'One of the best performances'published at 14:06 British Summer Time 29 June 2019
Pliskova 6-1 6-4 Kerber
Sam Smith
Former British number one on BBC TVI think that's one of the best performances we've seen on this court.
It was such an intelligent display. The way Pliskova mixed up her serving, Kerber didn't know which way to go and was standing so far back.
And there was clear thinking on her return of Kerber's serve, she changed the pace of her shots and gave Kerber constant problems to solve.
'Pliskova just too good'published at 14:05 British Summer Time 29 June 2019

Former British number one on BBC TVPliskova was too good but the first few games were crucial because Kerber allowed Pliskova to impose herself.
Kerber never gave up but came up against an opponent who was just too good on the day.

Former British number one on BBC TV at EastbournePliskova has played with fire in this set because you cannot take chances against a good player like Kerber.
You have to finish them off or they will come back and make you pay for it.
