Simona Halep vs Nicole Gibbs • US Open 2019

Seems Nicole has really upped her game nicely. Impressive. Living the dream and the moment.

Nice 1st round performance.

Simona always makes life difficult for herself early on in a major.

Nicole did great.
Nice to see her fit & healthy.

SIMONA FOR THE TITLE

Nicole definitely putting up the good fight. These two women are the same size.

Halep just hates Flushing Meadows I think rip

Nice, I haven’t been as interested in a Gibb since the BeeGees were singing “staying alive, stayin alive, ah ah, stayin alive......”
?

Simona is not done with this set yet!

No where near done.

@kwakspar, I am in general a great admirer of your judgements on the whole, but do object to you being proud of something you do not own or have influence over - i.e miss Halep ?
IMAO Bee Gees daughter to win this ☝️ ?

She can't lose this.

I can't imagine a universe where Simona doesn't pull it out of the hat in the last.

If she's heard about Nicole heartwarming survival story that could be clouding her concentration

I am proud of her too. Her Wimbledon performance was near perfect!

Hey tais....who is going to win?

Or have you left the building?

? cool

Good to see Gibbs make it to the main draw and win a game off halep,I have my eyes on her along time now.

Good for Gibbs. So pleased she managed to perform so well, she deserved that second set. Hopefully it’s onwards and upwards for her.

TT garbage
Mladenovic is playing Halep and Kerber in the first round
Hahaha

If Simona is relaxed & prepared watch out.

I always thought her 1st major would come on hard courts.

So don't be suprised these two weeks if........

Simona got beaten by kerber I don't think so win the title Bianca beat kerber twice Bianca is the big contender in this tournament

I would like to see Simona win a hard court Slam. That would be a nice plume in her bonnet. What she did at Wimbledon was brilliant. Still can't believe she finished that match with only 3 UEs.

Happy Gibbs is cancer free.

Nicole, give her hell. So nice to see her back after being out to recover from cancer.

It doesn't have to be hell, but a good match will do nicely. Simona needs to be sharp.

Go simoonaaa

Simona's court coverage is something to be envied. Both defensively and offensively.

Simona is doing a Naomi in reverse

She needs to just relax & play within herself

She was trying way too hard.

Snatching at shots.

She's starting to play within herself now

Why is Simona not playing smart on her serve

Cause her serve isn't great.

And she's thrown in the towel on this set I think.
