Yes, she started strong, but we all know that Caroline never gives up so in front most of the set, Angie's serve finally got broken and Caro won the first set 7-6 with a tie-break in which she played better than Angie. In the second set, the German dared to go for her shots which provocked some errors from the Dane, she leveled the match 1 set all. She takes the early lead in the third but couldn't hold after, Caroline took the mental advantage and finaly capitalized when it matter the most. You probably read in Angie's physical behavior the same thing than me - a little 2017 hipccup here, but it isn't something that goes away in a day so, some works still need to be done to complete her return to the top, but top 10 it is and she'll continue to improve her mental state till RG because there were some points in the match that i really liked what I was seeing.
Injuries kinda put some shadows on the rest of the day. Kvitova didn't really have to fight against Julia as she had to retire in the second set due to an hip injury. As for Halep, when we thought it was all okay, she retired after her win against Bellis propulsing Muguruza in Final Sunday.
You obviously noted that i am trying to stay objective, which is the key to be able to analyze a match-up or a draw and I love guessing who might win and it is not always our favorites, so i am very eager to see the match between Kvitova and Wozniacki tomorrow and it's on tv in my country so nice to have it on the big screen. Who's gonna win? I'd say advantage to Caroline as she had to fight to win today, and her mental state might help her overcome Petra's power. If I thought Angie's would, Caroline certainly can but i won't be surprised if it's the contrary!
