Funny how draws work. Barty only played paszek 4 days ago!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Barty has won her first round match against Peng 6-3 6-2. Will play Hlavackova in the next round.

 

[matt_897]

Barty's match is on at about 10.30 tonight on Eurosport, it'll be interesting to see how she's playing given how good her results have been.

she is heavy favorite, which doesnt seem right.

think it is 50/50 TBH. Barty has played a lot of matches in recent days.

 

[Alesana]

If Barty and Paszek win their QFs they'll play each other for the third time in 11 days

 

[BobbyMorri]

The first set was one of the most dominant performances i have seen this year.

the next 2 were very tight but Barty got the W. Pliskova is beatable. u just got to attack her and expose her movement and return as many serves back as u can.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Barty is playing well, hope it continues

Read an article about her and she is not that confident of getting a WC for Wimbledon, hopefully she is just being modest.

I know it's only Laura Robson but she was a promising player at one point and I would like to see her challenge the top women's players again. Maybe go past ex-BFF, Bouchard in the rankings.

 

[Hamingja]

If Barty and Paszek win their QFs they'll play each other for the third time in 11 days

I reckon Pasek is a good $3 chance against Puig. Pliskova has the big size advantage and the sort of player that could bully her a bit, good test.

 

[matt_897]

Barty was very unlucky to lose 7-6, 7-6 to Pliskova, she was arguably the better player for a lot of the match
