quietly.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alison at least get a bread stick in the 2nd set

 

[AnonymousFan]

DF on MP, sums it up

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka too good again a great display of tennis defeats Riske 64 60

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

At the moment it will take a player to play great offensive tennis to defeat Osaka at this tournament,this is the Osaka I love to watch.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay I am off to make dinner and then to work.I will check the rest of the scores later.

Naomi and Bianca have won the last 3 Hard Court slams and will meet for the first time at the q/finals in Beijing.
Bianca is on a 17 match win-streak,has not lost a match since Acapulco.
Naomi has not lost a set (14-0) during the Asian swing.BTW since her father has become her coach,she has been playing the tennis she is capable of,they have a great rapport,maybe she should stick with him full time.

When was a last time Kastkina went on a two match winning streak as she did here? Scrolling, scrolling...right, it was in Rome this year. And when was it before that? Scrolling, scrolling...Moscow last year October where she won a tournament.

What happened to this girl? She has a good overall game, but think she lacks firepower. I just remember her serve is really weak. Did she struggle with injuries? Anyway, glad for her making a few wins.

Actually, She has too much variety and so I like watching her matches. I once thought, she will come up big. Disappointing to see she is not producing results.

Ash Barty snapped a four match losing run against Petra Kvitova when they met in Miami this year.Ash got her first win over Petra 76(6) 36 62.

Daria Kasatkina has a 3-1 head to head record against Caroline Wozniacki,picking up victories in each of their last 3 meetings.Two of these were on hard courts and all of her wins were in 2019.Daria has won three successive matches for the first time in 2019.

Andreescu v Osaka.....their first meeting.

Elina Svitolina v Kiki Bertens Elina holds a 2-1 head to head over Kiki,their most recent,and most notable,came in the WTA Finals in Singapore last year when she won an epic s/final 75 67(5) 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kvitova won the 1st set 64 over Barty.Barty seems too passive to me,lethargic,needs to mix things ups,more aggressive,Kvitova is just in her rhythm and Barty needs to change this or she will be defeated in straight sets.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Towards the end of the 2nd set Barty imposes herself with good,aggressive ROS and great net play breaks Kvitova and wins the 2nd set 64.Going the distance in this match.

Kvitova misses low ball on BP#2

Barty to serve for it!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell Ash you were 40 love serving for the match find a first serve

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Barty d Kvitova 46 64 63

Barty improved her game from the 2nd set,it was a tight battle,in the end Ash just upped her game when it counted.

Barty W 31 UFE 20

Kvitova W 36 UFE 28

Barty will play the winner of Svitolina or Bertens in the s/final

 

[AnonymousFan]

Svitolina leads H2H vs Barty 5-0, includes Indian Wells this year

Barty leads Bertens 4-0, Miami and Sydney this year
