2021 AO Women's Final: [22] Jennifer Brady (USA) vs. [3] Naomi Osaka (JPN)

[Crazy Finn]

Osaka with a fierce fh

Osaka doesn’t have to crank it up to 10 to get get power. I think Brady has to go a bit higher to get the same pace. Sometimes a bit more error prone when you do that.

Brady hanging on with a 40% 1st serve because Osaka is only a bit higher.

 

[Crazy Finn]

The player who gets their first serve cooking will have a big advantage.

 

[Crazy Finn]

...and there goes the feed. Oh well....

 

[romeo8880]

That’s the Brady I know

What an absolute capitulation by Coinflip.

Osaka breaks to win first set 6-4.

 

[Hood_Man]

Well that was disappointing. Hopefully Brady gets over it quickly.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Just logged in to see those last two points,,,,,,,,

 

[junior74]

Ouch. Poor ending from Brady after such a good set from her.

 

[FakeEmpire]

Uh, that was a big mistake to lose the set. Nerves showing there. There was little to do against that ball right in the line (even though she overcooked it), but she could've done so much more in that last point... Osaka takes the first.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

how to ruin the entire match with one error rofl. sad!

 

[romeo8880]

Finish her quickly

Brady obviously has the form to win this match just carry on as normal and don't do that s**t again.

 

[Enceladus]

Osaka-Brady 6:4, 1:0
I expected Brady to hit FH on the net at Osaka's SP.

 

[Oval_Solid]

should have hit a drop shot

 

[abmk]

Costly, costly miss that by Brady on SP

Osaka holds to start the 2nd

 

[Sysyphus]

Brady might have the most 'modern' forehand on tour

 

[Crazy Finn]

Brady obviously has the form to win this match just carry on as normal and don't do that s**t again.

It’s much easier to have good form against someone that isn’t Osaka.

 

[abmk]

Stunning cc Bh from osaka

 

[Enceladus]

Naomi hit great BH cross winner and has two BPs!

 

[romeo8880]

Should be Barty vs Osaka

 

[Krish0608]

Brady gone AWOL

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Osaka on fire

 

[Crazy Finn]

Should be Barty vs Osaka

Could have been interesting, as well. I’m not fully convinced on Barty, but it might have been fun. I think they played in China in 2019.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Big come on from Osaka

 

[abmk]

5 games in a row for Osaka. Brady needs to stop the bleeding now or this is over.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

This is what happens when you're not playing the Super Bowl

 

[Crazy Finn]

Brady gone AWOL

That’s happened before. She better hurry back before it’s over.

 

[Crazy Finn]

Might be a good time to serve well...

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Double break points for Osaka. Getting away from Brady now

 

[-NN-]

2 virtual mps

 

[abmk]

Osaka pace+depth too much for Brady. 2 BPs

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Double break. Osaka serving for 5-0

 

[FakeEmpire]

Yeah, this unraveled fast. Brady's so tight now, with so many UFE.

 

[abmk]

Poor fh from Brady and she's done imo

 

[-NN-]

I'm waiting for the commentators to tell us that "Brady is in real trouble now."

 

[Oval_Solid]

whats wrong with her forehand?
too much jumping?

 

[Crazy Finn]

I remember Osaka was like this - up and down, brilliant and then awol - four years ago.

Ah ah. Those words were already spoken by the Portuguese Eurosport announcers.

We don't have time to post, match already over just 1 hour in.

 

[abmk]

Osaka with I/o bh winner

 

[Crazy Finn]

I care! I like WTA! I watched way more WTA than ATP back in 2019.

It's an outrage that they're paid the same for LESS work and LESS viewing figures than the men.

Would have gotten more attention if it was Barty instead of Brady

Thing is though - as far as I'm aware, the tennis forum with by far the highest traffic is the main WTA forum which is I guess the sister site to the main men's tennis forum (which isn't this forum).


But yeh as far as this forum goes, not much interest in the women's game.

 

[Enceladus]

Brady hit great FH cross winner!

 

[PrinceMoron]

another 24 of those please

 

[Krish0608]

Come on Brady! Break here and act least make it a bit interesting.

Mostly Bc any sensible person knows Brady has no chance of winning
