The stand out match of this round has to be Halep vs Anisimova.Anisimova defeated Halep in the q/finals last year in Halep's title defense,playing outstanding tennis 62 64.A lot has changed in twelve months,Anisimova has not been playing her best tennis,while Halep has shone on her favorite surface clay,she also has one of the best tactical coaches in her corner Darren Cahill.
Hopefully this will be a competitive match.....Halep to win.
I am interested to see how Kiki Bertens has recovered from her last match with Errani,she was cramping badly on and off during the match,though she has had a day off.Siniakova will be no walkover that is certain.
I love watching this young woman from Poland,Iga Swiatek,who is one to watch,she is playing Bouchard,I feel the teenager can win.
Elise Mertens vs Caroline Garcia who is not a consistent player at all,though on her day can defeat top players.
Elina Svitolina a former RG junior champion,plays Alexandrova,I expect Svitolina to win the match.
