Some good matches tomorrow.

Rooting for Lepchenko, Halep, Stosur and Kvitova.

Think Azarenka, Halep, Pannetta and Kvitova will win.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Vika and Simona will breeze through their matches.

Kvitova will use her self-destruct button, sending Konta to QF.

Pennetta vs. Stosur is the unpredictable win. But, I think Sam will take it.

Flavia plays well here. Routinely getting to the QF and upsetting some top players along the way. Today will be a day like that. She will send Sam to Asia early. Simona will force Sabine into a ton of errors. Vika's match won't be as easy as it looks on paper, but she'll pull through.

I have no idea which Petra will show up. :devil

Petra is about due for a trying day at the office, so who knows with that. Let's see if the upset bug can strike more in the bottom half.

Kvitova is very unpredictable and seems to be enjoying this event.Ashe is playing fast and players say that its playing like an indoor event and Petra plays very well indoors...so she will beat Konta..

 

[golds girl]

I doubt whether Konta can handle this moment so even if Kvitova tries to press the button, Konta will press her own more quickly.
I'm not interested in seeing 'show up once every 6 months' Stosur progress so rooting for Flavia. Lep chenko is outclassed and I think Halep's on a mission

who is coaching Zenka...Sascha or Wim.I have never seen a hitting partner that doesnt stay in his lane.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

So is Sascha Azarenka's hitting partner or co-coach, I am confused?

 

[kskate2]

both.

1. Petra's self destruct button is so powerful that once she hits it, there is nothing that the opponent can do prevent her from losing.

2. BTW, do you know that Konta is on a 16 match winning streak since she lost to Dominatrix on the center court in Wimbledon.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Simona - Sabine match is crazy. Both players are playing terrible. Sabine managed to win the first set in TB, not because she deserved to win, but because some one has to win the set.

It's really ugly. Think they just mentioned Lisicki is winning and already has 50 something unforced errors

The only way to describe this match is a sh!t show.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Can they both be defaulted for this extremely terrible mess we are seeing?

 

[Kirijax]

Morning Ladies and Gents.

Azarenka won. Crap.

Is the Halep-Lisicki match as bad as you guys are saying? Haven't seen any of it.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Let me put it this way! I feel sorry for the paying ticket holders who have to watch a third set.

I pretty much rolled my eyes when Halep won that second set...delaying the pain. Azarenka will cruise through her next round regardless of wins this

When I said Simona would force Sabine into a ton of errors, I meant figuratively, not literally. :snicker
