I’ll cheer for Halep if Muguruza wins and Kerber if MS wins. I still think MS could win the title. She knows it is her last chance and will give it everything she’s got. She isn’t good enough on other surfaces and will be very beatable next year.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I would like Halep to win. Hence, I am rooting for Keys in this SF even though I actually will be rooting for SS otherwise.

Highlights/Pressers:

13-Madison Keys (USA) beat Yulia Putintseva (KAZ) 7-6(5) 6-4





10-Sloane Stephens (USA) beat 14-Daria Kasatkina (RUS) 6-3 6-1

 

[Moxie]

So excited for both Maddy and Sloane. Irrelevant sidebar, as I watch the replay: who was the dishy umpire in the chair during Key/Putintseva?

 

[the AntiPusher]

Halep vs Kerber should be a great match.

 

[kskate2]

Simona down 2 breaks 4-1. Angie is applying the clamps. Mugu has the early break and threatening another one 2-0

 

[britbox]

Double break for Garbine in the first. 3-0 up. That last game was a real mammoth effort.

 

[kskate2]

Maria looks shell shocked. Has she played Mugu before?

 

[britbox]

She's never lost to Garbine in 3 meetings but they haven't played for four years.

 

[kskate2]

Well you can throw those meetings out. This isn't the Garbine from 4 years ago. She's won slams since then.

Just need G. to mop up this first set and then stay focused.

 

[kskate2]

Meanwhile Simona gets one break back and holds, making the scoreline more respectable. Kerbie then dumps serve. 5-5

 

[kskate2]

What a crazy match. This is looking like their SF at the AO. Kerbie breaks again and will serve for the 1st set again

Mugu takes the opener 6-2.

 

[britbox]

Maria's pretty much done.

 

[britbox]

Garbine is through 6/2 6/1. Good old fashioned beatdown.

 

[Moxie]

Good for Garbiñe. Really squashed Maria.

 

[Federberg]

Well done Garbina. The moment a top player faces Maldonova she gets schooled. Nice...

 

[kskate2]

Yeah. Even w/o Serena, I never saw Maria getting through all those landmines.

 

[kskate2]

On Court Suzy, Kerbie took the opening TB but is down a break in the 2nd
