Osaka can't find her serves today.. And off the ground, she is just staying in the rallies.. no power shots. That's not working at all. You are not Svitolina to play push-ball all match long.
Bencic is just happy to stay in the rally in hit side to side. She is serving well too, despite the DF.

Here comes the coach.. ....
And he is right. you can't just roll the balls in. That's not your game.
"you are shooting yourself in the foot" just rolling the balls in. Good observation, coach. That's exactly what I am seeing.
You can't beat Svitolina, Bencic, Sevastova, Kerber, rolling balls in. That's their game. They do it better than everyone else. They'll beat you.
You have to strike or you have no chance.

needs to move forwards. So many short balls but you are always waiting behind the baseline. Rex's been talking about that ... for ever.

Halep was playing like WTA #99 .. No serve, no return, no ground strokes... That was bad.
Even simple rallies she couldn't handle.

Pliskova struggling against Kontaveit. If she prevails here with this kind of play and brings it to Bencic, she'll lose 6-2 6-2. lol lol

I always considered Bencic the one with the greatest potential of the 1997-class, and this result confirms it for me.
She hit the ball so early, takes away the time from players to move forward. Staying healthy and injury-free is her main task now. And top 10 a question of weeks? :-)

wow. Just checked the scoreboard.
Anyone watching Muguruza about to be double bageled by the young Canadian?
0-6 0-3 ... Is she injured?
or did she get the flu from shaking Serena's hand? :) :)

She avoided the double bagel... barely... 6-0 6-1 is the most shocking result of this event so far.

A would not mind Venus vs Bencic and Andreescu vs Voundrousova in the SF
