GOOD! Bye Maria. Enjoy your flight to Siberia to get some of your parts replaced. Being a robot isn't easy. :laydownlaughing

Petra vs Caro 2-6 3-6. Well done Caro.:clap

 

[tented]

Congrats to Caroline (and Hoergren!). :clap

3-0 in the round robin is damn impressive.

Ouch for Maria, especially given that Caro got it done in two. Had she not messed up that second set she would be in the semis. Wow, the two people we thought would be winner and runner up in the white group are out.

Now let's see if Serena gets a reprieve from her screw up. However, she gets to keep her number 1 ranking thanks to Maria and Aga !

 

[Hoergren]

Now you know what the butterfly effect means Maria got her victory and congrats with that - ending at #2 this year which is not bad. Aga is going to use her credit card today when her friend Caroline defeated a little tired Petra. As long as Petra has no control over herself and play superb one day and medium the next she won't win for the moment. Congrats to her for her Diamond ace win this year - well deserved. So still a round robin match to come - couold be great to see Caroline having 2 BFF in the semis. Congrats to Serena with her secured #1 position - first time 2 years in a row! Time for another Fosters - got the hang of that beer in 2005 in Cork Ireland - damn good beer.

First time that Serena has held on to the number 1 ranking for a full calendar year as well !

If Caro plays this way for longer time you'll be alcohol addict

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Come on Halep take a set or win !

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looks like Simona came to play and not tank !

 

[lomaha]

Well Simona has the 5 games now.... and if Ana wins in 2 sets its goint to be Simona as the winner and Ana as the runner up.....? Woua, that could explane the different game from Simona at 5-2...

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

6-6 in the first set
6-6 in the breaker.
How close can it get?

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Ana takes the first set. What will happen the second set? Will Simona regroup and take that or will she relax since she is already in the semis hmmmmm.....

As much as I would like Serena to still have a shot at defending her title, I am fine with the results of this match because Serena is ending the year as #1.

 

[lomaha]

I don't know what's best for Caro - meeting Ana og Serena.....

As much as I would like Serena to still have a shot at defending her title, I am fine with the results of this match because Serena is ending the year as #1.

I also think Serena would want to have the opportunity to defend her title as well.

Dangerous times for Halep. Even though she's guaranteed her spot in the SF, you don't want to lose momentum and build confidence for your opponent. She should have put Ana away in the 1st set when she had the chance. If she loses this match, it could bite her later in the tournament.
