Mutua Madrid Open, Madrid, Spain, 2024 - WTA 1000

[MargaretMcAleer]

At times I feel The Banshee loves the fight and drama winning 3 set matches, lets see what she has left, has she enough adrenaline to win
This is their first meeting on clay, se far The Banshee is underfeated on clay

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This match is first strike tennis!

 

[kskate2]

Banshee looks gassed. Her shots don't have the same sting.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hmmm broken not a good start for the 3rd set,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think I have said this many times Saba has the ability and game to take any of the Top Ten off the court on any surface it is just her mind, focus and her margins keep her from achieving this.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba survives to play another match d The Banshee 46 64 63, stops the winning streak of The Banshee's 15 match winning streak
( Note if Collins had won, Gauff would have been the new No 2 when the rankings come out on Monday)
Saba plays the Teen Queen in her QF match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

QFs in Madrid,

(1) Swiatek vs Haddad Maia (11)
(18) Keys vs Jabeur (8)
(4) Rybakina vs Putintseva
(2) Sabalenka vs Andreeva

 

[kskate2]

Like I said, just like all their other matches. Banshee really went away when the match was on the line. After blowing that 2nd set, she just mailed in that 3rd set

[MargaretMcAleer]

Haddad Maia giving Iga Swiatek trouble in her match, Iga rebounds to win in 3 sets 46 60 62
Iga will play the winner of Jabeur - Keys

A winnable match for sure. I expect her to reach the final again.

Well she is defending finals points from last year, agree she should make the final

Well she is defending finals points from last year, agree she should make the final

She might play Rybakina in semis..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

She might play Rybakina in semis..

Iga will play either Ons or Keys in the SF

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Madison it would help your cause if you could find the court with your shots
Ons leading 5-0 1st set
Ons just handed a bagel to Madison, thank goodness AP is not watching this match

 

[the AntiPusher]

This is why Saba is hard to beat. If you don't take your opportunities against her, she's make you pay in the next game. Girlfriend has made a living off of capitalizing on folks mistakes

I don't believe when Serena was playing pre age 40 there were too many times she lost a set 0-6. Keys should be ashamed of herself. Her footwork is still poor and this boyfriend / coach may not be the best for her career. @tossip tossip, I would assume that Iga is a better dancer to the cha cha slide than Keys could ever be!

 

[tossip]

Iga will play either Ons or Keys in the SF

Ok so she will be in the final because Ons won't beat IGA.

You jinxed her and she lost

Maybe she knew I was beginning to make inquires to test her samples.
