TORAY PAN PACIFIC OPEN 2014

[Si Si Simona]

and Gabi is the player Simona meets in R2 in Wuhan. The 2nd seed gets such a tough draw.
Simo is in real danger of going out in R2. She will have to fight hard to beat Mugu.
Who made this draw? They probably revenge Simona for not staying longer than 2 weeks in the Asia tour.

Behind an early break in the 3rd set, Caro breaks in the 4th game to even the set.
Holding serve is not easy, 5th game goes to deuce too.

Caro is a fighter and I am starting to watch it now. I had great fun with Monica.

 

[Si Si Simona]

That forehand at 3-2 40-30 that Caro hit to make it 40-40 was good only because of her foot work that she gained from the marathon running. It gives her stable legs to hit the ball as she wishes.
Her legs are her (not)secret weapon, similar to Simona. Every tennis player must have good legs including Laura Robson.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think Garbine's spirit has just been broken by Caroline

 

[Si Si Simona]

Amazing point from Caro at 4-2 30-15. she gets to balls she could never get few months ago. fitness.
The girls are catching up with Simona movement. I really fear for Simona now. She must fight to keep her ranking and success. It wont be easy.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

It is now Woz in total control of the deciding set, ahead 5-2, took 5 games in a row.

 

[Si Si Simona]

The blonde cheetah is a threat now to all players in the WTA. What a transformation. Her long distance running training has done wonders for her game.
If Serena wasnt in USO then Caro would have won her first grand slam.

 

[Hoergren]

Garbine could not convert her BP chances...for example in the 1st set she had 9 chances and could not convert and Caroline converted with 1 of the 2 BP chances she had in the 1st set winning 64

Overall when you look at Garbine's overall BP stats in the match 4/23

Also some of those ufe made by Garbine were made at critical times in the match

All credit to Caroline she really she really turned the match around into her favour in the 3rd set,played more aggressive,showed her true grit and deserved to win the match.

Only saw a little of this match, but ufe a real key to Garbine's failure to win the match. Caro continues to play quality tennis and waits for her opponents to implode. Pretty simple strategy.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ Yes,still Garbine is a player that goes for her shots and at times dosent play with controlled aggression,so you kind of expect her to have a higher ufe rate
If Garbine had converted those BP in the 1st set she could have won the match in straight sets.

Right. The 50 errors stat doesn't mean anything, balanced against 53 winners, but a terrible BP conversion rate is critical.

If the 50 errors balance the 53 winners then it means everything. If she was broken on her serve because of her errors, then the BP ratio is not critical anymore because she lost her own serve by errors that she made. Being broken will reflect on the score just as failing in BP.

Ivanovic d Kerber 75 63

Ana played good aggressive tennis,especially in the 2nd set,when she found her timing on her fhand and her 1st serve improved.

Congratulations Ana you deserved your place in the final against Caroline.
