Serena retired in her match against Garbine.

that still counts as a win. she would have to withdraw before stepping on court for it not to count

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Goodness me Osaka

I should have said completed match without retirement.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

One thing that strikes me about Osaka's game she didnt have a B plan,well done to Bencic!

Bencic wins 63 61

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I called Bencic's win. As I said, she managed as she did quickly.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kerber back from 1-4 in the 3rd set to 4 all in the 3rd set against Sabalenka.....real Popcorn match!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kerber wins 5 straight games from 1-4 down in the decider to defeat Sabalenka 61 46 64 some Vintage Kerber in this match and will face Venus Williams in the q/finals.

Well played Kerber!
