Ok so she will be in the final because Ons won't beat IGA.
Ons has won Madrid before she seems to have found some of her game that has been missing
Actually I feel Rybakina or Saba being big flat hitters are favs to win this tournament

There's no way Keys is going to win this match playing like this.

All she did is give Rafa more time to cool down afterwards warm up. It's tennis..Keys is going to find a way to loose the match.
I just saw a pic of Rafa sitting down lol!, in the locker room
Believe In Your Girl AP!
This court favors Big serves and flat hitters of the ball, if Madison can keep her shots in court, and use her brain she has a good chance to win the match

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!
I remember one specifically. It was the Miami final. Either 2007 or 2008 and she was playing Justine. Serena got bageled in the first set. But man when I tell you she came back something fierce and only dropped about 5 games total in the other 2 sets.

That place looks empty. I guess they're all waiting for the Spanish Bull before filing in

Madison up 4-0, as I said this court favors big flatter hits and big servers with brains of course :)

Well done Madison you turned your game around, using margins and finding the court for starters and defeated Ons 06 75 61 and a place in the SF!

Madison will play Iga in the SF on Thursday, she can hit Iga off the court, go hard and flat into Iga's fhand, though Madison also has to watch her margins in this match up, and serve well.

I stopped watching when she was bagelled ,and Ons was firing from all cylinders.
Good for Maddie to persevere and show them that she is still a force to reckon with.She really looked tired at the start of the match,it's good to see her win.
