Marketa Vondrousova (CZ): a wondrous star is born!

[Peter Šmejkal]

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Plays tomorrow noonish her first match in the MD of 2017 RG.

Already
89 NCH (94) Markéta Vondroušová 17.9 CZE7 675 +7 +40 Qual. Roland Garros W

Big watching quandary for me: having to watch in parallel Halep, Bouchard, Vondrousov.
More difficult than the 180 practice serves I had today.

[EDIT] Halep was pushed back later by Zverev - Verdasco TBF. Simona might not even play tomorrow.

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Wondrous is due to start soon her MD matches at 2017 RG against the local WC Hesse
Court 6
Be there
I'll have double duty with Bouchard due also.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Wondrous turning 18 soon, bye age limit!

 

[albatros_forehand]

Leading 6-1 3-0 against Hesse in the 1st round.

 

[Peter Šmejkal]

Makule is 77 ...right now (live WTA ranking), 34 (race)...and 51/6 W/L..

 

[albatros_forehand]

aaaand...done..in 55 minutes at 1 and 0. Well done!

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Wondrous requires some seeds on her platter. Kasatkina next?

 

[jm1980]

I've seen her play for the first time in this tournament... She's really, really good.

If she improves her serve a little bit she will win multiple Slams

Q1: d. Podorosk 6-0 6-1 0:38
Q2: d. Haas 6-0 6-1 0:57
Q3: d. Blinkova 6-1 6-4 1:06
R1: d. Hesse 6-1 6-0 0:54

Any questions?

True true...both serves not yet on the same level as her groundies and touch. But she has SOME tennis brain..

Q2: d. Haas 6-0 6-1 0:57
Q3: d. Blinkova 6-1 6-4 1:06
R1: d. Hesse 6-1 6-0 0:54

Any questions?

Yes..who the hell are Haas, Blinkova Podorosk and Hesse
Just kidding..
Kasatkina next will be a first real test though..

Of course. And Halep could be looming in R3, won't that be interesting?

 

[Marius_Hancu]

5 am EST tomorrow with Kasatkina.
The derby of the day in women's.
Two future stars.

 

[tennisenthusiast]

We have too many future stars at the moment. They are all turning out to be duds.

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Kasatkina better focused than Wondrous: 7-6 6-4. Much more experienced too.
And V seemed to have shoulder pain.

 

[Peter Šmejkal]

Markéta paid dearly for qualifying matches, and today it was a bit of a lack of strength.
Now she needs to regenerate and strengthen at the same time. Today she seemed to have trouble with his left hand...

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Two years later, the girl has grown up ...
Vondrousova holds on to shock Halep in epic Indian Wells upset

 

[Ruark]

And I would add..... She doesn't grunt!

Hallelujah!!!!! All right!!!

 

[PDJ]

Hallelujah!!!!! All right!!!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Two years later, the girl has grown up ...

She made R16 US Open already.

 

[norcal]

Watched her upset Kasatkina in the 2nd round. Was crushing groundie's then throwing in the dropper. Pretty impressive although boy did she look unhappy a lot of the time lol.

 

[albatros_forehand]

Star is not just born. It’s shining bright!!

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

One of the rare thread predictions that turned into reality.

Brilliant, decisive match from my pick Markéta Vondroušová, who made this wonderfully historic Wimbledon final! Markéta Vondroušová is a fantastic new member of the Wimbledon winners' stage!!

[Mainad]

Good call from the OP!

 

[tennis24x7]

I feel she got lucky because Ons beat all the GS winners and she didn't beat any like Raducanu.

 

[Airspun]

Her scribble tattoos give her unimaginable power, respect to her and GG.

you can only beat the person in front of you and she won when it mattered most unlike ChokONS
