Maria got a real tough opponent today who was forced to retire in the 2nd set so Maria advanced to the QF.
she was so sweet to her afterwards, it's a sight to see __________________

Aww, I feel so bad for her.
Maria was very sweet and kind. I loved seeing that. __________________

unfortunately, Maria had to retire today during her match against Sabalenka due to a leg injury
hope she can recover by the time AO starts but she'll fall behind the rankings and might not be seeded this way __________________

Obviously a disappointing end for Maria. She did the right thing in retiring from the match. It wasn't worth trying to keep playing through it, especially with the Australian Open around the corner. Hopefully she will be healthy for the Australian Open.

yes, I didn't see why she wanted to go on after that long MTO but she realized it wasn't worth going on further

Good win for Maria. It was a near flawless performance from her, although I must admit that I felt bad for Harriet Dart not winning a game. Still it was a pretty good start to the Australian Open for Maria.

no shame in not winning a game against Maria when she's in top form

soo Maria played beautifully today and didn't waste much time since it was already late night to get through to R3
Wozniacki next sooo that's gonna be a toughie but if she keeps this level up, she's got a good chance __________________

I was very disappointed in the 4th round not because Maria lost, but because of the disgusting behavior the crowd had showed her Maria had a 7-minute bathroom break before set 3 which isn't against any rules and they booed her like a criminal?? and then at the press conference they asked her about the doping scandal again and the reporters were totally disrespectful towards her.
I thought Maria had the match after set 1 and I'm not sure what happened still, and now we won't even find out because they kept asking her irrelevant questions at the presser, it's really shameful. hope we can put this tourney behind us fast and that Maria can come back even stronger in the next weeks. __________________
