Irina seemed to change her tactics in later sets and started targeting the BH exclusively, plus increased the ball height, waiting patiently for the right ball. Congrats!

[@mattfoley4128]

Begu really hit the gym last couple years. Really in shape compared to several years ago. Congrats!!

[@simonpegg1196]

SST's tactic of wearing down her opponent backfired today. Talk about getting a taste of one's own medicine. Congrats I-CB.

[@haajiryabre335]

What the hell is that last rally. So much moonballing. Reminds me of wozniacki and kerber moon ball party at Indian wells.

It's like the whole game. It was a nightmare to watch.

[@floracosma9778]

Congrats Irina! I was happy twice last night 😍😍 .I always rotting for you .Best of luck tonight!❤🇷🇴

[@netgodzilla1]

At first set, Tormo makes Irina bored and makes alot of mistakes. Second and third set, Irina plays Tormo's own game , rally till you get bored and wait for opportunity

The heat is On in Sicily. Humidity makes it very uncomfortable for them. Congrats, Begu.

Great match

[@marianadavid5045]

Bravooo,Irina!

[@zweigackroyd7301]

Begu's vocalization is a lot like Halep's. Seems like good evidence these affectations at least start out as intentional.

[@TheNathanj2009]

They could stop if they wanted. Sorribes Tormo is far worse she sounds like Sara Errani if Errani smoked 2 packs of cigarettes. Horrible. And it can’t be from the effort of hitting the shot all she does is run and push, run and push. She could do that in silence instead - she sounds like the demon fro the exorcist

[@pride726]

No, it isn’t

[@artkha786]

It is a trait of Romanian i guess:-)

@@artkha786 😀 I don't remember Ilie Nastase having a long, sighing grunt that lasted until the ball landed on the other side.

Somebody is not falling for that moon ball, moon ball, moon ball, moon ball, dropshot pattern...

Sara could be more fair play at the net

[@mwoz14222]

2 things: This was the most unbearable match to listen to since it was the battle of the moaners Secondly, what the hell were those rallies? Just moonballing over and over.

[@High_Voltage_Rock]

Contrariamente a lo que se piensa, Sara Horribles Tormo es una muy buena jugadora.

[@andreib4226]

Only high balls, it's like I was watching players outside of top 200. Comparing this to Kontaveit vs Potapova from 2 days ago, this seemed like an amateur game. But anyway, congrats to Begu, she was better overall

[@artkha786]

Amateurs players can't really make good topspin consistently, these women can (of course incomparable with men's). Irina started without much topspin (acc to this highlights) but that didnt work, so she looped her balls. That worked. Clutch!

[@giamiramontes5639]

Nah, these two are more clay court players than kont & pota. Nadal plays high balls.

[@andreib4226]

@@artkha786 you don't know what "seem" means.. of course they are not amateurs, begu could beat both kontaveit and potapova on clay, it's just that for me is so lame to watch players rising that ball to the sky every single shot.

[@rohanpatel7633]

I hope Bronzetti wins.

[@bigrobsydney]

Not a fan of Sara. Her serve is very low powered, and she uses a lot of slice on the backhand. Happy that Irina won.
