Upset Corner - AO 2018 Edition

[Moxie]

Petkoic ate double bagel

Nice win by the Yank Lauren Davis, then!

 

[kskate2]

Naomi takes out Barty in straights which qualifies as an upset as Ash is the 16th seed

 

[kskate2]

Aga in trouble. Down a set to qualifier w/ no clothing sponsor

 

[kskate2]

Kerbie in a dogfight. Going to a decider. What a fun match!

 

[Moxie]

Back on serve...

 

[Moxie]

Osaka up the early break on Halep. Naomi is a tough player, and Simona has a bad ankle. We shall see how this goes.

 

[kskate2]

Simona came through in straights last night.

 

[kskate2]

The Brisbane curse continues as Svito goes out in straights to Mertens. So only 3 players remain that can claim #1

 

[shawnbm]

On paper a shocker, but you could see it coming in the first few games. The Belgian has serious backcourt hitting ability.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Svito was horrible. Losing is fine. But, when you are the favorite to win the title and when you are playing an unseeded player, losing in straight sets (not to mention eating a Bagel in the second) is unacceptable. She does not have the champion's mentality. I think she is
another one of those also rans who will never win a GS.

first AO for Mertens and she's in semi !!! really impressive
