[Hoergren]

Solution finder Iga has made a brilliant win over the chinese #1 - really prepared with extra shoes a change of clothes a totally different player after losing the first and ending the match with two bredsteaks - well done Iga.

Surprising what a change of clothes can do to your game

Surprising what a change of clothes can do to your game

I guess you know what putting on a new dress can do to your confidence

Elina Rybakina retires in her match (shoulder), 64 25 (RET)
Q Paolini gets a walkover to the QFs

At least she rid this tournament of that awful young woman Ostapenko

Yep that was a silver lining, quite frankly I am not surprised she was struggling with her shoulder?serve in Montreal, she needs a good rest before the USO

Pegula down a set and now a break in the 2nd set to Bouzkova

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hoergren,

Apparently Iga's coach suggested to her, if she lost a 1st set, good idea to go and change your outfit, it might give you a good vibe?
Well it has worrked

Pegula down a set and now a break in the 2nd set to Bouzkova

Jess looks tired

Jess looks tired

Well I know Bouzkova is a tricky and tough player, though Jess should be able tio beat her, especially on the HCs
The No 3 seed Pegula bites the dust Bouzkova through in SS 64 60

Donna Vekic retired 2-5 in her match against Ons Jabeur, (5) who moves through to the QFS via a retirement

Gauff wins the first set 6-4. Something must be in the water because only one hold that set.

Help me 9 breaks ? that is not acceptable at this level

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sabalenka (2) defeated Kasatkina (14) 63 63
We get a rematch of the Wimby SF with Jabeur tomorrow on a HC

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco to serve a bagel to Linda to win the match
I feel,; Linda was overwhelmed on the big court, actually this is the worst I have seen her play, a good learning curve for Linda going forward in her career
Gauff wins 64 60 and advances to the QFs where she will play Paolini
Gauff moves up to No 6 in the live rankings passing Garcia

Coco bossed that one!
