Karolina looked so tired yesterday, there was joking way she could win today. She needs a good rest.

Kwakspur

another retirement? - the season is taking it's toll - hope Sasha can play later.

ACV

will depend a lot on Sasha's ankle and if he has recovered from the pain/injury he had in the last match.

ACV

Nicely done Sonnay, knew she could win this one. After 6 months out win injury. Straight sets again.
