Iga will still have Krejcikova to deal with, but yes one GS champion in the draw less (6 left).
A player that I have a weird feeling that could give Iga a fit is her possible next match up in Alize Cornet. I don't know why, but I smell upset.
Because Cornet is a very good grass player. I will not call the upset, but if she does, I will not be surprised.
Cornet even beat Williams here (2014), so it is not as if she has never played a super high profile match at the AELTC.
Since pretty much everyone has said that Iga would roll through the tournament I will call the upset. I think it is gonna happen.
Getting picked up in a bit and heading out to Tennis practice soon.
I also think Iga will lose before SF's, but I don't think it will be to Cornet. Iga is not as good on grass + the winning streak must be adding extra pressure.

I just have one of those gut feelings about the Iga and Alize match that could be the next match.
And, Tan backs her win over Serena by beating SST. And rather easily.
Proof that there are so many ways to play this sport successfully. Hit as soft as you can.

Beating Serena was because Serena was unwell .she had to be carried off the doubles court the next day....so I don't consider that a real win..but Cornet is playing well and has the spunk to beat Swiatek, certainly possible ..the thing about Cornet is she thinks she is a great player, which is so necessary!
Looking forward to seeing Parry tomorrow..loved her serving action..like Alicia Molik,'s...not saying she will beat Jabeur but she has a shot..and she is fun to watch

This is spot on. She is not a great player, but she goes into every match thinking she can win, particularly against top players. She also beat Serena once at Roland Garros.
