After her 5: 7, 6: 2, 6: 3 In the high-class duel of two former tournament winners with Sloane Stephens, she had a resting and concentrated in itself. In the secondary finals should not be concluded for a long time.
I really want to play here as well as I can. That's my goal, said Kerber. You are looking forward to every match, you go step by step. Let's see how far I can come here. There are phrases that Kerber has said in their career with numerous heights and depths so or so much more often. And that could also be heard on the way to her triumphs. Kerber likes it when the expectations are not the highest. Because she last stood in the semifinals of Wimbledon and Cincinnati, she is in New York for some as a co-administration. Topfavorites are others.
The starting position for Kerber's axle finals on Sunday has suddenly turned. As expected, a duel had been with title defender Naomi Osaka. Of course, the North Germans had been questioned for their third-round success to their prospects and views for the tricky task against the world ranking third parties. A few hours later, the Grand Slam Tournament for Osaka was surprisingly finished. 7: 5, 6: 7 (2: 7), 4: 6 was the result of the two-time US Open winner against the 18-year-old Canadian Leylah Fernandez, the number 73 of the world rankings. It was the next sporty setback for Osaka. The Japanese, which made publicly made three months ago, that they suffer from depression phases, considers to retire again for a while from the tour.
Kerber's fighter qualities are back
Kerber is now playing against the unknown Fernandez for the move to the quarterfinals. The fact that she is ready for it proved the US Open winner of 2016 against Stephens, the winner of 2017. Your extraordinary fighter qualities are back. It can no longer be unsettled by residues. She plays patiently again, but also aggressively - unlike in the first months of the year.
That was an art piece and world-class tennis, commented on the German Ladies Chef Barbara Rittner Kerber's performance in the TV channel EuroSport. Five times one after the other, the German number one had previously lost against those in the world ranking, but currently in 66 slipped US-American. Kerber then was looking forward to the open Saturday. She will easily train, treat himself and eat well, the Wimbledon winner from 2018 sketched its plan. Just relax and do not do much.
Beckers forecasting is true
Her performances in New York agree with the prognosis of Boris Becker, who had a great deal of her before the prelude. In round one, the world ranking lists-17 freed. From the right of sentence against the unpleasant Ukrainian Dajana Yastremska and claimed a nerve strong in the decisive Tiebreak. In Round two, she did not let her rest from resting that at night she was steady because of the heavy storm on the tennis complex and spent a few hours on a Physio-Liege. Against the Ukrainian Antigina Kalinina she had experienced a violent setback in the French Open with the defeat in Round one.
I hold big pieces on Angie. Your environment is intact again, self-confidence is there, Becker had said. She made a good to very good for an average year and now the chance to play a grand slam final again. The starting point of change was Bad Homburg, when Kerber celebrated a long-awaited title in the double role as a tournament ambassador and player.
