Why do people say Kerber is boring? Her game is very interesting. She has one of the best defense of all time, and has the ability to hit winners from anywhere on the court. Iga showed why she's the number one. She's very deserving of that rank, and barring any serious injuries, she's on course for a very impressive career even though her achievements are impressive at the moment.

[@leonidasse]

I don’t find it boring. Love that lefty forehand down the line. Wozniacki’s game is boring, not that of Kerber.

[@josedubon6378]

Iga was tested today, Kerber put up a great fight specially in the first set when she saved 7 set points but once again, Iga showing why she is up there in the rankings, great match!

[@IrfanZuberi1980]

That first set from Angelique was a blast from the past... that she was able to keep it that tight and hang with Iga for nearly an hour of intense play is legendary stuff! Iga's movement, pace and variety is just a delight to watch! 🙂

[@sehercemreaytekin6829]

A bit messy first set for Iga, but glad she came through. Kerber has a high rally tolerance and she made Iga work for points. I wonder whether Iga will be too tired when RG rolls around. She has become a clutch player for a while now, maybe this will carry her through weeks. But going deep in tournaments frequently will tire her out. We will wait and see, i hope she can adjust and close out the clay season with a bang!
