Now if only Konta had played at her very best (and continued it throughout the rest of the week), then we could have been looking at a Pliskova Konta final. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Serena needs to get a grip on this match fast or the tournment and number 1 seeding will be gone. I worry for Caro even more so if kerber comes out knowing shes world no.1

Would Kerber be World No.1 before her match, or only if she reaches the final?
![]() ETA if they both win then Serena has to win the final to retain number 1. |

Pliskova is very calm, even when she's losing badly she finds a way and remains calm. Such a strong mentality.

Serena can stay no.1 if - She makes the Final and Kerber loses her SF or if she beats Kerber in the Final. |

I don't think having to play a match tonight after yesterday has helped Serena. With her age and bad shoulder. Oh well.

It looks like Serena's shoulder is giving her problems.

And the Halep match was a tough tough match, it must have taken a lot out of her too. She covered so much of the court with running yesterday.

So if Serena does lose then, it will be cause 'Serena was injured' and not cause Pliskova played really well? I assume that's how the media will see it. But it would be nice if Pliskova got the credit for playing well.
ETA The USA media might see it that way though.
