2023 Wimbledon - Women's Singles Discussion

Huge return up the middle sets up MP

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Ons handling Saba's serves like nobody else's business

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

MP for Jabeur.

 

[Kralingen]

I mean, this is still nothing compared to MaSha beating Davenport and Serena b2b in 2004.

But considering the incredible amount of mug draws I saw required to win Wimbledon in the 2010s (I still have nightmares over Bartoli winning, and the time Genie made a Final)...

This has gotta be one of the more impressive feats at Wimbledon in a while. Rybakina and Sabalenka on back to back days.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

DF-DF to lose the match?

 

[tudwell]

Can’t blame Sabalenka for going for more there. She’s like 2/8 on second serve this set.

 

[Terenigma]

Sabalenka holding on for dear life right now but her serving continues to keep her in this.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Clutch hold

 

[Hitman]

Ons said before the first round match that she is not going home without the title, time to back it up.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Saves two MP's - can Aryna Sabalenka somehow crawl her way back into this with a break?

 

[tudwell]

And she holds! Can Jabeur close it out?

 

[ultimathule]

15-0

 

[ibbi]

2 unforced to 14 in the final set. That's the story of it right there.

 

[jm1980]

Triple MP

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Ons said before the first round match that she is not going home without the title, time to back it up.

Her service games have been off the chain this set!

 

[ultimathule]

30-0

 

[Rattie]

Sabalenka spraying errors. Only that big serve has kept her in the match in these final stages

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

I have never seen Ons hit 2hbh that well

 

[-NN-]

Fantastic shot tolerance, Ons Jabeur.

 

[Kralingen]

Sabalenka has gone down a bit easily here. Thought she let Jabeur off the hook in all 3 point so far.

 

[Terenigma]

Seals it with an ace!! Awesome match and well deserved win!

 

[jm1980]

Sabalenka senses the pressure on Jabeur and is just putting balls in play

 

[zvelf]

Like Jabeur did against Rybakina, she went into the zone in the third set and repeatedly broke another superior server to take the win.

 

[ultimathule]

Getting dicey

 

[Mr.Lob]

Ace. Nice match Jabeur and Sabalenka.
Made up for the prior match.

 

[Kralingen]

what an ace to finish.

 

[jm1980]

Ace to close it, GSM Jabeur!

 

[Hitman]

Incredible scenes. Now don't mess it up in the final Ons!!!!!

 

[Winners or Errors]

Nice ace. Couldn't happen to a nicer, more creative player. Yay for Ons!!! Evert still annoying...

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Great comeback by Ons!
Sad for Saba

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

There it is - well done from Ons Jabeur - back into the Ladies Wimbledon Final - 6-7; 6-4; 6-3. Too good for Aryna Sabalenka to handle today.

 

[-NN-]

Hard not to be a fan of the guile and intelligence with which Ons plays the game.

I'll be rooting for her in the final.

 

[Mark-Touch]

TUNa fish tops beloRussian caviar!

 

[Rattie]

Sealed with an ace! Very popular winner. So hope she wins the title this time

 

[zvelf]

This match, like many others on the women's tour, just proves how idiotic that thread from yesterday was calling women's tennis unwatchable.

 

[ibbi]

Sabalenka wins 1 slam and then loses two tight epic classic semifinals. Look forward to seeing how she does in New York. She's one of the few not bothered by those balls they use there.

 

[ultimathule]

Impressive three set win for Jabeur. So resilient

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

ONS

 

[ark_28]

It’s unfortunate

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

EPIC ONS

 

[snowwhite]

I love Ons and I wish her all the best as she deserves, but I really wanted Saba to win here. Losing a third slam final and a second Wimbledon will kill her. I don't want her to go through that

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

As a side note, what's up with these Rolex commercials?
They used to have legends such as Fed, Evert, Laver, etc.
Now they have Gauff, Fritz, etc?
Tomic and Krygios can't be far behind...

 

[abmk]

That's some effort/level from Jabeur to beat Rybakina and Sabalenka b2b - both from a set down.
Hope she gets the slam.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Who says women don't shake hands, nicey nicey?

 

[bluetrain4]

Kudos Ons! I'm not that excited for the final.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

This match, like many others on the women's tour, just proves how idiotic that thread from yesterday was calling women's tennis unwatchable.

Well, they were 1/2 right today

 

[Djokovic2011]

I like Ons and hope she wins the tournament but at the same time I feel so bad for Sab.

 

[fundrazer]

Kudos Ons! I'm not that excited for the final.

If it doesn't get too nervy from the competitors, it could be good. Certainly going to be quite different from the typical bashfests we often see. Both mix up with slice and dropshots, Vondrousova also has the loopy forehand + flat backhand.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Ons SHOULD win the final...but WILL she?

 

[Sarzy]

That was an entertaining match. Congrats to Ons
