oh yeah you are right, her draw has really opened now!!
..who knows if and when she will get such a good opportunity again to reach a GS quarterfinal...
I am sure she knows that too, and I hope it won't give her too much pressure..
maria also should only see from match to match...
so next is sorana, who is leading 2-1 in their H2H...
so it's gonna be a very difficult match, so no comparison to the first two rounds imho
but she has a chance if she continues like she played so far in wimby...then you need some luck too on deciding points, so let's hope this time it will be on her side
and this time she really seems hungry after the frustrating last weeks (with the bad losses in singles and unlucky losses in doubles finals), which is good
Good luck to Makiri today against Cirstea. This is one of the biggest singles matches of Maria's career. If she wins she will have made the second week of all four grand slams in her career. With so many tough singles and doubles losses for Kiri lately a win today would be so sweet for her.
Too bad Kiri and Sorana have to play the last match on court 18 today. What a stupid schedule from the All England idiots. Maria's match should be first up not a women's doubles match. What the hell. Now Kiri and Cirstea have to wait all day to play and who knows how long the men's best of 5 set match will take.
Wow well done Maria. I did not expect such an easy win today for Makiri over Cirstea. Now she has 2 days to prepare for her first ever round of 16 appearance at Wimbledon. Now Masha has made the second week at all 4 majors as well as making the top 20 in singles and top 10 in doubles. That's a very good career for 98% of WTA players. But I want and expect more from Maria with her fine skillset and mobility and think all her fans want and expect more from her as well.
True, but she & Petrova are also the fourth match on Court 2 Saturday vs. the William sisters! This will be good prep for the additional pressure in singles going forward.
YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH impressive win from kiri!!!
she holds for 6-1 in a close last game, when sorana played one of her best points from the match!
and cirstea did not even have one single breakpoint! What a match Maria, I am speechless!
only 5 unforced errors from maria and she hit 15 winners
What a performance! Never seen her play this good on grass. Barely UE's and not even a BP faced. Didn't lose a point on her 1st serve in set 1.
I'm so proud of her! Keep it going against Peng!
4th Round at Wimbledon!
