Moscow Draw and ResultsSasnovich made it easy for Dari: starting with a DF and then a load of UE's (well, Daria playing a bit less cramped), andKasatkina break on love (and takes the first set 6-4.... well, it should have been a bagel or a breadstick tbh).#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Match still not in the pocket: she needs to lose the tightness here...#ed_op#br#ed_cl# "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Sasnovich starts with a break... despite winning the first set, I see dark clouds here for Daria... The difference between the first 5-6 games and what came after that is huge... #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#She needs to find that positive agressiveness again. #ed_op#br#ed_cl# "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re-break 1-1, and now 2-1 for Kasatkina. I hate to say it, but Daria is pushing in these last games: returning the ball without making life hard for the opponent... and on top of that, making UE's while doing so. Daria was 0-30 up in the second game, but her push-game+UE's gave Sasnovich 40-30... and then the latter make three UE's herself... Match started so well, and now became an error-fest. Positive aggression became negative passiveness in the bling of an eye "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Promising start of her SF: Begu serves, 4 points, al went to Daria. first break of the day.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Edit: easy hold for 2-0... that FH is doing serious damage: hitting winners from everywhere. And that shot has gained some significant acceleration.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl# Last edited by Graveller on Oct Fri 20, 2017 7:16 am, edited 1 time in total. "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" First set in the bag 6-2. Closing in on her second Premier Final, and three sets away from top20 and Zhuhai (still a long way to go) "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" And just like in Set1, Daria starts the second set by breaking her opponent on love... So far, Begu only managed to hold serve once... (20% success rate) "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re:Moscow Draw and ResultsWell-done, Julia Goerges Wins her first title after a six-year drought and does it in style, routing Kasatkina in the Moscow final. She'll also return to the top 20, becomes the #1 German, and has qualified for Zhuhai. |
