Yah! Watson win 6-3 6-4 in not much more than an hour - nice early finish. Pretty comfortable really. Think that might have been the first time I've seen Marino and I wasn't particularly impressed. First WTA semi final since Hobart and a decent opportunity with Parmentier up next - certainly more winnable on paper than Mertens earlier in the year.
Kenin-Pegula underway now. On serve at 3-2 Pegula.
Not sure who i want to win that one. Normally I'd want Kenin, but I think Pegula would be a more winnable match should Heather reach the final, but then again I wouldn't really want a potential Pegula-Parmentier final.
Parmentier has spent an awful lot of time over the years in the top 100. Is it maybe that she plays to a consistent level so consistently gets at least decent results if not having a great top level?
I see that when it comes to Slams she has in total only 4 times reached the L32 stage and in only one of these the L16 ( RG 2014 ).
Maybe a good measure of where Heather's game is at at the moment.
