what a win by Lyuda!
Very close first set and then completely dominated set 2. Now she gets to face Wang Xiyu in the SFs

33 winners to 8 says it all... fully deserved win by Lyuda

Can't make it even with a joke draw in an MM.
Good riddance.

 

[Aga2Iga]

Great first set. Emma pretty much folded up shop in the second set, especially on the last five points after two double faults in the 1-4 service game.

Think I heard there was 1 winner to 9 unforced errors for Emma in the second set from the broadcast 😬

eMTO was able to beat World #217 & #67 and it got a bunch of stans excited again.
But apparently #60 was too strong.

yea I believe she had 7 winners 14 UE in Set 1 so its actually 1 Winner to 10 UE, compare that to the Set Shelby played earlier, 11 winners to 1 UE...

 

[Kurmay3Katti]

Oh well...

Didn't expect Emma to win but I wish she won that first set.

Well done Samsonova! I wonder if she will get the title here.

 

[Haleptard]

Quitting isn’t cute, Emma. Most young players would’ve been hungry and fighting for a SF here even after losing a close first set, but Emma seemingly has motivation issues after the success and boatloads of money she’s had early in her career

 

[Anna F'd Enrique]

Did well to reach 4 SP with those stats.

Wasn’t able to watch. Sounds dire.

 

[GameSetMatch6060]

Emma even lacked the Pride to avoid an S2 Breadstick...
Wow...:smfh:

 

[Aga-esque]

Emma Ostapenko should just start slapping at this point. Whatever giga-brained game plans she has been bringing to these matches isn't working because she can't execute.

 

[BrengleisGOAT!]

Russian Giorgi was terrible in the first set but managed to just hang in there to win it, Little Miss Porcelain played pretty solid all things considered.

Russian Giorgi then raised her level in set 2, and Little Miss Porcelain just couldn't do anything against the power of Russian Giorgi, eventually just tapping out of the match by the end.

 

[Perun]

Wow, I got it right like I predicted, Samsonova won and without having to play a very long match.

When Emma served for the set in the tiebreak, her 1st serve was weaker than most 2nd serves, it was the opposite of assertive...

And who told her to play this far away from the baseline?! She's better off hugging the baseline and hitting the ball on the rise. She's not strong enough to play the way she does, that's why yesterday's match could have lasted 4 hours had it gone 3 sets.

yeah. shes not big build- to go for long periods? why she doing that. shes more built like a fashion model

 

[bruzdawg]

Emma might be the biggest mental midget on planet earth

 

[Queen_Of_Spray]

Samso served like trash in the first set, don't know how she pulled off the first set, but once she calibrated her sprays she was teeing off on Sweet Emma.

Canu looked tired and despondent after set 1. Needs more resilience and fight back attitude. Commentator chatting about this is the wta and not met gala or endorsements lol. Canu must learn the grind. Samsonova nearly lost herself the first set with ue. Love to see Russian crushing the brit so brit media goes silent.
