Ostapenko could not hold a serv in this match. Errani only break one time. I think that tell story of this match. Italians ROS was really good today

First set was a very close set. Lots of 40-40 games and Paolini hold to 3-2 was the last hold in that set. After that we get 5 break of serv to let the Italians win 6-4. Hsieh with some nice volley winners but the Italians was a little better on baseline and some good returns winners too.

Set 2 start with Italians first hold and then break on 40-40. Next game Errani hold quite easy and then Hsieh/Ostapenko never come back in the match.

The Italians will play Kato/Stollar in the final

 

Still no title for Hsiehpenko

 

Very surprising 2nd set. It just seemed to snowball toward the negative more and more for Ostapenko/Hsieh.

 

Errani still in the running for big titles. Paolini has a lot to answer for.

 

Penko Hsieh dicovering bakery for the first time...
They never even tasted a breadsitck before!

It was a great fight, but winning 5/7 deciding points in the first 12 games made all the difference.

They will face Kato - Stollar tomorrow to defend their title e getting close to #1 since Siniakova-Townsend-Routliffe-Dabrowski has a lot to defend in the next 4 months

Dabrowski is out of Wuhan. Routliffe is playing with Fernandez.
