Muchova and Alexandrova are the class players in this field...

[Suliso]

Tauson has been playing very well lately. A title in Auckland, R3 at AO (lost to Sabalenka) and now SF's here. Close to her career high in live rankings.

Yes, Tauson at last fulfilling her promise...as a junior champion etc.

Tauson has been playing very well lately. A title in Auckland, R3 at AO (lost to Sabalenka) and now SF's here. Close to her career high in live rankings.

That was a strange case. No injuries to speak of, no visible turmoil, just a case of not living up to the high expectations she set herself. She looked like top 20 material very early on, and then, what we have seen.

[ashkor87]

To me, Tauson is a junior Mertens, no real game to beat the great players with..Won't be surprised if Yastremska knocks her off. Tauson does have nice variety, though, not just slam-bang.. nice to watch

[ashkor87]

court is quite fast, faster than the AO.. Alexandrova and Muchova will do well, unfortunately meeting each other next in the semis.
