Ohh Onsy

 

[Red Cat]

Women's final: I really like them both, and am greatly enjoying watching a pair of players who aren't just big hitters battle it out. But I sooooo want Ons Jabeur to win.

As usual, I have missed most of the tournament. Watching now, and yes Ons Jabeur for me too.

 

[May Kasahara]

She looks very unsettled on and off, anyway.

 

[oryx]

Watched Ons this time last week against Andreescu and she managed to up her game after a bad first set.

I like Vondrousova but it would be great if Jabeur won a slam on her third attempt.

 

[Red Cat]

She looks very unsettled on and off, anyway.

She does, she seems very sensitive to the pressure. Anguished.

 

[oryx]

Pleased for Marketa who won it by having the cooler head. Her husband looks about 16

I hope Ons gets another chance. Maybe she can have a good run at the US Open.

Jabeur is going to feel like she blew it today. Vondrousova played a particular game style consistently and for most of the match, who won the games mostly seemed to depend on whether Jabeur was making or missing her winners. Maybe she would have been more comfortable against someone attacking her more? But well done to Vondrousova. She's totally entitled to play like that and set her opponent the challenge of coming out and beating her. The game plan worked.

Amazing considering a year ago she had a plaster cast around her wrist…

 

[Hollis]

Urggh - that was horrible to watch. I'm sure Marketa deserved it. But not nice watching a player bottle it.

Reminded me abit of Novotna v Graf.

 

[magneze]

4-0

 

[Numbers]

Great game, 6-1 is nuts, might seem like Djokovic is tearing him a new one but could easily be even Stevens.

 

[ska invita]

just checked the score...wtf happened?

Mate, watch if you can, there’s some outrageously good tennis going on.

Carlos has just broken D in the 2nd set/game.

 

[pbsmooth]

All the men in the crowd seem to be wearing shirts and jackets. Wimbledon mens final crowd seems very Brexit.

 

[Numbers]

2nd set score wise is how the 1st set was played but score indicated something different.

 

[smmudge]

Commentators very concerned with the countdown clock, much more than the umpire...

 

[belboid]

God, that brat George looks a horrible child.

 

[Numbers]

Game on.

 

[T & P]

Djoko might be the GOAT numbers-wise, but he has no class. Who the fuck questions a let?

 

[oryx]

Djoko looking rattled

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bloody hell. Fuck the royals and fuck the film stars.

 

[belboid]

Bloody hell. Fuck the royals and fuck the film stars.

At least the film stars appear to be watching. And they’re not Cliff Richard.

 

[oryx]

Djok appeared to be moaning about the lack of towels from the ballkids, something that hasn't happened since about March 2020 iirc!

He's complaining that he can't possibly be expected to collect his own towel and serve within 25 seconds.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

wow.

 

[belboid]

The boy is on fire

 

[shifting gears]

Some effort, this, especially after the first set

Bring it home lad

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Worry for Alcaraz. Gave up the set limply.

 

[magneze]

Terrific match!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Injured breaking his racket.
