Woz bageled CSN in the first set, but loses the second one in the TB...

Onto set #3 in the middle of the night :-)

They must hate Nadal; he keeps them off the court for hours, only to retire in the fifth set :-)

Svitolina is unwatchable. I hate her game and the way she moves.

C'mon Woz. Carla can't contend for this title.

Mertens ... one more shovel and you'll save WTA from the pushers dynasty that is taking root. :)

Won't happen. Woz will win. Quite a few of Mertens winners looked to be going out but nipped the line. With a bit more pressure, which Woz will provide, some of those shots will sail out.

We'll see. This is Wozz's last match in Melbourne 2018.
Today's Mertens is too good for the kind of game Wozz plays.
Mertens is fearless, consistently inside the court looking to finish points. Her serves never lets her down, specially in crucial moment. She plays smart tennis. Doesn't retrieve and hide behind the baseline. If Jana Fett can have a 5-1 lead against Wozz, so can Mertens.
And believe me, if Mertens is serving for the match, it's OVER!!!! She will not squander a 5-1 lead. She may give away the first break, but not the second.

Keys should swat Kerber aside if Kerber plays as she did against Hsieh. Otherwise, Keys will self-destruct with errors.

We saw Keys at the USO against Sloane. She can play baseball from start to finish and knock herself out of match.
We know what Kerber is going to do: push and watch.
So it's up to Keys. Lose quickly or win it clean.

Keys seems incapable of beating Halep, if memory serves.
