Garbine :yeah: :D :)
Straight sets against a grasscourt specialist :)

QF against Konta or Vandeweghe :devil: :drool:

People are hilarious. Garbine just beat Alison in Birmingham. Not Serena in Wimbldon's final.

In attempt to adjust to other surfaces, Ali is not the same grass courter we once knew.....sad.
Oh well, no shame in losing to a much higher ranked player though

Sadly Garbine is done against Coco just like she is against Pliskova and Radwanska :spit:

Muguruza was very impressive. Riske was extending the rallies and keeping the ball deep most of the time, but she couldn't do anything against the power of Muguruza.

Again, when Riske played a couple of slice returns, she had more chance to approach the next ball on her own terms. She only did that a handful of times during the match though - there was no real attempt at adjustment. When Muguruza is playing this well, her opponent will need to try to disrupt her rhythm or they'll have zero chance. It will be interesting to see if Muguruza keeps this form up at Wimbledon.
