You know it's weird, I'm surprised at the result but not shocked, found it difficult to call. Whilst I'd be lying if I said I was expecting Pliskova to win, I did think she could cause Serena real trouble. She's talented, got a big serve, and crucially Serena's only played her once so she doesn't quite know how to handle her yet. Plus Serena's almost 35, gets nervous more easily, it's all adding up. Happy for Pliskova though, we'd been waiting so long for her to make that slam breakthrough I was starting to wonder if it'd ever happen. And now she does it in incredible style!
So Kerber-Woz next, wouldn't rule out the upset here at all. Very odd situation for Angie, has anyone ever had to walk on court and play a match minutes after becoming the new world #1? Hoping Kerber does win though, who'd have thought we could be seeing a repeat of the Cincinnati final in New York?!
