Anastasija Sevastova vs Simona Halep • Doha 2018

HALEP!!!❤❤❤

I dont think Monica can beat Caro. But I do think Kerber could. Simo has a great chance against Pliskova to. Its a good match up for Simo. Pliskova always struggles in there matches.

Well played again Simo. Keep this up

Besides. There's so much more to tennis than serving!

Halep will need to beat pliskova after this one to have a shot at the number 1 ranking this week (assuming woz loses in the quarters to Angie/Svitolina). Tough task!

If she wins this. Nastya has been winning more and more games with each of their last 4 encounters, while Halep's serve was pretty bad today.

Hai Simona!

Goochy, I hope you didn't jinx both Pliskova & Halep with that comment.

The points prove otherwise ali.

Nice set Simo

Points are gathered from consistently winning matches. Is she a power house...maybe not. But few women possess monster serves. I suppose it comes down to opinion for some. I find that winning matches gets a player to #1.

Yet another tough draw for Halep from round 1 on....meanwhile Wozniak gets 2 walkovers into the qf.

@atmospherist - Monica should be able to beat Caroline. Thoughts?

Hahaha

Simona is not number 1 material. Period!

Cici v Simona...what a match that could be!

Points doesn't matter to me if she doesn't have the serve and attacking game which is expected from numero one player in the world.

Serve is worse because of the ankle (no practice for 2 weeks). It might cost her the match. :(

She's got this.

Great finish!

You are right Christine. It's a matter of preference and she will never be a number one player in my book

And i didn't say she needs to have a big serve but her serve is very slow and jelena(who was a nobody until then) won the French because of attacking her serve.
Not only that her game at the net needs a lot to be desired and lastly not to forget her mentality.
