Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, Stuttgart Open 2018, WTA Premier

Coco is taking this match to Halep all right. Up a set and 3-0 in the second. 5 games on the spin.

Coco books Halep's plane tickets out of town. Didn't see that one coming.

Coco doesn't like clay. Verbally admits it. Came to Stuttgart for the shopping and the Porsche. She just might get that car.

Osta should have won that match. Had her chances against Pliskobot.

Pliskova takes it in a tight match - 7/6 6/4

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Pliskobot's game is primarily built on her serve. Hence, I would tend to think her chances of successes in clay are less compared to her chances in hard or grass. But, with Coco being MLBB, Pliskobot drove home the Porsche, I suppose.

Disclaimer: I did not see the match.
