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.

Coco has beaten her easily earlier though..albeit on clay...

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...

Not happy with Coco's forehand though..still drops short ..but she will win now..

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..

Rybakina not getting her first serve...

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.

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....

Forehand technique...
Great movers,
Good serves
Great backhand
No similarities?! What would be a similarity for you, pray?

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. (Great effort from Cirstea).
