Women's tennis can be good but a Halep-Wozniacki final is going to be beyond horrible

Tonight's semifinal is gonna be crap. Fed is gonna roll over Chung in straights.

If it was possible for nobody to win a Grand Slam final it would happen in a Halep-Wozniacki match.

Hmm I'm a bit late for this semi final execution.

also yeah the women's game needs a proper drug fiend: Martina Hingis. Party drugs will steady the ship.

lol

I’m starting to think that after winning 2012 Wimbledon Federer realized the only thing that could enhance his GOAT status was a glorious comeback, so he tried to tank 2013-2016 but still managed to get to it finals in spite of himself.

Some good defense / counterpunching being played in this match. Really would like Halep to win.

It’s a really even matchup, the WTA version of Nadal vs Djokovic.

Same. She seems more with it mentally than in the past. The Kerber match was exhausting I’m sure but on balance I wonder if it helped her get in the zone

Halep should get a hindrance call for her grunting. Totally seems to increase when she´s down too. You shouldn't be able to make that kind of extended noise. Be loving quiet when the ball is on your opponents side.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

I expected this to be a really dull defensive match but it's actually been pretty entertaining.

Nice! Halep looks on her last legs at the moment, hopefully this heat rule break will help.
