Ladies' draw: Miami 2019

[Ace2Ace]

First Miami Finalists .. First time winner.
Good luck to the ladies !!!

Now to my girl.
Halep, show them who's got the down-the-line backhand winners. Show me the ITF Halep, the one that was knocking out all those tall girls. Bring out the attacking Halep, not the one that stand miles behind the baseline..
Let's do this!!!

if Hale and Kvitova reach the Final, they will be the new #1 and #2.
And whoever wins will be the #1.
Very interesting.
A great opportunity for Kvitova to finally get to WTA #1. She's got to win all her remaining matches.

Lady Yafan Wang lost. She was the better player of the 2. A few bad unforced errors did her in. I like her power game. She looks like a hard worker, unlike lady Aiava( who announced she is showing up in Charleston).
Keep working hard, Miss Yafan; it will pay off !!!

Kvitty lost, so Halep will be #1.

not yet.. Halep has to make the Final, otherwise, Naomi still reigns supreme.

[21] Kontaveit vs [12] Barty

---------- Bottom Half --------

[5] Ka. Pliskova vs. Vondrousova vs. [2] Halep

[Ace2Ace]

Let's go Halep, take out the tall girl. Keep the balls hard and low, she can't bend those knees. You've been beating her over the years. Time to do it again.
H2H: Halep leads 7-3 ...
Let's make it 8-3 !!!!!!!!

So Halep bails out.
She had so many opportunities to run away with that first set. Once she lost it, and went down 0-2 in the 2nd set, I went to bed. I knew it was over. Halep was in no mood to stick around in a 3rd set. I am even thinking she gave up after losing that first set.

Lady Osaka remains the World Numero Uno.
All challengers fell apart.
