Ivanovic and Bouchard...*sigh.* They're as disappointing as Dimitrov, who at least is resurging.

Huge win for Caro over Svetlana

 

[Moxie]

Good to see her get a big win. Hopefully she's making her way back. Terrible scare with Konta earlier. She was overcome with heat and they had her laid out on the court, taking pulse and blood pressure, but she recovered and came back to win in 3.

 

[Carol]

Oh Mugu, she has the power, the game but sooo unstable :scratch:

 

[Moxie]

This is pretty shocking. She had control of this set, and she lost it. I'd like to see her win the match, so Rafa will have to wait.

If she continues playing that way I don't see her going to the next round

 

[Moxie]

OMG. Back against the wall, and Muguruza gets herself back on serve. With help from her opponent. If she gets out of this one, it would be a very great escape.

 

[Carol]

Vamos Mugu!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Carol]

Mentally? then think that you can win!!!!!!

 

[Carol]

Ugggggghhh


And that's all

 

[Moxie]

I guess that's the upset of the day. I don't know what to do about this woman.

It's getting to the point where Garbine getting swept off court in the early rounds is far more likely than making a decent run... on hardcourts at least.

 

[Moxie]

Post maiden-major slump. She didn't invent it.

While you were sleeping, your girl Cibulkova was up by a break in the first and managed to blow that lead, though she pulled it together after.

Yeah, good to see Dominika progressing.

 

[Moxie]

Yeah, I like her, too.

Muguruza has failed to go past 2RD at Wimbledon and now the USO,I gave her a pass at Wimbledon after winning her first Major at RG,mentally she just goes away,also she needs to address her defense.
