Re: Kiki Bertens
MD for the USO is out. First round against McHale 
Repeat of the RG R1. Kiki played really well in the beginning of that match (first set and a half or something). Hopefully she can get her revenge, but it's not an easy draw for her. But if she wins this one, she has a Q or Falconi in R2 
Hope she had enough time to recover from her shoulder injury

Re: Kiki Bertens
Yeah, she did well against McHale in Paris. I dont know if she can win with her shoulder issues but who knows. She also beat Safarova 0 and 3 on grass

Re: Kiki Bertens
Against McHale on hardcourt. That's a horrible draw.

Re: Kiki Bertens
McHale  Typical hardcourt player. Going to be tough.
Nothing to lose though, and she will play on a tv-court

How do you know she will play on a tv-court? 
Yeah, she plays a seed but they are not always on tv courts right?

McHale, American, seeded. 95% chance they'll play on a tv court

also the bottom half of the draw is significantly weaker than the top, which would for sure provide more open spots in tv court

Re: Kiki Bertens
Kiki def McHale (21) 6-4 4-6 6-3 
That's a really good win on the US hc 
From Kiki's website:
Quote:
At 4 all in the 1st set Kiki was serving and there were 12 deuces in that game 
She saved 7 BP in that game, but held serve and broke McHale's serve to win the 1st set.
She got broken in the 3rd game of the 2nd set and lost the 2nd 6-4
In the 3rd Kiki started serving at won the 1st game. During the 2nd game she had to run off court, because she had problems with her stomach. After that she took a 3-0 lead. Then she asked for the doctor and they gave her some medicine. She lost serve and McHale came back to 3-2. Then there were a few breaks and at 4-3, Kiki broke again and won the match on her 3rd MP.
|
2nd round will be against Olga Puchkova (143), who defeated Irina Falconi in R1: 7-6 6-7 6-3.

Re: Kiki Bertens
Thanks for saving the Dutch WTA honour 
Its pretty unbelievable, how she goes from way outside the top-150 inside the top-80, winning a WTA tournament and with this win she has already beaten 3 top-30 players this year. Really happy with this win And she defeated Puchkova 2 and 0 at Roland Garros, her next opponent

Kiki Bertens
Stripping Sam Stosur of her serve is like stripping a paedophile of his children: They become useless
