I could have never imagined another Belgian doing so well so soon after Kim and Justine. Above all, she's humble, a hard worker and a really nice person. Congratulations, Elise!
Svitolina is a counterpuncher and just like all the other counterpunchers, she is at the mercy of a consistent big-hitter. If someone who can overpower her is on, she doesn't stand a chance.
Everyone that thinks she does not have a big weapon in tennis is wrong. before judging her just on highlights let me give you some facts. She has a great serve, she plays very consistent, Her mental game is so strong (match against gavrilova), she is clutch on key moments, she has a very high tennis IQ (she knows/finds the weaknesses from her opponents). I don't know if she can keep this consistency for the whole year but to say she is just an average top 50 player that is just B***S
Wow I'm shocked, I honestly thought this was Svitolina's title to win based on the first four rounds! These dips in level at the halfway stage are becoming worrying now. It's weird because she's SO tough in finals and yet struggles in the Slams.
All credits to Mertens, I hope she wins this one. As the tournament comes to an end, we are having very boring matches. All seeds are falling and favorites go down.
Elle a le jeu pour battre tout le monde. Un bel avenir se profile pour cette jeune femme. J'adore Wozniacki mais je ne serai pas trop déçu si Élise la battre. C'est une joueuse d'immense talent. J'espère que ce sera un bon match entre les deux. Bravo !
I absolutely love Elise so I'm fine with this result but Svitolina really didn't look like she was #6 in the world in this match. You can choke all you want, you can have bad match-ups but you can't look defeated before the last point has ended. She looked like she had already lost after the first set.
This is what happens when two counter punching ball pushers meet, an unexpected result. Svitolina will be kicking herself though losing to a player like Mertens in such gutless fashion.
Someone wrote the other day that Kerber and Ellena are favorites to win this tournament. I told him, my friend , if any of these girls wins this tournament, I am going to change my name to his name. Here we are. Ellna is gone and Kerber will be following next.
Another top seeded player goes out and is thumped by an unseeded player in the quarters. It happened on the men's side as well with Grigor Dimitrov. being bounced from the quarters.
Not to be rude, but I really don’t get how she’s gone this far. She really doesn’t do anything spectacular. Maybe, other girls just haven’t figured her game out yet. No weapons=No slams. Next.
Never watch Mertens match before but based on this highlight only, I didn’t see anything special on her games. Just another top 50 kind of games. And Svitolina plays way below her true level. Perhaps too much confidence or nerve. But obviously easy draw for Wozniacki this time to the final.
alfsfr ali I think it's her technique of her groundstrokes which makes them look soft she hits them quite heavy , she has a great serve, is very fit and agile . You can't define a players game until you know them well....

Bert Segers stfu
Nice person for making money? That is SHIT!!!
india life: see a doctor !
Well Wickmayer and Flipkens also reached semi-final of a GS after Kim and Justine. But here I hope she will be more consistant.
Soon?? Those two have been gone a while now. It's about time someone new stepped up.
Svitolina is a counterpuncher and just like all the other counterpunchers, she is at the mercy of a consistent big-hitter. If someone who can overpower her is on, she doesn't stand a chance.
I watched some of Mertens's matches at the Hopman Cup and I was so impressed! No surprise she's through to the semis here.
Wow Elise plays very clever.....never seen her before.
Impressive... very impressive and unpredicted. Bravo Elise!
It's even harder now to predict the Final's winner... everything is possible! ;)
Mouratoglou said about Mertens she is strong mentally and mature, no affraid of playing under pressure.
Everyone that thinks she does not have a big weapon in tennis is wrong. before judging her just on highlights let me give you some facts.

She is already in the top 20 now,she will win the AO.
Robin Vanlinthout Let the haters talk, Mertens absolutely deserves this semi-final
garoto who? hahahhahaha not even lucky, you're nothing
Robin Vanlinthout spot on!
What a cake walk draw elina svitolina has,, but she failed lol

