It is an easy match to describe: Strykova wasn't consistant but when she was trying too, Kerber was dominating the play, most of the time. Some bad mistakes at the net from the German but it didn't really matter today. Some strong smashes from the back line, just to tell you that Angie is confident. A little hard on herself when she was misssing, even if she was ahead in the score, but she should lossen up as the tournament advances. She get Errani tomorrow.
We can't rely on their head to head, Errani is not to be taken lightly but Angie is much more efficient from the Baseline, so, we should expect some rallies, but the question is how long Angie will wait to hit a winner down the line? She could also make her run from one side of the court to the other, but it is going to be a perfect match to use her upgraded agressive play.
On the other matches, lucky loser Wang did make the most of it and defeat Kiki Berten. Stosur started strong but nothing she could really do after Kontaveit decided to play. The always regular Navarro discarded qualifier Zhuk and Bellis continues to impress with a win over AO semi-finalist Mertens. In the last match of the day, Garcia keep going on and get rid of Safarova in 2 sets.
Angie is off tomorrow, but several great matches to follow, and there is YouTube live Stream for Dubai in HD even. Awesome!
