US Open Day 8: Monday, September 1

[Correspondent Kiu]

That yelling and screaming with come-on after every point did not help her, not with the crowd or the scoreboard, Vika falls behind 4-5
She will serve to stay in the set.

 

[Moxie]

Krunic takes it. Some comeback in that set. And a collapse by Vika.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That yelling and screaming with come-on after every point did not help her, not with the crowd or the scoreboard, Vika falls behind 4-5
She will serve to stay in the set.

Vika can be her own worst enemy at times on a court.
She needs to calm down and focus on the match at hand

 

[kskate2]

Vika is in for the fight of her life tonight. This chick will not go away. 6-4 3-2 for Krunic

 

[tossip]

Krunic has surprising power for such a small player and good placement...she is a sweetheart

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

OMG Vika that over head?

 

[nehmeth]

Krunic has surprising power for such a small player and good placement...she is a sweetheart

I really like her. She hits the ball well, and I don't mind the "moonball" here and there to change the pace of the point. If she takes down "Hooty" tonight, this USOpen could be a great jumpstart to her career.

 

[tossip]

this year the New Yorkers are not feeling these screamers...

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I am going to need Serena to practice that forehand a bit more. It was crappy today.

 

[tossip]

Chanda Rubin is biased towards Zenka...

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Vika in control of the second set, Ahead 5-4 and serving for it.

 

[tossip]

just dont feel that Azarenka will win this event...

 

[kskate2]

And Vika finally takes the set 6-4. Krunic will not go away though. Third set is no gimme for Vika

 

[kskate2]

just dont feel that Azarenka will win this event...

Who's talking about her winning this event? She has to get past this one and Maka to even meet Serena in SF. That's no guarantee on her current form :nono

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I am keeping an eye on the scoreboard, the numbers are very very close after 2 sets.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I really like Krunic's composure on court.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I am very impressed by Krunic. I think she is lot smarter than Bencic and CiCi. Of course,
she is probably older than the other two.

hey lady I am just thinking aloud...simmer down

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Vika is slowly pulling away here in the 3rd set, she started it like the first set, up an early break.

 

[kskate2]

^ Except she ended up dropping the 1st set
