Vero :cheer: Great play, absolutely dominated the whole match, except for the minichoke at the end from 5-0.

Lucie :sad: She was so bad today, but also partly because Vero didn't give her any rhythm and played so solid throughout.

Only caught the last two points of this match :spit:

Two big errors (too long) from Lucie on those, I can only suspect that there were many more misses in this match.

well, she almost blew it .. luckily for her , Lucie blasted 4 balls including 3 ROS to the stands in the final game ..

well done, Vero :yeah: amazing to see this kind of players rise to the challenge and get wins in Slams (Jabeur, Cepede ...)

Still no development or margin in Lucie's game, that nuance she showed to get to her only Slam final was obviously a one off. Shame.

Watched this and was amazed at how well Cepede played up until 5-0 in the second. Safarova wasn't at her best but I didn't imagine Cepede would hit so many winners off both wings. She could definitely be a top 100 player if she sustained that level. From 5-0, though, that was a true choke, which may explain why she has never cracked the top 100. Hope this will give her confidence and propel her on to a nice long run in the top 100.

Great win for Vero, she seems to be playing some solid tennis this year :)

Sad for Lucie though, hopefully she can find her best again
