French Open 1/4: Kuznetsova vs. Halep

[Correspondent Kiu]

Simo is still a break ahead, up 4-2
Sveta is serving

 

[my sherona]

2-2 ?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta you had a good 1st serve...then you had the open court.......and you played a shot straight back to Simona?????????????????

Think Sveta.....Think

 

[Rose]

4-2 Go Simona!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Halep 1st set 62....well played 1st set Simona

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Well that was a disappointing set from Kuzy. Not at her best I would say, but Halep was too good too. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Halep keeping the ball deep and Kuznetsova is not adjusting well. Hopefully we'll go three.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta is going off court with the trainer....I hope it isnt her hip that is playing up again

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

MTO is officially called for Sveta

 

[Rose]

^^ You know in all the talk about Sveta's experience I think everyone forgot her hip problem? I know I did!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta needs to play offense as Halep is a balanced player

Sveta returns to court with her left thigh bandaged

 

[Rose]

I'm sorry I can't resist this--Simona definitely has a "leg up now"!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh Sveta....Brain Fail with that dropper

 

[Rose]

My scoring site must be stuck in that Match? It has had the same score for ages now!

 

[Si Si Simona]

Sveta will retire soon, 2-1 broken, if simo wins the next she may retire.
A wounded turtle has no chance against a rabbit.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ I doubt if Sveta retires....even though she is struggling on court.

 

[Rose]

I wanted Simona to win, but I can't be as happy with a win over a player that is hurt!

 

[Si Si Simona]

Simona looks asleep most of the match, mentally has no effort, ROUTINE :laydownlaughing

 

[Si Si Simona]

I wanted Simona to win, but I can't be as happy with a win over a player that is hurt!

We fans take what we get. Simo waited all her life for this day !!!!!!!!

 

[Si Si Simona]

breadstick?.......... to all her doubters.. with "love". my sherona said 2 sets win for sveta :laydownlaughing

 

[Rose]

I think everyone forgot the hip problem. This will be a cakewalk for Simona now!
