Yes she is. I would like to see her take the trophy home. She would deserve it.

making it deep into the 2nd week of a final is a good accomplishment for her.

there's a reason she's under .500 in grand slam play in her career, and didn't make it past the 1st round in 7 of 14 majors played until this year.

that said, this is a dream draw for her. the only remaining players i could see her really struggling mightily against are kuznetsova, sharapova, and bouchard. they are all much better players with bigger weapons off the ground, which is what halep struggles with. those player anywhere near their best will almost always beat somebody with virtually no weapons like halep. if they come out flat and halep plays her usual, consistent ball, she could win, though.

I thought Sloane was a better player today, but she went thru her like a knife in butter on a summer day! I think she is the one to watch this year! Next to the WS, I like the girl.
