I watched Keys play for the first time since AO 23.. Madison's game was very solid. Madison should make it to the semis very easily.

I thought you had given Madison the flick? I see you are taking notice of her because she has made the QFs at Charleston?
Madison was champion here in 2019 btw.

Well apparently you are not aware that Daria's best surface is clay I suggest you look up her results, she is 8th seed world ranked, going on the players that entered at Charleston, with Sabalenka withdrew, her ranking is correct.

LOL! .....that has made my day btw

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just watching Jabeur vs Kalinskaya, Kalinskaya has had MTO for bad blisters on her foot
Ons too good winning 6-0 1st set and 4-1 in the 2nd set
Bad luck Kalinskaya, she was treated for blisters on her foot in the 1st set and 2nd set and has retired
Ons Jabeur wins by retirement 60 4-1

I think I understand Keys now..in Madison's mind she feels that

I think I understand Keys now..in Madison's mind she feels that she can break down everyone's game like she typically has her way vs Kasatkina game. However, Key's mind has went to pieces again

Well I wish somone can hold their serve in this QF for starters Keys vs Kastakina, Key's mind going to pieces? Never LOL!
Keys needs to control her aggression on all surfaces, if not she just becomes a UFE machine

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Daria will serve for the 1st set 5-4 meanwhile MTO for Madison right arm/shoulder
Help me Daria and her serve broken, while serving for the 1st set, 5 games all now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Daria broke Madison, serving for the 1st set 6-5 for a 2nd time and of course she was broken?
TB now for the 1st set

TB now for the 1st set

Good Grief wasn't that an awfully poor played set of tennis ..I turned away from Tiger's awful golf game to watch this crap. Almost 90 minutes

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Keys won the 1st set 76(5) over Kastatkina, Daria's serve does let her down in matches, still this match has been messy, both players failed to hold their service games, both players had their chances to win the match before a TB for the 1st set

I know it was one big Mess from both players. Hopefully the 2nd set will be better, quite frankly it cannot get any worse? can it?
I might take a break and watch the golf lol! my head hurts from watching the 1st set lol!

Why does keys goes for an inside out bh when she is stand a foot and half from the doubles alleys...she has the same tennis IQ as a member of my team of cyber security architects who got fired because he couldn't distinguish a phishing emails from a corporate vendor's emails. I CAN'T make this stuff up

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Seeing they had thunderstorm at the golf I decided to go for a run instead, I am hoping Aussie Jason Day can have a good tournament with all the back injuries he has had
I set all between Madison and Daria, I am not suprised, going 3 sets now
Daria might have wished she could have served the 1st set out, she had 2 tries in doing so, this could come back to haunt her in the 3rd set

I think Madison will have more UFEs in this match than the total number of Donald Trump's indictments counts @tented

Well she is known to be a UFE machine at times, why are you watching her since giving her the flick in favor of Rybakina btw?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Patience is needed on the clay for starters,( as I was brought up on the real red stuff, not this hard court with green stuff sprinkled over it at Charleston lol!, ) you watch the better clay court players patience is a key to their overall games, turning defense into offense is the key.
