Maria vs Kerber cette nuit....dommage que ce soit si tard....devrait être un bon match.....Djoko et Federer jouent aussi cette nuit.....

 

[EagerBeaver]

Great match between Davis and Halep........11-11 in the 3rd set in a medical timeout. Davis is hurt....she is a real cutie, don’t you think Gaby? Davis is only 5’2” and has a cracked toenail apparently.

 

[gaby]

Yep...one the most spectacular match have seen in the last years....Halep won 15-13 in the last set....wow.....and yes Davis played at the end with a cracked toenail....ouchhhhh. J'ai rarement vu des filles jouer avec une telle intensité durant tout un match et avec des échanges aussi longs et puissants pour 2 petites femmes.

They played 3h45....could you believe it!!!!! Kudos to both...and spécialement to Davis who played a heck of a game.... yep a real cutie. Les fans présents n'en croyaient pas leurs yeux et à la fin they were cheering for Davis....de toute beauté . Thanks girls pour un match magnifique.

Kerber won easily on Maria in 2 sets.......Djoko, Nadal, Federer move on.....

 

[gaby]

Madison Keys vs Garcia tonight at 7......two cuties with nice body....should b a good one. Nadal plays around 10h30....enjoy.

 

[gaby]

Note.....Halep-Davis....this match equals the longest one played by women in Melbourne since 1996....that's quite something. Darren Cahill---Halep's coach--said about both players.....the fight extraordinary and tenacity remarkable....nothing to add.

 

[EagerBeaver]

I watched the end of Halep - Davis and it was an incredible match. Davis’s weakness is her serve, and because she is only 5’2” and somewhat petite, she relies on speed. The cracked toenail likely hampered her, and she looked like she got overpowered on some points. Her game plays well on clay courts and she will be a dangerous opponent at the French Open.

 

[gaby]

Sorry....Keys--Garcia tonight at 7....not always easy to follow the schedule in Melbourne.

 

[gaby]

Dimitrov won in 4 sets vs the abrasive and unpleasant Kyrgios who is in top of his game and playing at home.....good news for me....Dimitrov is on fire and will b a tough customer.

 

[gaby]

Strong statement by Keys....too perfect-too stong-too hot for Garcia. I like Keys..nice and humble girl. Kerber won a strange and weird match vs Hsieh BUT fun to watch...unique. So Keys will play Kerber in quarter...should b a good one. Halep moves on also.

Oups,,,Djoko is out and injured again.....Federer moves on.

 

[gaby]

Svitolina and Wozniacki play in quarter tonight......should see both in semi-final.......same with Nadal and Dimitrov.

 

[gaby]

Wow strange night....Svitolina lost against Mertens who played a perfect game.....and Wozniacki moves on. Big surprise....Dimitrov and Nadal with keg injury--too bad--are out. The door is open for Federer.

 

[gaby]

Very good matchs tonight.........kERBER--KEYS at 7.......and HALEP--PLISKOVA at 11.....for tennis fan should b exciting evening.....best women are still fighting.....

 

[gaby]

Formidable que les principales aspirantes au titre soient toujours debout....HALEP-KERBER-PLISKOVA-WOZNIACKI et même KEYS...nous sommes déja assurés d'une bonne finale.

Malheureusement il en est tout autrement chez les hommes...quelle hécatombe......DJOKO et NADAL sortis blessés et mal en point...DIMITROV sorti par un inconnu.....heureusement reste King ROGER.....

 

[gaby]

Easy win for Kerber...everything was going Kerber's way....she played like a champ....sorry for Keys. Same for Halep...just too good. Kerber-Halep will play in semi....dommage for me should have been the final.

Roger moves on...should do it all the way. Go Roger.

 

[gaby]

WOW....HALEP--KERBER....quel spectaculaire match---2 vraies championnes qui luttent pour leur survie. ...le tennis féminin a son meilleur......finalement Halep 9-7 au 3ème set.....bravo les filles pour un match intense ...un grand moment de tennis.

Halep va donc affronter Wozniacki en finale....cette dernière joue du tennis inspiré depuis 2017...son meilleur tennis.....donc l'on devrait avoir droit a une grande finale.....I will cheer for Halep.

FEDERER--CILIC chez les hommes....Go Roger go....should b a good one too.

 

[gaby]

Wozniacki did it..congrats..she is playing since 2017 her best tennis BUT kudos to Halep.....who played injured all the tournament and went through 2 marathons---Davis and Kerber---plus played Pliskova.....incredible et quelle détermination et intensité...she fought until the last play...and she almost did it....bravo ..

pour moi la star incontesté de ce tournoi . Wozniacki is now number one. Thanks girls for this great final.

 

[gaby]

Yes King Roger did it again....enfin un bon match enlevant chez les hommes....Federer won in a good fight with Cilic in 5 sets......CHEERS.

Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski won the mixed doubles title....BRAVO. De fait la qualité du tennis joué par les femmes---Halep-Kerber--Wozniacki- entre autres IMHO ont été les faits saillants de Melbourne this year.....merci les filles.
