Gonna take some of that great Halep fight to win this now. Looks like it's slipping away from her but there's a chance that Bouchard will tighten up when closing out.
This is over I'm afraid, Simona is putting little weight on her ankle, hence why she's getting no spring in her feet on the serve and her movement (which is her strength) is massively hindered.
Bouchard isn't stupid she's just getting the ball in court, and keeping Simona moving.
GSM there I think. Bouchard seems to be more mentally tough than the usual young player. Sad for Halep and I hope this doesn't damage the wonderful confidence she has built up.
Simona never recovered from the interruption because of the guy in the stands. It came at a key moment when she was playing well, and it gave Bouchard a chance to get back in a groove.
If Bouchard is in the final, I won't watch it. I couldn't stand another match with this sort of commentary.
me too. I've not really watched a Bouchard game before, but this is OTT. She's very average to me, playing an injured player. Any number of players would easily beat her. They're discussing her like she's the new Steffi Graf or something
It's all going wrong for Simona.
If Bouchard gets to the final, then I'm supporting Kvitova. In no small part due to the ridiculous Genie-worship from the commentators.

Some of the line calls have been beyond belief.
Halep is out, IMO
This could've been brilliant if not for that slip.
She is injured...

Unless Simona does a Novotna then it's very unlikely.
Mac is fanboying to the max.
