2019 WTA French Open - General Discussion

[D-Lite]

Another 5-3 lead, for the 2nd straight set for Konta. For me, just evidence that she is the player in better form - it has been and will be her mentality which costs her this match if she does flunk it again.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

****. Why are you doing this to me Ash.

Break to Anisimova

 

[Legend of Borg]

i haven't felt this hyped watching WTA semis in a while

 

[abmk]

Amanda breaks. 2-1.

 

[icedevil0289]

and anisimova breaks but....given how the 2nd set went idek what that really means

 

[D-Lite]

konta has to close the set on return

I'm only checking live score, but somehow Konta has broken multiple times, and then other times Vondrousova is holding comfortably, often to love it seems.

 

[TripleATeam]

We'll see what this means...

 

[icedevil0289]

unfortunate for barty since she double faulted twice

 

[Sysyphus]

Ice cold with the dropper-pass combo

Not ice cold from Barty with the double-double combo

 

[abmk]

and anisimova breaks but....given how the 2nd set went idek what that really means

it means Ash lost that game. that's it.
nothing more to read into it.

 

[icedevil0289]

lololol

 

[abmk]

amazing play from Ash in this game so far. 0-40 Amanda.

 

[icedevil0289]

it means Ash lost that game. that's it.
nothing more to read into it.

well barty about to break back so i guess that is what i was referring to. granted anyone can break back at any time ofc

 

[abmk]

2 BPs saved by Amanda. 3rd one pending.

 

[Fed881981]

Barty won 23 of the first 27 points, and lost the set.

Anisimova won 17 points in a row from 2-4 down in the first set tie break. Going 3-0 up in the second set.

Since then, Barty has won 24 of the last 30 points to win the second set 6-3.

This match redefines the term "momentum shifts."

It also redefines the terms “self destructing” and “being a teenager”.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Ash blows triple break points.

 

[-NN-]

well barty about to break back so i guess that is what i was referring to. granted anyone can break back at any time ofc

Not so fast!

 

[icedevil0289]

and a 4th bp. it honestly seems like if barty can keep her nerves she wins

 

[Aussie Darcy]

STUNNING WINNER! Ash breaks back

 

[helixx]

konta is ****ed

 

[icedevil0289]

Not so fast!

she breaks to even it 2-2

 

[abmk]

what a get from Ash to break.
Amanda shouldn't have missed the BH in the point before though.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Anisimova looked like she’s crying at that deuce point?

 

[Terenigma]

Konta trying to serve for the set:

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

This time Konta does choke @ark_28 but terrible condition for serving judge by the wind on TV.

 

[-NN-]

Alright alright there's the break.


Did you guys see Anisimova's reaction to going 40-A?? It was ... well, bizarre. Pulling a crying face (not sure if crying).

 

[Sysyphus]

Immense counter from Barty!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Umpire halting play for a little bit due to wind. Anisimova unhappy saying why couldn’t we have done that two points ago.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Oh yeah of course, it's the home girl. No wonder your heart is pounding.

Yup. She’s my favourite player, male or female so this is destroying my heart.

 

[D-Lite]

This time Konta does choke @ark_28 but terrible condition for serving judge by the wind on TV.

Vondrousova has to serve too... No excuses. She's choked 2 times up 5-3. This is her last chance to sort it out or Vondrousova will be in the final.

 

[icedevil0289]

Alright alright there's the break.


Did you guys see Anisimova's reaction to going 40-A?? It was ... well, bizarre. Pulling a crying face (not sure if crying).

idk if she was crying or just being emotional about to cry/scream

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

One game away for Marketa Vondrousova for final GS.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Barty holds. Anisimova is looking upset. Hope Ash continues this run!!

 

[D-Lite]

Again, Vondrousova holding to love, up 6-5 in the 2nd now. Konta to serve to stay in the tournament.

 

[icedevil0289]

rofl did konta get broken again serving for the set....i love it

 

[Steve0904]

Alright alright there's the break.


Did you guys see Anisimova's reaction to going 40-A?? It was ... well, bizarre. Pulling a crying face (not sure if crying).

Yeah, she looked on the verge of a breakdown there.

 

[Sysyphus]

AA looks physically and emotionally spent at this point, with her game unraveling.

This match, and a place in the French Open final, is in Ash Barty's palm.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Vondrousova has to serve too... No excuses. She's choked 2 times up 5-3. This is her last chance to sort it out or Vondrousova will be in the final.

I'm Marketa's supporter so I'm not complaining. This is her 3rd time on last 4 sets that she level from a break in order to stay in the set.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Anisimova missed the sitter!! 0-30

 

[-NN-]

rofl did konta get broken again serving for the set....i love it

Icona Pop.

 

[icedevil0289]

yeah this doesnt look to good for amanda

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Alright alright there's the break.


Did you guys see Anisimova's reaction to going 40-A?? It was ... well, bizarre. Pulling a crying face (not sure if crying).

Like Naomi cried vs Keys at USO.

 

[Steve0904]

Konta to serve first in the 3rd.

 

[Fed881981]

This match, and a place in the French Open final, is in Ash Barty's palm.

It shouldn't be. She is not that good. I would say that, based on what we saw today, it all depends on how Amanda does. I mean, she was up 7-6, 3-0 before stop playing!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Ash breaks!! YOU BEAUTY!

 

[Steve0904]

It shouldn't be. She is not that good. I would say that, based on what we saw today, it all depends on how Amanda does. I mean, she was up 7-6, 3-0 before stop playing!

Barty was up 5-0 and had SP in that first set.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

It shouldn't be. She is not that good. I would say that, based on what we saw today, it all depends on how Amanda does. I mean, she was up 7-6, 3-0 before stop playing!

Lol and Ash was up 5-0 40-15 before she stopped playing well. No need to be rude to Ash.

 

[abmk]

Amanda needs to compose herself ASAP.

 

[icedevil0289]

Amanda needs to compose herself ASAP.

mte

 

[abmk]

bad choice of shot there. should've gone for the CC passing shot.
