WOMENS SEMIS

 

SHARAPOVA SHOWS HER CLASS IN THE END

In the first of the 2 women’s semi finals Maria Sharapova needed 3 sets to get rid of Eugenie Bouchard after loosing the first set 4-6 it did not look like Sharapova was at her brilliant best but after winning the second 7-5 you knew that this tie could go either way. In the third Sharapova blew Bouchard away and broke twice to win the third by 6 games to 2. Sharapova looks very good in this semi but does need to improve for the final

HALEP CRUISED TO THE FRENCH OPEN FINAL  

 

In the other semi two players that played yesterday Simona Halep played Andrea Petkovic and Halep took complete control of the first set winning 6-2 the second was much tighter as it went to a tie breaks that. This is a massive win for Halep and will improve her greatly in her quest for this French open.  
Who do you feel had the easier time?
Do you feel that the higher seed had more of an advantage because of who they have played?
Who do you feel had more pressure or expectation?

MENS SEMIS

I feel that Rafa Nadal will go into the final after meeting Andy Murray in 4 sets where he will play Novac Djockovic who will beat Ernests Gulbis in 4 sets what do you think?
Can Rafa loose? is there too much pressure on him?
Where does Novac look in this picture do you feel that the tie will be too easy for him? 

MIXED DOUBLES FINAL

 

GROENFIELD AND ROJER WIN DOUBLES

The mixed doubles had a different system of running which includes only 1 deuce and a champion’s tie break which is a race to 10 and this was the final of it between Anna- Lena Groenfield of Germany and Jean- Julian Rojer of the Nertherlands against Julia Guergos of Germany and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia. Both teams got a set with the first going to  Guergos and Zimonjic who won 6-4 and the second went to Groenfield and Rojer who won 6-2 which lead to a champions tie break which Groenfield and  Rojer won 10-7 to win this tie break
