What a snoozer.... not really sure if you can really judge Kerber's form or whether there's any improvement by this match, Ozaki just isn't much of a competitor and didn't pose much threat.
Wow...! Was this Kerbers comeback match this year?
She hasn't played this well since the YEC last year.
Didn't expect this on this slow court. Angie needs the faster surfaces.
But you could really see that she was enjoying herself for the first time on court this year.
You could see that she felt happy about the shots she made. I think this will give her confidence.
Though her serve is still weak and her groundstrokes lack power and length.
Now she will most likely lose to Sveta. Angie was so lucky with her draw here.
Ozaki was so bad She must have played much better in her previous rounds. Still a good tournament for her, she will get a new CHR :yeah:
Angie did what she had to do. Some very nice FH winners, but sometimes she lost concentration (no surprise given that Ozaki couldn't do anything :SNE. Overall not too bad.
Finally we'll get to see a match between Angie and another big name this season. Although that might not end up well for Angie if she doesn't rise her level. But it may help her to play against Svetlana or Venus instead of all the other girls she has flopped to this season :lol:
OP(MalJackson) still pressed with( fairly) talented qualifier making R4? LOL
Shame for Risa but NCH and nothing to defend till grass season was sure she can give Kerber run for her money big time (not the score like vs. stephens last yr but still ).Saw only 2 last games,that strap on thigh also ... :/

Yeah that was one of those "what the fudge did the rest of Ozaki´s MD and QD play like to allow her to reach the last 16"-moments. Even now that TAFKA LAV is losing in two sets to Konta I can see some actual form of play. Maybe the big strap on her thigh indicates some sort of injury problem with Ozaki, because that was horrible. Okay Swan, Boserup, Chirico, Bertens and Görges. Guess that´s part of it.
Risa:frown2: but a great experience for her,The biggest match of her life no doubt,pity it wasn't more competitive,but an amazing week for her from qualies..Angie too good.
