2024 Wimbledon - Women's Discussion

I can't believe Paolini is 28 btw. I wanna know what moisturiser she's using!

Loool... *cough* and Vekic in contrast is the same age, so many players not using sunblock still it seems

Paolini is actually slightly older than Vekic but looks 10 years younger.

 

[ibbi]

Beautiful approach forehand to save break point. Good gahd.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

where's the slice Jazzz

 

[flyingboris]

OMG I can't believe Donna survived that match point!

 

[helterskelter]

Vekic missed those last three shots by maybe a centimeter. Bad luck imo. Now all the pressure on

I'm not sure. I think that if you are consistently missing narrowly, you should recalibrate and start to play a little safer.

 

[TennisFan3]

D Vekic channeling her inner Djokovic. Can she win after facing Match points. Novak's made a living doing that.

 

[flyingboris]

That's Vekic' last challenge until the tiebreak, should it happen.

 

[Hitman]

Well well well.

Final set tie break.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Mamma Mia a spicy tiebreak!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Super Breaker time! What a match, ladies and gentlemen.....

 

[Kralingen]

Hats off round of applause to both women for managing to hold through the tension of those last two games. Great stuff.

 

[Boxbeams4ever]

Paolini is actually slightly older than Vekic but looks 10 years younger.

Haha I think it's partly cause she has a smallish head and looks 5'3 and should be in school still

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

okay DV can get to final, but I still want Jazz

 

[ibbi]

Why does Vekic always looks like/is crying.

She is like this all the time. I wouldn't read much into it.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Lucky netcord for Paolini

 

[Djokovic2011]

Huge credit to Vekic for coming through that game. Here's hoping for a great tiebreak!

 

[robyrolfo]

This is sport ladies and gents. Pure raw emotion. Bravo, let’s hold now Vekic so the match can get the lunacy of a TB.

*Brave

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Why is Vekic hitting at the doubles alley?

 

[FloridaAG]

Sure is a lot of drama from Vekic. Seems ok once the points start

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Mini-breaks traded.....still.......anyone's match.

 

[flyingboris]

That's twice now that Donna missed that forehand to the right corner this tiebreak.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Why is Vekic hitting at the doubles alley?

For the third time

 

[robyrolfo]

where's the slice Jazzz

I haven't seen a single slice for an hour. Have you?

 

[flyingboris]

Paolini is going to get back problems if she's going to keep bending back like that on every missed point.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Vekic wastes her last challenge

 

[Boxbeams4ever]

Awww man, what an unlucky challenge, and none left now damnnn

 

[flyingboris]

..and that was the last challenge. Good choice though, that was very close.

 

[flyingboris]

Vekic with ice in her veins, and water in her tear ducts.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Match of the tournament.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

6-6! Does this go past 10? Chances are......

 

[Kralingen]

6-6 because of course it is.

Can’t imagine a match being closer than this one is, genuinely.

 

[flyingboris]

Match of the tournament.

I really wasn't planning on watching the whole thing, but it's impossible to look away.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Vekic with ice in her veins, and water in her tear ducts.

but. she is mentally tough.

 

[Sarzy]

Thiis is such a battle! Would have made a great final.

 

[TennisFan3]

Match of the tournament.

Please. This is not even close to the men's matches. Best match for WTA for sure.

 

[Ronaldo]

Dead Heat on a Merry-go-round!

 

[Boxbeams4ever]

This is toooooo tightttttt, I can't handle these line balls ahhhhhh!!!

 

[zvelf]

Feels like whoever can get the next mini-break is going to win the match.

 

[Hitman]

LOL

Did Vekic just wake up?

 

[Hitman]

8-8

 

[ibbi]

Something's gotta give.

 

[Oval_Solid]

some match

 

[flyingboris]

This is toooooo tightttttt, I can't handle these line balls ahhhhhh!!!

I'm making a lot of sounds here, wife's gotta wonder what the heck's going on

 

[Djokovic2011]

Vekic's serving has been great these past ten minutes.

 

[Hitman]

MP Paolini

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

8 apiece.....well done, ladies.

 

[Kralingen]

Hilarious how Paolini’s little brother is managing to get the Badge In.

 

[ibbi]

What a sublimely floated second serve. Ouch.

 

[Hitman]

Its out. Paolini wins....what a choke job

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Mamma Mia Paolini makes her second slam final and her first Wimble Womble final
