INDIAN WELLS SF #1- Halep vs. Radwanska

[tented]

Yay! Aga wins in straights. If it had gone three ... well, who knows.

Well done Aga....63 63

By the way a lovely handshake at the net.

Was thinking the very same about the handshake. Nice and respectful alright.

No excuses. The better player on the day won it.
Aga made a perfect use of the surface. Thats no excuse, its just a description of what happened.
Aga played great and Simona didnt. Well done to Aga.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Aga gave Simo the 5th ranking and now she had to stop her. Simo is right on Aggie's tail for the rest of the year.

Nicely done. If only all fans could be this gracious when their favorite loses.

 

[Front242]

Halep is number 5 in the world now though. Some achievement! Still a great week and another Masters 1000 next week to fight for.

Finally, good to see a WTA match where the UFE is less than 50% of the total points played
(it was less just by a bit only).

Aga is surely becoming the Golden Retriever of WTA. She made so many incredible gets
tonight.

We learnt from AO that Aga needs a day of rest to do a follow-up act and she gets it
this time.

It is going to be #1 vs. #2 in the final with #2 winning.

GO_AGA!!!

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

How come no one took Simona in 2?

Think everyone acknowledges that Aga is a fighter and won't go down without taking a set

Only one person took Aggie in straights.
Great Job.

What do you mean, he is being gracious? Afterall, his pick won. See the poll.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Well done Aga....63 63

You stole a game from Simona there. She worked very hard today as if the lose wasnt enough

Your girl has a good tournament....sorry about the loss today.Still think of the positives
Her great new ranking

I knew. If you read my posts during the match you will see that I gave Simona no chance. Some fan... :blush:
It wasnt her day right from the start while Aga played great. Aga was very focused and determined.
Aga totally deserved the win.

bad bad match.. UFE after the other but Aga made her play bad to be honest.
I dont want to find excuses but this surface gives Aga the time she needs to react and imo that made the difference.
So I do make excuses after all...
What am I supposed to do? To be honest OR to be nice?...

Simona will learn from this match but I dont know if she will learn enough to beat Aga on such surface in the future.
Thats life. Mladenovic has the edge over Simona on rubber surface and Aga has the edge on IW surface, but still somehow Simona is 5th in the world and won 7 titles

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Si

I think you are a honest and gracious loser.
As I said before take the positives....you girl's great new ranking.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Take it easy, Si Si.

Simona definitely has more good things in store for her the rest of the year.
This is not end of life for her. Rather, 2014 is the beginning of life for her.

Great Job.

That's true, let's see if the next match has better predictions.

 

[Si Si Simona]

That's true, let's see if the next match has better predictions.

I predicted 10 of the 12 matches in the last 16 and the Quarters. Beat that!

You better not been counting mine!
:cry

 

[Si Si Simona]

Here is a positive. Simo will be mad now and will fight hard in Miami. The lose may even up and be in her favor after counting both tournaments
Had she done more in IW, then she wouldnt had the energy for Miami

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Si

Thats the way
