This is already boring. 20 shots for each points?

Serena should have played first. Can't believe I have to wait for this push fest to be over.
10 minutes for 1 game????

I see no pushing... it is not because a rally has more than 4 exchanges, that is it a pushing contest :-)

Thanks Halep. Well done.
With the first 2 games taking 20 minutes, I thought this was gonna be a 3 hours push fest.
Still regret not selecting Halep for the Skan. I should trust my girl.

You got to give those women time to get used to the match.

Once it was going, it went fast... Simona hitting so many winners.

I know one thing: if Halep manages to make Serena run like she made Svitolina run, then Serena will be in trouble. Svitolina was moving way better than Serena vs Riske. And Riske pushed her to the brink.

I expect a great final!

Serena will have to "push" against Halep for Halep to be able to move her around.
If Serena serves big and returns big, she doesn't have to be excellent off the ground. A mediocre ground game would be enough.
If her serve is MIA and return is mediocre, that's when she would need an excellent ground game.
I think she will serve and return well.
Not sure about the ground strokes. Not counting on them.
