Cincinnati 2023, Ohio, US - WTA 1000

[Hoergren]

What a master in tennis. Iga races away and generates a breadstick and a bagel against Collins - the one Collins won was a break in Iga's serve. 59minutes. If you wonder why I had no comments to Carolines loss - well I was away and couldn't watch it.

Venus Williams up 6-1 on Qinwen Zheng
Should we be surprised?
From 6-1. 2-0 up Venus loses 4 consecutive games 2-4
Qinwen wins 2nd set 62, to me she looks like she has changed her service action, which didnt work for her in the 1st set, she hardly held serve.

Venus avoids a bagel in the 3rd set
Qinwen Zheng serving fro the match 5-1

Coming back from a set down and a break in the final set Zheng d Williams 16 62 61, she will play Swiatek next.

Iga will beat her love and love

The Chinese Zheng, is a good player she has a all court game, once she got her serve intact she played well, she is coached by Wim Fissette, Osaka's former coach

Collins is a very good player with a ton of power and had a great record vs IGA...we shall see

I am not saying that Zheng will win? I am just saying as a young player I like her game

Really Rybakina leading 5-2 in the 1st set TB now 5 all?
Loses the TB 76(6) to Ostapenko
Too many UFE after leading 5-2 and the serve?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meanwhile Petra Kvitova (9) DFs on her 4th match point and loses to Czech youngster Linda Noskova 36 62 64
Petra could lose her Top Ten ranking with this defeat

I'm not surprised by this. Noskova is going to make a deep run at the US Open.

AP,
According to the usual script Osta goes off the rails and Rybakina wins the 2nd set 62!

Well the tournament officials really dealt Elina a bad deal having her playing afterwards midnight and finishing afterwards 3am and playing on Sunday..

Agree, though her matches before that were sub par for Elina

If Osta was a blackjack player, she take a hit on soft 17 and 18

I'm not surprised by this. Noskova is going to make a deep run at the US Open.

Well she had a solid win in her previous match, before beating Petra, she could be a dangerous floater, at the USO her game suits the HC
