IW WTA Main Draw

Significant final for the youngsters. At stake is 1.3 mil. for the winner, 650k for the loser and 1,000 ranking points.

Naomi is now in the 8th spot for the YEC at this point, Kasatkina 6th. Petra K. is 5th and it appears she'll be there at the end. Haven't watched the YEC for the last 2 years because it's missing its best players (Petra, Vika and Serena). Now, that Petra is back it will at least hold my interest. If Vika can get back to form, play more events and qualifies, it's all good for the event. Not counting on Serena, for even if she qualified, she would skip it. Doesn't like Asia.

They more than deserve to be in final, having taken out many favorites, tough opponents. This was not a case of Draw opening up. Nice to see these 2 battle with the best and come on top. Congratulation !!!!#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#The final is a contrast of 2 styles: the Williams Academy style displayed by Osaka, and the Radwanska Academy represented by Kasatkina. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#My choice is obvious: Osaka. All you have to do is look at  how she closed that first set. She saw Halep getting back in the game and thought, "wait a minute; not here, not now." And she delivered a stinging ace, like a true graduate from the Ace2Ace Academy

#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Kasatkina's "peaceful" game will be under fire from start to finish. Unless Naomi somehow loses her mind and starts dumping balls in the net, she will be unstoppable. Naomi was gifting too many points to Halep in the first set, allowing the Romanian Diamond to hope for something. But  Super Coach Sasha Bajin cleaned things up, and the UEs disappeared. Darling Halep could only see dust. It was over before Halep knew it. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#b#ed_cl#Prediction: Osaka#ed_op#/b#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl#

Both were cryptic, Venus especially so. When a reporter asked her what she thought of the potential of Kastakina and the matches they've played, Venus just shrugged and said...."I made too many errors" while shaking her head and "I have to stop making those many errors against her".... Her presser lasted all of 3 and a half minutes. Simona's just over 5 minutes. #ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

I saw the first minute and turned it off. If I were a reporter, I'd just walk out. Why even bother asking her questions if she is not in the mood of answering them. Just leave her alone.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Halep was pathetic. I couldn't watch the whole thing either. She is not ready. it's too cold. she was not prepared. WTF?#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Simona not being ready for the semi was a ridiculous response, while Venus losing after making unforced errors when it matters is not atypical, for she's done it oft over these recent years. #ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#