1 Garoto 2 Mundos she will be something 😋
Go Elise , go !
Svitolina expected that Mertens will just stand doing nothing and letting her win 6-0, 6-0😂😂
Proficiat Elise. Verdiend gewonnen. Veel succes in de halve finale 👌👍
mertens joga muito, as mudanças de ritmo,as variaçoes
Elise wil win evertthing!
Elle a le jeu pour battre tout le monde. Un bel avenir se profile pour cette jeune femme. J'adore Wozniacki mais je ne serai pas trop déçu si Élise la battre. C'est une joueuse d'immense talent. J'espère que ce sera un bon match entre les deux. Bravo !
Beau boulot Elise!
Goo Mertens’ 🥇🏆🇧🇪
Svitolina has arguably the easiest and luckiest side of the draw...aaand she choked.
I mean, Mertens hasn't lost a set yet
Womens draw all easy really anyone can beat anyone. that awful.
Elise Mertens is very talented capable of beating anyone.
I absolutely love Elise so I'm fine with this result but Svitolina really didn't look like she was #6 in the world in this match. You can choke all you want, you can have bad match-ups but you can't look defeated before the last point has ended. She looked like she had already lost after the first set.
GO ELISE!!! 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
Mertens grunt is something else! Is she trying to appetize us men?!
It’s gonna be Halep vs Wozniacki in the finals 😇
Katsutoshi Morinaga More like Keys VS Wozniaki.
Kerber vs wozniaki
At least we all agree with the Wozniacki part. :D Now I have to say Pliskova? Noh, Im going with Keys. :D
I agree halep vs Mertens maiby
much eazy for halep now comon halepp
Mertens is the new Justine Henin ... but taller ,stronger , ... she can win the A.O. no doubt , bravo Elise !
kalalothar Justine was a unique champion and I don't see anybody today in WTA with her special talent.
Riccardo: ok about Justine , but Elise has proven her qualities so far, don't forget that she's only 22 !
Ummm she lost in the first round of Indian wells 😂
what's with the US flag for Wozniacki?
This is what happens when two counter punching ball pushers meet, an unexpected result. Svitolina will be kicking herself though losing to a player like Mertens in such gutless fashion.
This looked so much like a matchfixing match 😂
Must be a big win for Mertens.
She is a humble girl,next game please.....
Svitolina the WTA Zverev...
Elise makes the big cod lose weight
Kerber vs. Merterns to the finals.that is my prediction..
Proficiat elise mertens belgie trots op jouw
Heb 200 euro ingezet op Elize,winst 760 - 200= 560 euro ; TOP
Well, I got that one wrong...
MARTENS REMINDS ME CHRIS EVERT!!
BAGEL,BAGEL.
You can tell Kim trained her.. Mertens in gonna be huge in the future
Свитолина - красивая девушка!
ЮТАР huuuuuh
Ничего, Мертенс как ночная бабочка, все они сделают ‘’сенсацию’’ а потом куда-то исчезают( на примере Остапенко)
Sorry for Svitolina..
why im so hapy... svitolina was so confident ha ha ha comon ELISE go in final and there u will be a eazy meal for halep ha ha ha
Escuela belga la campeona de Hobart, espero q Carolina la detenga
edgar palacios English Plz
¡Quitate allá, gay!
No estoy de acuerdo contigo, Edgar. Carla pudiese detener Elisa, pero Carolina no. La pregunta es ¿si Carla podrá vencer Carolina?
6/0 in 32 min? Elina gave up?
My prediction is good. Next is Carla Suarez Navarro and i'm out.
Someone wrote the other day that Kerber and Ellena are favorites to win this tournament. I told him, my friend , if any of these girls wins this tournament, I am going to change my name to his name. Here we are. Ellna is gone and Kerber will be following next.
Samuel Williams huh
Samuel Williams yes i think you are right and i am german, but Kerber plays not intelligent and variabel, she is only a fighter.
he doesn't, he's very dumb tennis wise(probably generally too)
Elina... bad girl
Another top seeded player goes out and is thumped by an unseeded player in the quarters. It happened on the men's side as well with Grigor Dimitrov. being bounced from the quarters.
wow!!!
Couargeus yup?!
All girls left in the ladies draw are slamless?!?!?! Am i right? Says a lot about ladies players nowadays
Kerber won Australian open in 2016
She will defeat Wozniacky, i put 200eu on Elize
The ones with slams are out already, except Kerber. This says a lot about the newcomers and their hunger for slams.
Yeah i remember kerber won 2 slams in same year.
queen kerber is still here
Disappointing from Svitolina.
Not to be rude, but I really don’t get how she’s gone this far. She really doesn’t do anything spectacular. Maybe, other girls just haven’t figured her game out yet. No weapons=No slams. Next.
Ian Walden stfu
Stephenie Lurry is Completely Overratted and gay. Where’s your argument, boo? Weapons win slams. She has none.
Ian Walden Leave her alone Your dumb
Ian Walden And are you a girl or boy?
Ian Walden u a black girl?
Never watch Mertens match before but based on this highlight only, I didn’t see anything special on her games. Just another top 50 kind of games. And Svitolina plays way below her true level. Perhaps too much confidence or nerve. But obviously easy draw for Wozniacki this time to the final.
alfsfr ali you a girl right?
alfsfr ali I think it's her technique of her groundstrokes which makes them look soft she hits them quite heavy , she has a great serve, is very fit and agile . You can't define a players game until you know them well....
alfsfr ali agree nothing spectacular.. Kinda obvious Elina was not well
Akul Mishra probably yes. Needs to see how she goes after AO.
Errol Anthony hip injury
Everybody I hate is a great player 🙃🙃. Good job to Elise even though I cant stand her.
why do you hate her?
Svitolina is one of the best players in the world but when it comes to win a grand slam s he just can't just like halep
Svitolina Nr 4 seems to be Nr 200, Elise will beat Wozniacky, i put 200 euro as i did on this match,won 760 euro,taxfree .
