I am not surprised Iga lost, she was lucky to scrape through in her match against Linda
Well done Vondrousa had a great game plan and followed it through to the end, 64 62

yep. she got out of jail last night because Linda is still wet behind the ears. Ekaterina is a different animal though.

Alexandrova followed her game plan all match and didnt falter, well played and well deserved win.

Vika and Elena are the only slam champs left. Banshee is the only other player to feature in a slam final.

My dark horse is the Frenchie with the Spanish last name!

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play is halted in the match between Azarenka v Putintseva a electrical problem, both players are sitting down while the problem is solved, not many fans in the stadium at all
Still no sound, players are walking off the court now, dont know how long before they can get the sound back, wet weather and now sound problems, hasnt been a great tournament in Miami this year hawkeye not working, where are the lines people when you need them lol!
I cant understand why this match is not relocated to another court! still no sound!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nearly took 1 hour sound is back on the court and Hawkeye is working
Players done a warm up

OMG this girl Yulia is dense. This set should long be over, but she kept hitting the ball right back to Vika w/ the whole court open.

 

[kskate2]

So Yulia finally gets a clue and wins the 2nd set 6-1. But this match is horrible to me. So many errors and not much in winners. Now we're subjected to a 3rd set of this dismal mess. Vika looks every bit of her 30+ mama years.

I have floated in out of that match, the error count is horrid, quite frankly whoever wins the match, unless they tidy up their game, I cant see them going far in their next match

 

[kskate2]

Another slow start from Sinner in his match against Chris O'Connell, down a break, nearly a double break, ( Cahill barked at him which made him wake up)
Battled back and won the match 64 63, ordinary level from Sinner,.Aussie Chris O'Connell played a good match.

Vika and her f-bombs didn't get a warning when she was losing early in the decider. It's not the first time I've seen her get away with it. Interesting who they choose to call it on. The tournament supervisor was sitting right there and must have heard it, but did nothing.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vika was leading 5-1 in the 3rd set? and collapse
Lets see if she can serve out the match at 5-3

Looks like Carlos will miss the opening tip-off of Miami Heat game tonight! Poor thing! Aza just refuses to make things simple! Tough 3 sets!

He'll be fine. 2nd half is where it's at anyway.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Azarenka d Putintseva thank God this match is over 76(4) 16 63 to reach the SF for the 5th time

 

[Hoergren]

What a match Vika - thought you were out after second set - well done

Vika will have to improve in her SF match if she wants to go further, the UFE count from both players was dismal at this WTA1000 level

 

[Moxie]

Well, I'm glad for Vika.
