Clay queen Simo ?❤

Best player in the world on clay ☝️

That’s Simona’s strength - she can blow opponents away - but it’s only 1 break down...?

Cmon Belinda ❤️

As much as I admire the tenacity of Bencic's game it's all SI MO NA for me. I imagine a grueling match with SI MO NA coming out victorious. ??❣

Neither of their best shots are there right now. But simo is just staying there stronger mentally. Wore Bencic down

Halep pls win this tourney and take the No 1 ranking!! So that osaka really settles n play her game!!!! What a disastrous ending to the match vs belinda

#TeamBencic

It's Simona's time now

Bencic won't go away though. That's for sure.

So exciting. If it goes 3, I think Bencic has the edge if she continues this level of play.

I am not sure that's her motivation.

Ouch. Simona, where'd you go? Speaking of which, I gotta go. Gonna have to watch a replay. Hope Simona can regroup after that set. Great performance from Belinda though. Changed it up. Enjoy all!

HALEP I've fallen and I can get up! Wow. Can't wait to see the replay. And a bagel to boot! ❣???? Statement final set!

Come on Belinda..

Simonaaa

Let's go Bencic, beat all these top girls...let them know you are back!!

Another situation where I like both ladies very much, but I have to root for someone. It's a tough one for me, but I want Bencic to win.

3.50 for bencic good odds

Love them both! But rooting for Belinda any time of the day

SI MO NA in complete control. Belinda getting dragged around the court. I so enjoy seeing SI MO NA dominate on the clay. Her fundamentals are solid! Great footwork and defense that is matched by few. Impeccable feel and anticipation.
