RG - Angie stopped in quart

It is always tougher writing about Angelique's defeat. No matter the event, we would like to see our favorite wins, at all time but Angie is wiser then us all, knowing that she can learn from every match, win or lose.

She started strong, very strong, even taking the lead 4-0, but all of a sudden, Halep woke up and then the battle was on.  Watching the match, i didn't how she would managed, but i knew Angie will win the first set, and she did, with a well battled tie breaker.

The fight was more equal in the second set, but no matter what people things, it is Angie forehand that made the difference.  Since the beginning of the tournament, it had been a weapon, but it also been a little inconsistant, and this match, it cost a bunch. Halep managed to win the important in this match, and she finally turned things around to beat Angie.

It is the first mach of the year that Angie is losing after winning the first set, she was so close and overall, this tournament allowed the German to find her ground on a surface she hadn't been really in love with for the past couple of year and the lesson learn will certainly improve her game in other surface as well.

And there is so little missing to her game to beat everybody else.  When that forehand will find her consistance back, I am not sure no one will be able to stop her.

You are so close Angie, keep on believe, we do!
