Valentino Del Piero kenin appeared because Bianca Andresscu injured her knee and kenin was on standby the whole week. Good on her giving svitlina decent sparring session
@WOLVERINE WOLVERINE That's true. Without been tested to the limits you wouldn't know where your strengths lie. So, I guess it's a bit of give and take!
yeah people say the courts are pretty slow here, I haven't watched enough to assess that, but if it is so, it absolutely works wonders for the supreme runner Svitolina
@pennless8 lol, horrible excuses for Serena. she is still pretty great, but Halep beat her absolutely convincingly, fans like you are absolute garbage.
I think it is the court that really suits elina's game. She can run so fast and hits accurately to the line. Altou she does not hits really hard, she can make her opponent frustrated
Am I the only one who loved kenins game more than svitolina despite the latter won. Because kenin has lot of variety she needs to reduce her unforced errors thats all.
Sofia's serve needs to get better next year, but no doubt she's had an amazing 2019. Her ground game is a beautiful thing to watch, especially some of those angles she's able to make and the net play is better than it was earlier this year. If she can only get that service game on lockdown, there will be no woman that will want Sofia Kenin in their part of any draw in 2020.
Svitolina is so tough on slower hardcourts. It's strange because she makes it look so hard to hit through her, and yet she actually seems to be able to hit winners and bigger serves here than on faster courts?! Her second serve in particular was much quicker in this match than she usually hits it, some of them were in the high 130kph!
@@jasonwilson8134 AO hasn't been fast in a while, and IW plays quite like a quick clay court at times. Dubai is probably one of (if not the) quickest of the big events.
@@romanHederer Yeah, she's great on any hard court really! Really fast hard courts to tend to favour big, flat hitters though. If you catch Osaka, Venus, Serena, Keys, Pliskova on a fast hard court on a good day then you're in for some trouble.
Elina 'bar of soap' Svitolina only wins on slow courts because they play into her pusher game. But Kenin came close to beating her so in any other setting she'd go down like the Titanic
Both are good players on any surface but Elina has more tactics on slower courts . She always comes back winning, even on the brink of a loss, that's why Elina is a better player! Can't wait for her to demolish Barty!...LOL
I have a lot of respect for the fire in Kenin's belly. She gives everything and fights no matter what. Even if she won this match, she could not continue in this tournament. Yet here she is fighting so hard. She's like the Rafa of the WTA.
Could some please explain how an alternate in a round robin event can qualify for the second round of the Wta finals if they play less matches than the others ?
antjobert Ty for your reply. Is that the rule - that alternate can win if they enter before the person they replace has played a match but can’t win after the person they replace has played a match ?
