I'll be really surprised now if we don't end up with Halep vs Jabeur final.

At IW she had three MP against Leylah. She hit 5 consecutive UE's to lose the game, then the set, then retired. Lovely game, all the power in the world, some issues understanding the game.
Amanda had her chances to even up that set. Simona was definitely nervous in the end of that 3rd set and her first serve was having trouble. I now think Simona is the one to beat.

You have three BP's. At least, play one in which you just send everything back. At least one. Make the other player earn the point with her hitting the winner.
The other two, sure. Play to win. But make the other player earn at least one.

Maybe, maybe, maybe Rybakina with her serve. But here we go again. She is serving for the match, and falls 0-40.
I mean, I can understand. I would do the same (and most likely, with three doubles). But there is the reason they are in London right now, and I only have been there on vacation.

Rybakina moves on to play Counter Puncher Simona Halep. That is gonna be a really good match I think. Still give the advantage to Simona, but it will be a good one.

I know I've said this before, but Rybakina was on a roll in early 2020 before the shutdown. She was one of the hottest players on tour. I always felt Covid hurt her more than a lot of people in terms of momentum. Nice to see her get a great result like this.

Welp, no Ajla/Nick reunion at the Champions Ball.

I only saw the beginning and the end of the Rybakina match, but that was a carbon copy of the Tomljanovic-Halep matches I've seen in the past. On three occasions, Tomljanovic looked like the better player for about a set-and-a-half but could not maintain that high level.

Halep-Rybakina will be a virtual toss-up, but Halep is really good at exploiting players who do not move well on grass. If Rybakina has an average serving day, I like Halep to win, but it will be a battle.

I think Jabeur has a much easier time in her match than either Halep or Rybakina do. Also they are playing on back to back days, but at least Simona's match didn't go the distance.

Will there be certain irony if Rybakina, born in Moscow, grew up in Moscow, trained in Moscow (Dynamo and Sparta clubs) and who, except for her passport, is in all senses Russian, wins this thing?

Ok. And no sooner had I talked about Rafa's "from the parking lot" return of serve position, today he is noticeably closer to the baseline than as early as yesterday.

One set down for Rafa and on serve for Nick and Garin. Also Garin has already broken Nick's serve so it is not impossible. Not gonna be able to watch the rest of these matches unless they go for several more hours which could be possible as I am about to hit the courts myself for practice and hopefully take a little of what Simona had today with me. ;)

Love that she is inspiring you. She inspired me after she gave a monstrous effort at the Australian in 2018, even though she lost the final (played so hard she ended up in the hospital with dehydration). A few days after the final, I was struggling with something at work and literally thought, "If Simona can play her guts out for several matches, I can push harder on this" and it helped, Have a great practice!
