I thought Osaka had entered this?

Unless she w/d, she will play as she got a wildcard

Yes, she has accepted a wc. Good

nice draw for Osaka.. hard one for Sloane... Pliskova is better on clay than people think.. she is anyway slow on her feet and she is used to the surface..

well,highlights dont tell you much but Osaka appeared to get frustrated as balls kept coming back, and she doesnt move that well anway on clay - she seemed a bit uncertain, and off-balance, not so much slow to the ball.. probably needs more matches.. cant see why she cant do well on clay but she doesnt.that is a fact.

Sloane moving quietly into the semis ..I never know what to expect from her on clay...she is clearly a great player and has done well sometimes, on clay ...but has inexplicable losses too..
Her movement and balance on clay is exceptional...her only problem is she gets too passive, especially when she is ahead...
