Double break in second set, hopefully closes it out and we go to a third.

Genie breaks to start the 3rd, in full control.

What's hilarious about all this is the second the Australian homer announcers said Genie looked to be in trouble is when she took control of the match. Thanks I suppose.

heh. don't mind these announcers, they've been fair.

ESPN is still talking about Serena so TSN can't take that feed cause they want the entire match.

Oh they've been fine I just find it hilarious this match turned right as they said it to start the 2nd set. She's just dominated since, this is the potential that can make her potentially a #1 player someday.

yup definitely.

The 4 girls I mentioned yesterday. Halep, Stephens, Bouchard and Muguruza will be the future of women's tennis. I think they're all 19-21. There's talk of girls like Robson and Keys too.

(even Azarenka and Radwanska are only 24)

Wow, way to go Genie. After dropping the first set in a tie-breaker, just total domination in taking the next two sets 6-2 6-0. woot!

The interviewer was pretty stupid saying Genie could drink in Australia.

She's from Montreal, she could drink when she was 13.

I fell asleep after the first set, good to see she picked it up in the final two sets.

It's unrealistic. No 19-year old girls actually chop zucchini's.

I honestly see a 15+ grand slam winner in her. And 14,000+ ranking points.

Sharapova looks to be in a bit of trouble, won the first set and then lost the second.

Sharapova is out. The women's draw is falling apart.

whoa!

Haven't watched much of the tourney. How is Serena looking? Does Genie have a shot?
