Madison Keys gets a good win over Venus. I'm waiting for Madison to really come into her own.

Dominika is an amazing woman. It blows me away how this tiny woman can walk amongst giants and have that kind of belief in herself and her abilities. Even walking around the grounds with those tall women would be intimidating to most, but Dominika takes them all on, one match at a time. Totally admirable.

Yep, love her whole ferocious way of playing. Pocket Rocket is a fitting nickname!

Am I the only person that knows that as a nickname for something else? I'm sure she deserves a better one.

Great attitude.

Sveta is always a bit of an emotional case. She was the far better player in the first, and then Halep walked all over her.

I have no idea who this Kucova is, but she's on a roll.

 

[Billie]

The dream week continues for Kucova, but I think her run will stop tomorrow. What a story.

The Halep/Cahill partnership seems to be paying off. Great semi against Kerber to look forward to later today.
