[GameSetAndMath]

Some of the Top remaining seeds are on court tomorrow,

Top seed Sabalenka vs Sloane Stephens (AP will be interested in this match up,considering Madison went out in her opening match yesterday).

Simona Halep (6) returns to tennis after a two month injury break,where she is up against Danielle Collins who has won back to back WTA titles.

Fresh from her Bronze Medal at the Tokyo Olympics Elina Svitolina (3) takes on Johanna Konta.

Karolina Pliskova (4) vs Johanna Konta.

Did not realize that Konta is so strong that it needs two players to take her on.

Bianca Andreescu said after her match,

"I felt really,really good througout the whole match just knowing I'm playing at home.I have the crowd support.That always helps in key moments".

World No 220 Rebecca Marino follows up her Madison Keys upset to defeat Paula Badosa 16 75 64.( Rebecca will face the winner of Sloane vs Sabalenka next.Rebecca has been off the tour for many years, she retired in 2012,due to bouts of depression,good to see her back on tour).

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Going 3 sets in the match between Sabalenka vs Stephens....Sloane is returning well deep into both wings,needs to take care of her serve in final set.
Sabalenka 1st set 64(4).Sloane 2nd set 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well that was a match that got away from Sloane who was up 4-1 in the final set?
Sabalenka d Stephens 76(4) 46 64

Scone doing the same dumb stuff Serena does: hitting the ball right back to the opponent. She deserved to lose

Good Grief. Sloane chokes again. Margaret, think about it. Who is the one player that can find a way to loose a GS final to Sloane.It was Maddie. I remember when I talked with Kamau about what was their plan vs Madison.. He said to stay heavy on Key's FH, when she gets stressed, it's where you can get the UFEs. Unfortunately for Sloane, she CAN'T play Madison Everytime. Jajaja

It wasnt that Sloane choked against Sabalenka,she kept returning the ball straight to her,that is the reason she lost,she should have directed balls away from her or bring her forward to the net when possible.

Coco Gauff gets a walkover to the next round as Johanna Konta has withdrawn due to left knee injury

What . I thought Halep was handling Psycho Dani pretty well.

What . I thought Halep was handling Psycho Dani pretty well.

I think it was the lack of match play,that was telling in the end for Simona,who has not played for 3 months.

Big win for the dangerous Camila Giorgi over the 7th seed Petra Kvitova 64 64

Bianca being seen by the trainer for her toe.

Help me ,she was limping,there is always something body wise wrong with her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to Ons she played great tennis,even though Bianca had toe problems and needed a MTO,she was outplayed.Bianca hopefully will play Cinncy as she needs match play.
