Indian Wells, BNP Paribas Open, WTA Premier

[Correspondent Kiu]

Kerber is playing good but is it good enough against an improved Garcia?
I doubt it!

CSN got past the hump, she could be easily into quarters.

Angie is really putting the hammer down... a lot of people thought Garcia had a good chance going into the match. Kerbs has to be one of the favourites to win here, if not the favourite.

 

[isabelle]

Garcia played poorly

[GameSetAndMath]

I go with Halep and Osaka.

 

[Moxie]

Halep down a break in the 3rd over Martic. I hope she pulls it out, though.

Kerbie has to get past Simona to win this thing. I don't know that she can do that. Lately, Simona's had her #

 

[Hoergren]

I think you should watch this highlight video from Osaka vs Pliskova - she's outplaying Pliskova

At this point of the tournament, I have to go with the elder!

N Osaka d. (5) K Pliskova
6-2, 6-3

 

[Hoergren]

Kerber couldn't find any defence against Kasatkina 06 26 - Italian

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Couldn't find defense?
That's nice way of saying it, you are so NICE!

Kerber got mauled!
Kerber got mugged!
Kerber got trampled!
Kerber was destroyed!

I think these terms are a bit more closer to what happened.

 

[Moxie]

Wow. What goes on with her?

 

[Moxie]

Interesting point that Chris Evert makes about Venus: aside from her auto-immune syndrome, Venus really hasn't had any injuries. Can anyone think of any?
