Rybakina unstoppable for the moment: serves Siegemund a bagel within 20 minutes...
Hope that she keeps it up in this match...

Second set a bit less straightforward, but Rybakina broke when it mattered (when leading 5-4).
So a clear 6-0 6-4 win...

There was a time when Zhuhai was meant to promote upcoming talents. Rybakina fits that description perfectly: 20y old, 2018-YE ranking was 182, now well into the top40 (and if she wins here in Luxemburg into the top30), played two WTA finals, winning one (maybe a second one here).
And she did all of that without playing a slam, a Prem.Mand and only one P5 (Wuhan - got to the QF)...

Yet she cannot play Zhuhai. So what is the point of that event? And then I I see that Kerber, Keys, Mertens,.. are eligible.
It should be for young players only (like -23y old)

Antonia is taking a medical off-court. I guess coming through qualies and reaching the qtrs is too much for her gangly frail-like body. Will she give it up?

No and returns to eat a candy cane in the lst. However, Jello is playing well and not hitting wild errors, executing her ground game, nicely.

Ah.....anticipated match turning out to be a stinker. Antonia down 0-2 in the 2nd and not remotely competitive....

Loses by 6-1 scores in 2. Well.....good for Jello and it appears her hookup with Bartoli is bearing fruit for the moment.....
