Does anyone know much about Ormachea? I've seen her name but never really this late.
Stosur /Cibby is the popcorn match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Interesting matches for me.....

Garbine Muguruza v Anna Schmiedlova....I hope Garbine dosent have a 'let down' in this match.Sometime's a player having a great win,like Garbine did over Serena,finds it hard both mentally and physically in their next match.

Stosur v Cibulova....I favour Stosur in this match up.Domi always has struggled with Stosur's high,heavy topsin.

Townsend v CSN....interesting match up...two players with different styles.Can Taylor produce a upset win?

Second round is now completed and we are down to 32 ladies.

Top of the draw in action and these are my interesting matches:

Angelique Kerber (GER) (8) vs. Daniela Hantuchova (SVK) (31)
Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) (18) vs. Johanna Larsson (SWE)
Garbine Muguruza (ESP) vs. Anna Schmiedlova (SVK)

This last match is interesting because they are both young and we all thought this was going to be Venus vs. Serena....

I don't even remember seeing her name? I wish Pocket Rocket could defeat Stosur, but she seems unable to do that! Garbine is a new favorite of mine. And I want to see Genie win, of course.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

now with no serena or li-na and azarenka absent this FO is really up for grabs all of a sudden sharapova is the favourite. lol.

interesting to see how townsend gets on and that mugrova serena tamer too.

Aga is out! Dismissed in straights by Tomljanovic 6-4 6-4. Fails to capitalize on another wide open draw.

 

[kskate2]

Bye bye Taylor. :cry Typical letdown by a youngster after a huge win in the previous round. Too many errors against CSN 6-2 6-2. A good effort to get to the 3R. Hopefully she'll learn from this and make a better showing on the faster courts which are her best surface anyway.

Aga is out! Dismissed in straights by Tomljanovic 6-4 6-4. Fails to capitalize on another wide open draw.

This leaves Simona Halep as the top seed.

 

[Rose]

Bye-Bye Pocket Rocket also :cry

 

[Kirijax]

This is nuts! Top three are out! Cibulova as well. Come on Jelena! Gotta take this!

 

[Rose]

^^:nono

 

[britbox]

Bye-Bye Pocket Rocket also :cry

Disappointed to see the pocket rocket exit - she's probably evolved into my favourite player on the WTA tour.

6-0 6-0 score of domination .

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

6-0 6-0 score of domination .

Can't really argue with that.

I just love this outfit!

Stosur is next for Masha.

 

[Kirijax]

Someone, anyone please knock out Sharapova. Just can't take that screaming anymore and then those smiles and blow kisses to everyone after the match as if it's ok. It's not. Let's go Stosur!

 

[kskate2]

6-0 6-0 score of domination .

Can't really argue with that.

I just love this outfit!

Can't agree on the outfit. I don't like that color combination. :nono

I don't see anyone on her side of the draw knocking her out. In fact the only people who could challenge her in the final are Ana, Simo and JJ, but I don't know if I see them taking the title from her in the final match.

 

[tented]

Bouchard d. Larsson, 7-5, 6-4 :clap

I'm sure Rose will be happy, too!

 

[shawnbm]

I can tell you I am happy with Bouchard's victory!!!!!
