Polona Hercog vs. Simona Halep | 2019 Miami Open Third Round | WTA Highlights

[@satyu131089]

Hercog has some wonderful shots. One of the few women who hit slices and inside out forehands authoritatively.

[@TotalTennisGeek]

You don't watch a lot of women's tennis I see. Almost all of this new generation of players (22 and below) use a great deal of variety, including angles, slice (forehands and backhands), drop shots, off-pace, power, deep reset shots, off-pace serves, volleys, drop volleys, tweeners. There is a middle generation of counterpunchers (Halep, Stephens, Svitolina, Suarez Navarro, Cornet, Kerber) between the Williams Sisters and Osaka's generation. But these new girls (in Osaka's generation) are AMAZING!

[@satyu131089]

@@TotalTennisGeek I do watch women's tennis, which is why I make the remark that women's tennis is quite one dimensional for the large part. After Justine Henin retired, the hasn't been a single "wizard" in women's tennis who has had a steady successful career. And please, Kerber is not an example of anything in tennis, certainly not tennis technique.

[@manuelsoto9134]

She needs to turn that backhand into a weapon.

[@satyu131089]

@@manuelsoto9134 yep! She should take off some of the spin and hit through the ball when the time is right. With her willingness to take the ball early, she can do a lot more damage with a flatter backhand.

[@giulianosfichi1507]

Polona played great in the firs two sets. But Simo can be such such a fighter even on a bad day for her. She can be a kind of pit bull, she just won't let go.

[@brahicmorgan8893]

Some players make their opponent play one more ball. Halep makes herself play one more ball, or one more set. I just wish she would go for the winner more often.

[@roscolawrence1223]

really nice handshake, both players smiling is good to see :)

[@Kpucmu1239]

Maybe cause they played doubles together in 2011 Roland Garros.. so they have to know each other

[@filmeseverin]

What a high/huge tennis player is Polona Hercog, literally! Great win, Simona!

[@zenastanescu9587]

Ce zambet frumos are Simona. What a beautiful smile she have😘😘👍👍❤️❤️. Come on Simona!!!!!!!🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

[@kukulroukul4698]

She was really focused today. The tie-breaker she simply didnt feel it passing because of the narrative of the game occupying her mind :) Dats my girl

[@daekyoung_jung]

Happy to see her smile 😙😀

[@cagayandeoro5882]

Yes! proud fan here. good luck to next round 'til the finals Simona.

[@noroshut1082]

Halep is so Nadal-like when winning a point.

[@teotripo]

[@misaelking7935]

Very good

[@Kpucmu1239]

They played doubles in RG 2011

[@martm216]

Simona is a cutie!

[@shpingalet7895]

6:51 where is that crucial amazing killer shot by Halep down the line that made the score 3:0 or smth?? Wtf, wta?!

[@notsohandytim5090]

The difference between Simona and the rest is she hits winners when she needs them, the others hit errors when they need winners.

[@precessionoftheequinoxes3224]

Impressive play by Hercog. Ran out of gas towards the end. Halep definitely not playing her best. Maybe not being able to by her opponent.

[@exinmate]

WTA vs ATP forehand. Hope to see more of Hercog.

[@jordanaus75]

I love Steffi's footwork

[@gforcekaras]

Hercog is amazing! If she had a world class coach she would go very far with her skills! Congrats to Halep though but please stop grunting....

[@minh1197]

i love hercog's play style. seems like this happens to her a lot, strong early performance then some endurance issues?

[@greenpowereco1238]

Eeee Halep, Number One !!!

[@cindyliu4252]

Hercog is amazing

[@Xingqiwu387]

Hercog was hitting with much greater depth on her shots while too many of Halep's were landing near the service line. Halep needs to keep the balls much deeper and to hit out much harder on her shots.

[@gabygothick]

When She was talking to hersefl on The court that was The thing She was saying.she knew that but The power that Hercoc put in her shots was Amazing made it difficult for Halep

[@Real19821]

Halep leads the H2H, 2:1. Hercog to passive in this match. With her style of tennis and coming to net she should be defeating Halep more comfortably.

[@august9392]

whos here after the Cori Gruff game?

[@soevjaanoemar2761]

I think Polona Herloq is Good Players than Simona , but She's not good mentality

[@vioricatodirica4088]

FELICITĂRI SIMONA

[@Ba63828]

Congrats Halep

[@pukulu]

Hercog has a strong forehand. Her backhand is not so dangerous.

[@gamingtonight1526]

I don't think Raducanu is going to have an easy 1st round in Transylvania against Hercog, based on this playing...!

[@outoftime7740]

Halep needs to zip it. She makes way too much noise.. it's not fair to the quiet ones. Fine them.

[@yi1106]

Process ... Process... Process

[@alonsoronda3131]

I dont know how to explain but hercog is the only female which doesnt have the same forehand as the rest. It like she has a more male forehand

[@mugurelzaritchii4272]

Fortza Romaniei

[@sanctuary70]

Simona is such a fighter. What's up w all these women w such ugly tatoos,...did Hercog et al run out of paper?

[@krishnashankar8246]

Halep win by luck and hard work

[@danabelu7522]

What luck, please, just hard work. Luck have you when sitt in your couch.
