Simo versus Dani
Hmmmm!
Dani victorious in Tailand, Simo started the year on a stutter. Do I smell an upset here?
You bet!
Way weaker field in Pattaya, Simona runs "rosies" around Daniella!

There is a concern that Halep has a rib injury

Honestly Sam where was your fhand when you needed it?

Hit a shank on your fhand on that last point?

Not a good game by either player.

I only saw set 3 and I must say again why do we have to have such a match so early -AGAIN. Luckily Caroline won despite not feeling well at all - what's wrong with the players. Bad air in Dubai bad food - what? Bad umpire and very bad birds - must have been terrible for the players. I don't agree in a bad match we saw very good ball exchanges - with some flaws of course.

Not the usual bright winner smile - good luck tomorrow Caroline.

Well done Elina winning the 1st set 62 over Petra

Petra it might help your cause to try to get your first serve percentage higher than a poor 48%?

Elina one of your biggest downfalls in this third set is your failure to convert BPs?

You had 3 BPS on Petra's second service game in the third set

Just had another one? BPS 5/13?
