hello RG, Wimbledon and US Open organizing committees...you see this highlight? this how it is done...

Antonio Padilla Jr. This is why the #AusOpen stays winning with the people! 😍😍

[@HarrySmart]

Antonio Padilla Jr. it will be cuz it’s rank 1 vs rank 2

[@MrCalmwaters112]

AO always has the best highlights. US open is the worst

[@pictures4urears]

Kabir K Completely agree. Rubbish highlights from all the others.

[@hussainsathalia8839]

US open even didn't upload any highlights last year!

[@garebfeumba5407]

When I think that Halep was about to win and Kerber just produced her best and when it was Kerber's time Halep did the same. They played amazingly. Congratulations Simona Halep.

[@KingJohnson1985]

this match could have went either way...and it was highlight packed...all those long and intese rallies

[@king1odin760]

This match is still the best in WTA's history

[@martinvondra6055]

Match of the tournament, maybe of the year. Incredible fighting spirit. Love both.

[@aliciakihouass4022]

it is for this kind of match that the public proudly pays the ticket to watch! congratulations to both players and thanks for this pleasant moment ... wishing that the final is as eventful as this match.

[@shmishash]

And yet the AO Man's Finals tickets cost twice more than the Woman's Finals. Speaking of the price money' equality.

[@17sunnyhour]

@Alicia Kihouass Well, Kerber did already think she had one of her hands on the trophy! I don't think she expected little Simona to be so powerful.

[@jeffreykaufmann2867]

Definitely more entertaining then watching Serena blast unreturnable serves for 90 minutes.

[@spencerrosant5794]

Jeffrey Kaufmann I’m a Serena fan but this made me laugh so hard not gonna lie

[@kongterry2653]

Oh wow, 15 minutes! That’s brilliant. Certainly deserved it. Such a high quality match, watched it from the beginning, two fighters, lots of great points. Probably gonna be the match of the year. And the third set, just wow!! Congrats Simo! And all credits to Angie too.

[@christinej.4404]

15 minutes of highlights. Now this is a video. Let's hope Wimbledon and RG follow the example. And I'm so proud of Halep, both played so well, it's probably my favorite match of the AO so far.

[@safiazzZ]

What a match! I still come back to this. Thank you AO for these highlights.

[@TheTypek81]

These highlights are the proof that AO is the best gs

[@dinkydoodle8325]

it's just a hard court lol

[@dinkydoodle8325]

@Ferdous Alam Yes I know thats why I said ''Imagine''

[@syd_seiko]

careful and best selection of shots.. fair and accurate representation of the match. Bravo AO. you won my heart.

[@Forlorn.]

Great job AO! You guys know how to put a highlight reel together! Putting all the other tournaments to shame!

[@Angibbabee]

This is their first time getting it right this whole tournament. The other day I watched a “highlight” of a match and it was 3 mins long and only showed match point and then the players walking towards their towels and then Leaving...

[@adriana8159]

Epic! High quality tennis. Both players are winners in this match, just one will play the final. Go for it this time Simo!

[@napoleonbonaparte1260]

[@chawlamayank91]

Best match of the tournament.....regardless of any category.....hats-off to these two players

I thought that was Djokovic vs Chung tbh

[@saeeduzzamanmalik182]

No doubt about thatBro

@Shinobu Tsurubushi I know I was just saying.

[@ricobhi]

I loved watching Angie in this tournament, and really thought, before the match, that she would be in the finals. I'm gutted that she missed those two match points. Heartbreaking.

[@salimuntari677]

8:59Surely the best tennis rally (both in women's and men's tennis) I've ever witnessed, given the hot conditions of play, too. No words to describe, hence the standing ovations from the fans on this point!

[@TheKevinbanks15]

50 winners and 6 aces for Simona. I like this aggressive play.

[@saltnugget]

we barely see this kind of war in WTA nowadays.

[@jomylaciapag6488]

I love these two superb players! No wonder they won grand slams!

