2023 Wimbledon - Women's Singles Discussion

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Saba blinks first with DF.
Ons looks like a silent assassin.

 

[Terenigma]

HOW good was that forehand from Jabeur!!

 

[ibbi]

Sabs redirects it at will so beautifully, but what a FHDTL. Damn.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

WOW spectacular DTL FH by ONS

 

[ultimathule]

Shot of the match

 

[tudwell]

Awesome freaking set of tennis

 

[gadge]

Shot of the match!!!

 

[Kralingen]

actually gasped at that FH from Jabeur there.

Unreal

Where's the clowns who say that women's tennis isn't fun to watch?

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Saba/Ons trying to make up for the previous SF

 

[Benf15harp]

Ons always adjusting the grapes. Lmao

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Lol that baseline lineswoman has eagle eyes
Get her into Top Gun training camp

 

[Benf15harp]

lfg mother Russia and end wokeness

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Saba takes the 1st set with relentless power tennis

 

[ibbi]

If Ons can rebound from losing a tight first set breaker for a second day in a row it will be seriously epic.

 

[Zetty]

Come oooooon Sabs

 

[Mr.Lob]

Jabs feeling the pressure. Loses 1st set in tiebreaker

 

[Cortana]

4:2 then 5:7, what?

 

[TheNachoMan]

lfg mother Russia and end wokeness

Sabalenka is from Belarus, my bro. And I don’t see what that has to do with anything.

 

[bluetrain4]

Tight.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Insane set, such fine margins, absolutely nuts !

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Med and Saba to win W2023 and boycott the ceremony

 

[TheNachoMan]

Med and Saba to win W2023 and boycott the ceremony

I hope they get really petty in their speeches..lol

 

[Kralingen]

You could put that set down to the Jabeur FH that went long at 4-5, which was called out by approximately a hair.

Wow. I think Sabalenka got this now but Ons has something special brewing this tournament, hope she doesn't go down without a fight.

 

[ScottleeSV]

Ons threw that away. Her arms just went to jelly from 4-2 up, couldn't put a ball in court.

Define wokeness for us please.

A Key New Ally For Russia That Makes The West Cringe: Tunisia

Tunis and Moscow have been increasingly close — at the cost of relations with the West, which had once looked to Tunisia as a model of democracy. The two countries are brought together by Kremlin's efforts to woo African countries, but also a natural alliance of its strongman Presidents Putin...

[-NN-]

Jabeur collapsed under the immense pressure of Sab brutality. Fair enough, but she can't get too stressed with herself in such situations. That line call seemed to devastate her! She needed more control of her mind and her game.

 

[Mr.Lob]

I hope they get really petty in their speeches..lol

"Our prize money will immediately be deposited in Mother Russia's war chest." ?

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Swiatek counting down her time as #1...

 

[ibbi]

So far, the level has been carried over into the second

 

[Mark-Touch]

I hope they get really petty in their speeches..lol

Leave it to the Wimbie organizers. I could see them disallowing any speeches from them.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Chris Evert is really annoying me. Sabalenka barely won that set and Jabeur has been in nearly all of her service games. What the heck are the ESPN commentators talking about?

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

I love Rybakina but Sabalenka really is several leagues above her at her best, like not even close IMO.

 

[TheNachoMan]

I love Rybakina

I saw her first.

 

[abmk]

I love Rybakina but Sabalenka really is several leagues above her at her best, like not even close IMO.

no, she's not. AO final this year as close as it gets with both playing very well.
Sabalenka is better, but not that much better.

 

[ibbi]

I love Rybakina but Sabalenka really is several leagues above her at her best, like not even close IMO.

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO STICK THE KNIFE IN?! STOP BEING MEAN!

 

[Kralingen]

I love Rybakina but Sabalenka really is several leagues above her at her best, like not even close IMO.

Sabalenka is a better mover for sure, something I didn't really believe coming into this year, but Sabalenka definitely has a movement edge.

 

[abmk]

is this the de facto final? I'd say so.

 

[abmk]

Sabalenka is a better mover for sure, something I didn't really believe coming into this year, but Sabalenka definitely has a movement edge.

oh yeah, Sabalenka is definitely the better mover for sure.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

no, she's not. AO final this year as close as it gets with both playing very well.
Sabalenka is better, but not that much better.

Once Sabalenka stepped up in the last two sets she clearly had the edge in most of the rallies though. She also leads the H2H by some margin. IMO Sabalenka's movement and her ability to go down the line is what makes the difference

 

[Benf15harp]

Sabalenka is from Belarus, my bro. And I don’t see what that has to do with anything.

lol.

 

[ibbi]

Sabs with the dropper in the tight game just to show she can whip that out when she wants to

 

[Benf15harp]

Define wokeness for us please.

Brokeness

 

[jhick]

Chris Evert is really annoying me. Sabalenka barely won that set and Jabeur has been in nearly all of her service games. What the heck are the ESPN commentators talking about?

Obviously a great player back in her day, but I agree. Evert and Shriver are the worst commentators IMO. At least Shriver doesn't do many matches and is more on court or in the studio.

 

[Tweener]

Chris Evert: "I'm going to predict a third set here. Jabeur just looks so calm out there". Jabeur proceeds to get broken at love with a double fault at 0-40

 

[Terenigma]

That might be all she wrote. Sabalenka has been insane in serve so far.

 

[gadge]

Jabeur imploding

Ons and Aryna on the same team!

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Saba looking to seize the match and the title.
Nobody can stop her when she is playing well and not gifting DFs.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Tough for Ons.
