2021 Wimbledon Women's Final - [1; AUS] Ashleigh Barty vs. [8; CZE] Karolina Pliskova

[abmk]

Barty holds her nerves and her serve. 5-2.
A game away from the Wimbledon championship.

 

[Hitman]

Pliskova is the female Berdych and moves just as badly

Noticed that also.

1 Premier tournament?

Sabalenka won Premier 5 Wuhan twice, Premier 5 Qatar once and WTA 1000 Madrid in May. Has 10 titles in her career. Osaka meanwhile has 7, four of which are slams of course.

Sorry I meant premier mandatory. Not sure how they’re different

 

[-NN-]

Barty a game away away

Far more positive tennis. Wanting to take the glory now.

 

[Sudacafan]

Barty should take risks to break next Pliskova serve to avoid serving for championship again.

 

[Russeljones]

Barty's CC FH is giving her so many cheap points. I am amazed Pliskova isn't looking for avenues to stay on Barty's BH side.

 

[Hitman]

What a point!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

OH YOU CAN'T DENY THE QUALITY OF THIS

Barty should take risks to break next Pliskova serve to avoid serving for championship again.

She should hit return winners on all her receiving points going forward in her career.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

For me this is a match that Pliskova lost more than Barty has won because Pliskova made really dumb mistakes on important points too many times. That's on her more than any pressure Barty has been putting on her imo.

Of course if for some strange reason she turns this around, never mind!

 

[abmk]

nice rally that!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

There’s been a few WTA #1’s that never won a slam.

Safina one of my fav of all time

 

[Lozo1016]

Barty should just get the break. Idk if I trust her nerves today.

 

[reaper]

Pliskova is the female Berdych and moves just as badly

She's the modern day Helena Sukova.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

YES!

What a return and then what a winner!

15-15.

3 points away.

OH YOU CAN'T DENY THE QUALITY OF THIS

Very low quality match by Pliskova

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Oh this is just top notch tennis and you can't deny it.

Wow.

What a point there for KP for 30-15.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Come on Pliskova, hold your serve! Make Barty serve for the match!

 

[Realfan]

That’s what Pliskova needs to do more often - follow her shots to the net. She’s been too passive at critical moments in this match.

 

[Russeljones]

Too little too late? We'll take it

 

[abmk]

well constructed point by Barty, finishing off with an OH winner.
nice next point. Pliskova with a BH overhead.
30-15.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Surprised Barty has had more double faults.

 

[abmk]

Come on Pliskova. Not DF at this juncture.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Very low quality match by Pliskova

It's hard to sympathize with you as a poster, you're just a joke at this point with these posts after a fantastic final with so many twists.

 

[romeo8880]

Well Barty should’ve won in straights but it was never in doubt she would win the third with how poorly Pliskova has played any big point

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Come on Pliskova, win this point!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Two points away for AB!

 

[bertrevert]

Match on Ash racquet now

 

[Hitman]

Pliskova certainly looks like she is getting more support out there.

 

[Russeljones]

Well played, Pliskova.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

KP got skills but she still don't know how quite to make em gel.

 

[jm1980]

Here we go again

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Do or die time! Barty has to serve out the match for the win!

 

[Sudacafan]

The moment of truth now. Barty serves for championship again.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

WOW! Pliskova guessed correctly for the return and Barty dove at that lob with all her life and go to it!

15-0!

 

[abmk]

ace from Pliskova to close out the game.
Barty to serve for the championship at 5-3.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

KP holds.....can Ash Barty serve it out this time?

 

[Deleted member 771911]

KP can come out of this her head held high.

 

[James P]

Any more drama in this set to be had?? Let's see if Barty can close this one out.

 

[gadge]

Barty will serve it out

 

[romeo8880]

It's hard to sympathize with you as a poster, you're just a joke at this point with these posts after a fantastic final with so many twists.

You’re just biased Bc you’re a Barty fan lol. This has been low quality. Barty has like 7 double faults for god sakes

 

[AM75]

Oh this is just top notch tennis and you can't deny it.

Wow.

What a point there for KP for 30-15.

If this is top notch quality tennis, then Zverev vs Thiem was the best match in tennis history.

Both are so bad it's unwatchable.

 

[Russeljones]

Why? So sad to watch.

 

[romeo8880]

If this is top notch quality tennis, then Zverev vs Thiem was the best match in tennis history.

Thank youuuuu!!!!!

 

[Sudacafan]

Seems Barty is just waiting for Pliskova’s errors.

 

[-NN-]

A match going 3 sets doesn't make it amazing lol.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

FOR **** SAKES BARTY

YOU BLEW IT

BP

 

[Russeljones]

Holy ....

 

[bertrevert]

Ash struggling

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Break point for Pliskova!!!
