Looks like the 2nd set will go to a TB
Elena has found her fhand better in the 2nd set,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

6 games all 2nd set
TB has just commenced

 

[kskate2]

Wow! Poor TB from Iga and we're going to a decider. Who saw that happening 30 minutes ago

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well what a good TB from Elena too good for Iga and wins the 2nd set 76(3)

Onto a 3rd set we go

 

[kskate2]

This is the wrong one to allow to hang around. She could find her game and boss you off the court

Just posted the same thing a poor TB from Iga,
I also feel Elena has found her fhand better in the 2nd set, which helped her as well

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga is taking a MTO before the 3rd set, she did stumble at the back of the court, when she was sliding, I hope she is okay.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play resuming for the 3rd set as Iga has got tape on her upper right leg after her MTO at the end of the 2nd set

 

[kskate2]

Iga just retired at 2-2 in the decider

 

[tossip]

Wow Iga has thrown in the towel..

 

[kskate2]

Elena moves to the SF to play Osta.

 

[kskate2]

Wow Iga has thrown in the towel..

She won last year, she's leaving some points on the table. Depending on how Saba does at RG, she could take over #1.

 

[tossip]

Maybe she already had some niggling injury.The way she was rushing to get off the court says it all.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wow Iga has thrown in the towel..

That is unfair she wasnt moving well at all

 

[kskate2]

Welp MM. It was much worse than I predicted. 6 seeds didn't hold to the QF's

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Quite frankly I thought Iga would have retired after the 2nd set, she wasnt moving and I think it is a wise decision before RG
I hope she is okay

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I must say Elena has improved on clay, it took her a little while to adjust to these slow heavy conditions in the QF to her credit and she is into her first SF on clay
Rybakina wins by retirement 26 76(3) 2-2

Well that dosent fare well for Paris does it, I usually go on form in Rome for the French Open? that has gone down the drain with 6 seeds not holding to the QFs, though I will give a pass to Iga, seeing she was forced to retired with a leg injury

Her and Elena were the only 2 that did make the Qtrs. The rest are severely disappointing because they went out in the first 3 rounds.

 

[kskate2]

She has about 11 days to get that leg straight before she would have to play. I think the defending champ plays on Mon or Tues.
