Yesterday’s WTA Madrid final confirmed what the last few months have suggested.
Kiki Bertens is top 5 quality on clay. She was 50/1 a few weeks ago for the French Open, she’s now less than half that now.
She looks well capable of upsetting a few of the more notable contenders.

Y, I try and position myself ahead of these to capitalize on the upswing while being exposed to little downside, last night everything just kept aligning over and over
Love listening to the on-court coaching...when its in English! Matic just brought on her female coach..& gave her hell..shes' getting murdered by Svitolina. Went like this: Coach: U must make more of the opportunities.
MARTIC: What opportunities??!!!...what match are you watching?!!! Coach...lamely.. well..those that are there.
MARTIC: She's murdering me out there!!! Coach retires looking crestfallen. I think male coaches are different class for the women.. they are always sooo positive...give good advice..which often is immediately translated into positive action. Also body language. You can always tell how close they are:..Close: A couple of slaps on the outer thigh ..& a c'mon..c'mon as they depart. Not close: A hand slap..or nothing. Love it!! (BTW for anyone who is PC...i am defo NOT!! (Coaches not allowed on in GS..but watch Pat Cash with Coco sometime..he's brilliant with her.)

Y, i traded out and took a small loss after she broke again 1st game of 2nd set, could see by then it was going only one way - and fast!
