Pretty funny how the semis at Cincy are the same rematches at the French Open earlier this year. Anyways, I'm going for the alternate outcome of the French Open this time around.

Coco really hasn't responded yet with a game that makes it uncomfortable for Iga.

Coco really hasn't responded yet with a game that makes it uncomfortable for Iga.

Something you have to do with Iga especially on a HC is go hard and flat into her fhand, dosent give her time to reset,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Neither Iga or Coco can hold serve at present for a SF this isnt a good match so far, Iga was serving for the 1st set and broken

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

TB for the 1st set,

 

[tented]

Coco has done very well this set, even to get it to the TB, considering she was down 5-3.

 

[tented]

4 SPs!

 

[tented]

All right, Coco finally wins a set against Iga!

Coco has done very well this set, even to get it to the TB, considering she was down 5-3.

Neither player could hold serve, for a SF it isnt a good match so far

 

[the AntiPusher]

Great Job CoCo..I have a feeling Iga is going to take Coco out to the deep part of the ocean for the next two sets. Get ready Coco. The job isn't complete yet

I think it’s good, in that Coco never gave up and ceded the set to Iga.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga made a huge mess of that TB
She will probably go and change her outfit
First time Coco has taken a set of Iga

 

[tented]

Exactly! She can’t get complacent just because she won the 1st.

Agree, the match isnt over yet,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Brad Gilbert has been the best thing that has happened to Coco

 

[tented]

Late, I know, but I’ll post it anyway:

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good service hold from Coco there, she could have gone down a double break in the 2nd set, saving BPs
Iga wins the 2nd set 6-3
