US Open Day 6: Saturday, August 31 - Order of Play

[Sundaymorningguy]

Vika will have to win in 3 as Cornet takes the 1st set. Perhaps, Serena should be watching this match to see what gives Vika the fits.

 

[Calvy]

Seeing as she's 12-3 against Vika......

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Still doesn't hurt to take a peak .

Still doesn't hurt to take a peak .

Especially when she lost the last 2

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I hope Cornet can keep up this level; she is really playing well and taking it to Vika. If she can keep it close, she might just be able to get Vika.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

She definitely doesn't show any fear against her.

 

[kskate2]

Serena can look at other matches, but she knows what needs to happen out there. She needs to get out of her own way and be aggressive. Her tendency lately has been getting tight and tentative instead of controlling the point.

 

[tossip]

Azarenka is struggling...with Redfool away with groupies in Aussie a lot could be on her mind.

 

[tossip]

Azarenka thrives on pace and Cornet doesnt give her the pace she wants...

 

[kskate2]

So much for an easy draw Kiu. Dani is down a set and 3-1 to Glusko

This Glushko is the surprise of the tourny!

Dani fights back. Takes the 2nd set 7-5.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

As does Vika, takes the second set 6-3

Flavia took Svetlana out in straight sets.

 

[kskate2]

Yeah, I saw the scoreboard. Flavia's always done well at the Open. She's been QF a few times.

She did not lose the last two. Vika won in Doha, Serena won in Rome (I think), Vika won in Conn.

 

[nehmeth]

Hooty makes it through to the 4th after dropping the tiebreak to Cornet. Hopefully a good wakeup call for her.

I stand corrected.
I am sure you meant Cincy as the last encounter.
But it's still 2-1 for the year.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

4 match point for the new Julia, all saved by Dani.

this is the match to watch, 2 and 1/2 hour and running, last game took over 8 minutes.

 

[kskate2]

Dani holds. Gets it to a deciding breaker

 

[kskate2]

4-2 Dani at the changeover
