Wang d Barty 62 63 Well Done and well deserved victory!

 

[tossip]

Wow Barty gone.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wang will play either Serena or Martic next

Quite frankly I am not surprised Ash lost she has not been playing well,Wang just too good in all departments

Well good for Wang. I've been waiting on a showing like this since she beat Sloane right after she won the US Open in 2017. She had the two great runs to the semis in Wuhan and Beijing (I think) at the end of last year. Made it to Zhuhai. Where she lost to Barty. And she had lost to Barty once during the year before Zhuhai.

So a great turn around for her today. Barty just didn't look good for most of the match. Finally was able to raise her game down 1-3 in the second set. And played pretty well from there on out. But Wang was able to weather that storm. So real kudos to her.

Her first trip to the 4th round of a slam and wins it for her first slam quarterfinal. Has yet to lose a set. Playing clean tennis. But until today hadn't had too much in the way of stiff competition. Should Serena deal with Martic as she should, that will all change in the quarterfinals. Wang could definitely bother Serena. Gets a lot of balls back. But I feel like the way to beat Wang is to over power her. Barty did not try to do that today. And Serena has looked great so far other than against McNally. But she eventually played herself into that match. And that was just the second round. And if Serena and Venus talk, Venus has some wins over Wang that she can give Serena pointers on.

Still. Serena has to deal with Martic first. Should be straight forward for her. But Martic does have some game and a nice serve. So no cake walk. Typical 4th round for Serena.

What the Hell Ash Barty I have just tuned into the match?

I know she has not being playing well,but still?

Good Morning by the way

I still think you folks including BB has Ash very overrated..I think she caught a perfect storm when the majority of the top women games were not at their best or they were injured..Halep should have about 4 RG titles by now, IMO.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just read on Twitter that Carla Suarez Navarro will appeal the fine she received after her retirement in her 1st Rd match at the USO.Carla received a fine of $40,000 ....she was fine because 'Did not perform to the required professional standards'

I did not see the match,she retired due to a lower back injury....I will be interested in the final outcome.

I disagree in many ways,she did have an off day,personally I do not think she has played her best tennis since she won RG,quite frankly she has not played to her ability at the USO,it happens,I could also name other players that are overrated but I will not.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

One of Tossip's fav players Konta on court and has a early break against Pliskova match just started., leads 2-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In the race to No1,

I have to revise

Barty out of tournament but still a shot of No1.

Osaka needs to win title and Pliskova does reach the SF.Pliskova will be No1....

Otherwise Barty,

Otherwise Barty,

I think Osaka is still the true #1.. Pliskova and Barty hasn't beaten anyone as of late..you say it's a bad day at the office , well a bad day can't carry on for 3-4 months..watch Stan vs Novak's left shoulder 2nite. If Novak's game isn't at a high levels..that will be a real example of bad day at the office..Stan may take it in 4 or 5

Osaka has not played well to me since the AO? she was solid in her match against Gauff a 15 year old,she had to,she has not been playing well at all,regardless of the knee injury.Tell me what tournament after the AO Osaka has played well? she has not.

Hell no I dont particularly like Konta..lol..I think its Pliskova who.has a 5-1 lead in the tiebreak..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

T/break for the 1st set about to start between Konta v Pliskova 6 games all,Konta had a early break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell no I dont particularly like Konta..

I know I was kidding lol~

Osaka has not played well to me since the AO? She was solid in her match against Gauff, a 15 yo. She had to. She has not been playing well at all regardless of the knee injury.Tell me what tournament after the AO Osaka has played well? She has not.

Competition's been tough on the ladies' side! That's the reason there have been so many different winners of majors & Tier 1 events! :whistle:

True Naomi's interview has been better than her tennis..I can't make any excuses but she just wasn't dialed in.
Osaka was playing well at Cincy but as I wrote she ran into my new favorite players, the dreaded Su-Wei..
