There were moments in this match that it was Angie, the kerbernator playing, we felt that nothing could stand in her way - some wonderful crossed court backhards, glorious forehands down the line and powerful smashes from the backline - you know how confident you have to be to hit those! It was a little bit laborious at the beginning of the match, but the moment Errani broke her serve to lead 4-3, Angie upgraded her game and closed it out at 6-2.
“I think it was a tricky match, especially because she was, of course, playing good,” Kerber said in her post-match press conference. “She had a lot of confidence after her matches here already.
“I was just trying to stay in the match and trying to not think about how she was playing. She was playing with a lot of spin. I was just trying to more go with my game.”
She will meet Pliskova in Quart tomorrow. Head to head shows advatage to Angie 6-3.
Pliskova had a little more problems getting rid of the always combative Carla Suarez Navarro in 3 sets. The other quarter on the top part of the draw will oppose Svitolina to Osaka. Svitolina also had to fight really hard against Wang and Osaka defeated Kontaveit. On the bottom draw, Konta tripped and fall to Kasatkina who was more consistant than the Brit and she will met (and should win) Vesnina in Quart, who disposed of Ostapenko (didn't I mentioned it already). Garcia is gonna fight hard again but it is going to be a really interesting match up against Muguruza tomorrow as they met last week and it was a really tight match - my guess can't guess - but i'd say Muguruza just because she is intimidating on a court.
