China Open Beijing 2014

[Hoergren]

So Si Si ready for the Halep match - hope she pulls through. Another fine match about to begin is Kerber against Dellaqua. Dellaqua is a dangerous oponent for Kerber and she's playing well right now.

Perfect conditions for tennis although maybe a little chilly - 20 C - not what they tried in Wuhan! - so two lefies in play - let's see who's left - couldn't resist that one.

Halep all smiles playing all in black - nice. SEEMS SHE'S IN GOOD FORM WON FIRST SET 61 and after some troubles the second 64 :clap

Kerber survived the scare in 3 sets 61 36 63 - so only one match left.

I think Halep will, not so sure about Si Si

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Kerbie advanced via a 3 setter, it was tough but she got it done, she is still in the race to Singapore.

Dani vs. Sveta will be the last match today, I am looking forward to this match-up.

 

[faradubii]

Oh man, I never saw Kerber nicknamed Kerbie. I love it! So from now on for me it's only Kerbie.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think Dani H had a knee problem,the reason for her retirement.My Sveta survives till another round.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Who do we think I going to take this tournament? I am thinking it will either be Serena or someone on the bottom half as it is the weaker side of the draw.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ Actually I have penned in a Serena v Ivanovic final,still playing around with the draw at the moment

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Some very interesting second round matches to be played.
Sabine vs. Genie
Masha vs. Elina
Aga vs. Roberta
Woz vs. Sam

First round should be completed later today.

If Elina brings her form from Wuhan into Beijing I feel she can defeat Maria
I watched the 1st set of Maria v Kanepi yesterday,though we all know that Kanepi can fold like a tent

 

[Si Si Simona]

Maybe you havent saw it but I am the original. He stole it from me like a cheap thief
I called her Kerbie few days ago, I am amazing

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have nick named Kerber...'the Great Wall of China' Stacey gave her a good run for her money though in that match.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Just came back home and almost all I have to say is A WIN IS A WIN IS A WIN
Did she wore black? yesssssssss at last.
She changed her pink frame of mind and she wants to kick @rse. AT LAST !...... :emperor:
The coin dropped in her head. I was waiting that for months. I saw first signs of change against Mugu and now its happening.
I have a feeling that Simona is back in business. :angel: :violins: :celeb:

 

[Si Si Simona]

Simo has two warm up matches to get ready for Ana in the QF. YOU better not screw this Simo !
Its time to kick some a..e. You were missing for too long.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Halep all smiles playing all in black - nice. SEEMS SHE'S IN GOOD FORM WON FIRST SET 61 and after some troubles the second 64 :clap

She finally accepts "trouble" as part of the match and she flows with it.
Her brain was in vacation in last months. She waited the wins to just drop into her hands just because she is Simona. She understands now that she has to earn it, and nothing is for free. GOOD!

I've been calling her Kerbie for years. In fact between me and Kiu, we've started many of the player nicknames here.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ Nice to see you back KsKate you have been missing in action.
