Bertens giving it away against Vondrousova with some utterly horrible play

Deciding set tiebreaks, boooo 

[heywoodu 16,001]

The draw is wide open and then she loses to the world number 103, right.

WTA 

Also Louis Armstrong Stadium has been quite brutal against some top seeded players.

A pity indeed. She loses a match where she had won more points than the opponent, broke serve 3 times and then allowed to be broken back. Finally, she completely lost it in the tie break. I was hoping for her to progress further but obviously she does not have the mental strength to win these big matches.

 

P.S. Vondrousova plays even more aggressive tennis than Serena and Sharapova. She is a potential top 10 player within 2 years time with the current quality of tennis on the tour

I hope she will not end up like Nicole Vaidišová...

Vondrousova is very very talented, but her form lately was... Enough said that she lost to Ellen Perez few days ago  I really wanted to see Bertens in quarterfinals, but cannot deny I am glad Marketa won. Though I think she's gona lose to Tsurenko now  Bertens really messed up this opportunity

Stepanek will be too old to mess up another talented player. But one never knows

[heywoodu 16,001]

Wow, Federer

And the bottom half looked very well in my head: quarters with Ostapenko-Kerber and Kvitova/Osaka - Bertens. Looks like I will get CSN-Cibulkova, Sasnovich-Tsurenko at the end
