Jabeur serving to get into tiebreaker at 5-6, 2nd set!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Poor Jabeur! 0-2 in 3rd set!

 

[spystud]

What a freaking collapse. Sharma serving for the breadstick & the trophy.

 

[elkwood]

Not looking good for Jabeur! Down big time in the 3rd set

 

[elkwood]

Lets see if nerves get Astra and cost her a game or two

 

[spystud]

Well, that was something.

 

[elkwood]

Grats to Astra !! That's her first wta title i believe ?

 

[elkwood]

I didnt get to see the match ? What happened ? Did Jabeur get sick again like in the previous match ?

 

[spystud]

That's her first wta title i believe ?

Indeed.

Funny they mentioned her passing Genie in the rankings.

 

[elkwood]

Aye bumped her up to 120 or so i believe

Saw on twitter someone made a point Jabeur would likely be fasting for Ramadan. Could definitely impact if true.

H.Baptiste / C.McNally good to see that they won the doubles final today !!! Seemed to be a good team up for both

 

[Gizo]

Well done to Sharma !

I didn't really have a strong preference regarding who won this final, and would have been happy with either outcome. From Sharma's perspective after losing a lot of ranking points at Bogota last week and the controversial circumstances that she was a victim of, it was great to see her well and truly putting that behind her and more than making up for it (to put it mildly).

 

[Gizo]

On a side note, and as someone likes pretty useless / random stats / trivia, the 'cosmopolitan' nature of this particular tournament was pretty cool. The 4 semi-finalists came from countries in 4 different continents, and players from countries in the 2 remaining inhabited continents (from the perspective of those of us taught that there are 6 - obviously that varies in different countries around the world) reached the quarter-finals.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Young Sharma becomes a tournament winner! Congrats to her!

What an absolute embarrassment Jabeur is to the other players on tour who put their heart and soul into the game. Lazy, effortless, human.

Stuttgart/Istanbul action.

WTA week of 4/19; Stuttgart 500 & Istanbul 250

Stuttgart is loaded, especially for only a 28-player field. Barty/Halep/Kenin/Svitolina get R1 byes. Sabalenka/Pliskova/Kvitova/Bencic round out the seeds. Petra v. Brady in R1 sucks for both. Draw Istanbul ain't bad for a 250 either, they actually have a full 32...

I like both of these players, was kinda hoping Ons would get a title though. She was suffering a bit health wise during the Kovinic match. Still a delight to watch her play, I think clay favors her style of game. Congrats to Astra though, amazing play by the Australian!
