Mertens is evidently better than I think! Just started watching, end of first ser
Everyone laughed at me when I said Mertens would be a challenge. and that Coco's whole draw is tough. Wozniacki would be next, right? Tough.

Caro and Coco are mirror-images, they are the same player, actually...if Coco gets past Mertens, she should win..she is much younger, after all...

You don’t think Coco is much more offensive? I never thought of her as a counterpuncher. Maybe she is. If so she should impose herself a lot more.

Wozniacki’s tenacity, experience and champion mjndset are hard to bet against.

Caro has a great attacking backhand and a good serve,just like Coco.but yes, Coco has become more aggressive in the past couple months..

Who was laughing?!?! Coco's form has certainly been questionable at the Open. For a set and a half, Mertens was looking quite dangerous. Then- she went back to Old Mertens form. For the first set and a half- I'd say that Coco's backhand, of all things, looked like her worst shot- SO many errors.

Coco's gotta find her best game again. Still- enough of She Who Just Will Not Go Away. At least beat HER, Coco. :yD

What? They are most definitely not.

Wozniacki is a backboard that has never hit a winner in her life

Beat me to it. I find no similarities whatsoever.

....NONE of you are talking about Novak!??! (LOL, I've been away for a bit....) Granted- after losing the first to sets, Novak is now up 4-0 in the third....

Saw the score and flipped it on...so if he turns it around I'll take the blame/credit.

Why can't any of these bums ever just polish Novak off?!?!

Also- very bummed that Rybakina lost. Was at least hoping to see her play at the Open. :x (Great effort from Cirstea).