[@codyahurley]

MATCH OF THE YEAR. Unbelievable from both players. I love Halep's new aggression on her groundstrokes. An unreal defensive player who has worked incredibly hard to become number one in the world. I hope she brings home the title on Saturday!

[@amandacerny8145]

@@magnetmac1 and they were right. It was the match of the year

[@magnetmac1]

@@amandacerny8145 Actually WTA named Halep vs Sloane in Montreal final as the match of the year.

[@amandacerny8145]

@@magnetmac1 and wta was wrong. Sloane vs Halep lacked the intensity factor of this match. And WTA can only rank matches that’s in its boundaries, meaning that it can’t say this match is the best match of 2018 when they don’t have rights to show it. The ranked match was WTA matches only

[@magnetmac1]

@@amandacerny8145 Roger Cup (in Montreal) is a WTA 1000 level event obviously sanctioned by WTA. It is one of the highest level tournaments behind the Slams. I'm not sure how you concluded that this doesn't give WTA the absolute exclusive right to critic and rank any of its matches.

Wow....I think it is the best semifinal in the last ten years . congratulations to Halep .hard luck for kerber

[@magnetmac1]

Too evenly talented players always produce an entertain tennis match, but if one is better and dominant then it wouldn't be so entertaining. I can give you a name of a female dominant tennis player but I'm sure you already know.

[@VKDiaries]

This is by far the best match of the tournament. Crazy Tennis.

Yes sadly there can only be one victor. Kerber fought hard. Good to see Halep become stronger mentally. She didn't cave in and never gave up. Well done to both of them,

[@saeeduzzamanmalik182]

What a match, never seem before like this. Absolutely splendid and fantastic. Both played probably BEST TENNIS anyone can play. Nothing better they can show.

[@D_SQ]

You know I thought Lauren Davis - Halep was going to be the outright MOTT. Then Su-Wei and Kerber played like they did. Then Djokovic and Chung played the match they did. And now this. I want to take a moment to celebrate 2018 versions of Kerber and Halep (Halep really from 2017), players about whom someone aptly remarked "We don't deserve." Great Tournament. I'm ecstatic about tennis this year!

[@Aleshhasd]

Wow, that'´s how you have to make the Highlights. Congratulations AO. You are the best tournament ever

[@peterpiperspickles5810]

Except only 3 sets versus 5, yet they petitioned and won that they deserve the same prize money. Forget being politically correct, they don't deserve as much as the men doing a little more than half the work.

In my opinion Roland Garros is the worst with highlights, you don't understand anything from their highlights, for this kind of match and fight it should be an extended highlights.

[@armstrongtixid6873]

@@lentilovski They have extended highlights 24 minutes. These are normal highlights(according to AO) 15 MINUTES. Roland Garros is like 15 SECONDS.

[@tennislvr7845]

As a massive Kerber fan i have to say Halep played out of this world! Probably one of her best matches hitting 50 winners! It will be interesting to see if she will still have the stamina in the final against Wozniacki because there's no doubt that this match exhausted her immensely!!! But def Team Halep now for the final!!!

[@tennislvr7845]

OMG, i was so right! Poor Simona!

after the match she arrived at the hospital dehydrated. She was close to winning the 2nd marathon

[@BlizzyFoxTF]

TL;DR One of the best matches of the decade somehow probably won't come out on top in the best 2018 matches considering how strong a year it has been for WTA, but both players had match points at different points of the third set, and that is incredible. Reminiscent of the great Federer Safin 2005 AO semis match. This goes down in history.

[@andreydmitrenko8321]

[@stevensong6909]

You can see why halep is number 1. She has so much conditioning and power in her shots. She plays so aggressive but can still keep her consistency. Down 2 match points and that come back was next level. Good job.

[@giulianosfichi1507]

Grande Simo! She wasted two matchpoints, then she saved two. Angie had a terrible start, then she played like she used to do in her glory days. What a crazy match... In the end, Simo was too good.
