Kerber WOW , what a surprise , IMO she was a big favorite for winning it all here 

 

No way she was big favorite for the title  Her performance after Stuttgart was bad and chances for this upset were pretty high in my opinion.

And I was way more shocked with Pironkova's 2-0 win over Errani than with this outcome lol

well , no player really impressed this year in clay , so Kerber based on her results this year should have been one of the favorites IMO

Jelena Ana is close to finish this RG.

surprises are coming like every year

I am pleasantly surprised by the level of tennis Venus Williams and Anet Kontaveit showed. Excluding the groaning by both the game was really enjoyable to watch.

Coming home just to see that Siegemund was chanceless against Bouchard, what a horrible result ...

Not surprised to see that Kerber lost, she was shit on clay this year, has always been shit on clay and it will never change. The shocking thing is that Bertens didnt even play good tennis, pretty much everyone wouldve won against Kerber today. Kerber is just hopeless with such slow conditions (Stuttgart is indoor and much faster), she needs faster courts, thank god the olympics arent played on clay. Bertens was mentally pretty weak and offered two breaks to Kerber in the 3rd set (at 3:1 and at 5:3) but Kerber just wasnt mentally there today. I hope she will be able to get that loss out of her had, then she will be a contender again in Wimbledon and at the US Open. Now Beck/Ostapenko/Gavrilova/Safarova have to win this tournament, otherwise i will be very pissed.

What the fuck is Azarenka doing? I hoped that Azarenka would prevent Serena from getting her 22nd slam ...

Azarenka , btw is she suffering from an injury ?
