Good job Hoergren, especially considering Caro is not even in the draw.

Good job Hoergren, especially considering Caro is not even in the draw.

Could be I like other players - so many good around at the moment. And then - I just try to put some life into womens forum.

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kiki Bertens v Angelique Kerber should be a great match.....Kerber only needs to win Paris to complete all four majors,though it has not been her best surface.Kerber has the game for clay,great defense,great leg strength and fhand.This match I feel will go the distance.

 

[kskate2]

Angie usually plays well at this tournament. I don't know if it's the indoor court, a home tourney or the fact that her company (Porsche) is a title sponsor.

 

[Hoergren]

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kiki Bertens could be a 'dark horse' for Roland Garos this year plays well on the clay.....good win in straight sets over Kerber.

 

[tented]

I DVR’ed Osaka/Vekic, so I just got to watch it. What a comeback by Naomi in the third set!

For those who missed it, try to catch it on Tennis Channel if they play it again tonight.
