Here we go....

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Wow Aga fail!

 

[kskate2]

She looks exhausted. No fight at all. Kerber, end this misery quickly. Bring on the next match already!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well if she is exhausted, I am not sure how Serena will come out because Serena showed signs of fatigue yesterday too.

 

[kskate2]

True. The difference is Serena is 2-0 and has something to play for. Aga was 0-2 and she probably thought it was a hopeless case for her to get back to SF again.

Wow Kerber was great. She played with so much confidence. Her forehand did a ton of damage. 14 winners off of it I think. At least. To be sure, Radwanska was bad. So she helped her out there. But part of her poor play was due to Kerber's awesome play. She really struggled with her serve. But Kerber was very good on serve. She's now won 2 of the 3 matches they've played since the US Open. And it adds to her good form she's displayed since the US Open that got her into this YEC. Playing as well as she did today, she could push Kvitova tomorrow. If Kvitova plays the way she did against Radwanska then I imagine she'll beat Kerber. But it could be a slugfest even if Kvitova is at her best AS LONG AS Kerber is at her best. I'm looking forward to it. But not as much as Kvitova v Serena coming up now. This one could be really good if both ladies show up. But if Serena shows up, I still think she's gonna take this even if Kvitova plays well too. And I hope she does because I don't want Serena's fate in the semis to have to be decided by Kvitova vs Kerber tomorrow.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

The difference is Kerber played someone like her who doesn't have any serious weapons. It is much easier to be confident in a situation when you know someone isn't going to rifle a forehand, backhand or serve past you or at you.

Good performance Angie
Aga was out of sorts and looked tired to me
