Nice win for Sloane Stephens 76(6) 62 over Kerber (13)

Kerber really seems to have lost her way.

Yeah, that was pretty moving. She and her sister were in tears. Hopefully, she gets settled after the first few games.

I guess she needed to heal just for her sake..:cry...I applaud her for writing her life story..win or lose this a triumph for her.:clap..you can tell that the incident really hurt their family...
all those fans who booed her thought they would derail what was destinied.It is good to see her comeback as the greatest American tennis player...man or woman

Monica apparently is famous for "forehand slicing stroke". Never heard of anyone using it men or women.

MOnica up a break now. It is 4-3 in the first set and Monica to serve. She may take the first set.

SW df's to get broken.

I doubt it. I could see it going to a TB that Serena finds a way to win instead.

I'm not sure. She's really emotional and it's coming out in her game.

Monica to serve for the set. Let us see what she is made of.

Also, this is their first meeting and Serena has more getting to know the weird game to do

Apart from the slicing forehand stroke, Monica has lot of variety and changes the pace up.

Her slicing forehand is really interesting. She hits backhand winners after hitting 2 or 3
consecutive slicing forehands. Normally, most players would do slicing backhands and
forehand winners.

To be frank, I have never seen anyone play this slicing forehand stroke in my entire life.
