Stephens S. - Pavlyuchenkova A.

Sloane cares and it's a rare thing. Because this is a major, she has showed up and there is an additional motivation this time because there's a chance of getting to world No.1 with Simo losing final's points. She has won both previous matches vs Pavlyuchenkova and not only beat her in DC final few years ago but also did it in Beijing last fall. And that is something very unusual because Stephens normally plays poorly in Asia. It's obvious that Nastia struggles with Sloane's defensive game and simply doesn't have enough consistency to hit through the American. See it happen again on Sunday.
