[ewiewp]

Well deserved champ.

 

[MatsPhilander]

Christ-find a mic that works.

 

[La Grande]

Looool you guys are so cruel about Bartoli

 

[Rubens]

Is Marion making a comeback? I can't weight!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep's hug with Cahill who has been with her for all the ups and downs.

 

[ewiewp]

Cahill is a great coach with deep tennis mind.

 

[MatsPhilander]

Looool you guys are so cruel about Bartoli

i thought she was looking to eat Halep for a moment there.

 

[Fed881981]

Damn Bartoli....

Her outfit is terrible!

 

[Sentinel]

Bartoli doing the on court interview with Halep.

Is Marion ever making her comeback?

Lol LOL LOLLIPOP

 

[tacou]

YESSSSS. so happy!! and she did it the hard way, set and a break down to an in form opponent/reigning slam champ.

Halep's hug with Cahill who has been with her for all the ups and downs.

Great moment

Bartoli planning to eat the crowd after the ceremony finishes.

 

[sportmac]

Both microphones die on Halep.

Hahahaha.

And she laughs it off!

[SeeingDusk]

Congrats to Simona. Very well deserved. Great win, especially after everything.

 

[steenkash]

Might as well consider this the last day of RG. Nadal is going to cream Thiem tomorrow. Feel sorry for the lad.

 

[NoleFam]

You have to hand it to Halep. This was a match she would have lost in the past. Stephens started off at a blistering level and her defense to offense was ridiculous. She really didn't give Halep a chance for a set and a half. But I knew her level would have to drop at some point and that's when Halep struck and implemented her aggressive strategy, as well as draining Stephens in long extended rallies. It was really something to watch. Stephens won the sprint but Halep won the long distance race and the title. Entertaining match.

 

[sarmpas]

I enjoyed watching that match. Halep gave her all and a well deserved winner.

 

[Omega_7000]

Great win for Simona...Very happy for her. Well deserved!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Ah Petkovic, never change.

For all the haters who said she‘ll never win a Slam because she‘s mentally weak, go choke on that. Everyone has their own timing and supposed failures are often just stepping stones in an individual‘s life.

On Monday, the top 4 ladies in the rankings will hold a slam.

#1 Simona Halep - French Open champ
#2 Caroline Wozniacki - Australian Open champ
#3 Garbine Muguruza - Wimbledon champ
#4 Sloane Stephens - US Open champ.

All slams are consecutive as well!

****. When did Bartoli get so fat?

Rather this then her skeleton form

 

[MatsPhilander]

Who is the lady with the nice pins?

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Halep is the 1 in 6 and 1

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sloane with her incredible smile, got to love her.

 

[Artanis]

Congratulations Simona!
I have no other words...

 

[steenkash]

Rather this then her skeleton form

Both are equally bad.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Sloane Stephens will win more majors, I'm feeling confident about that. Arguably the most dangerous player on tour right now. Halep came out on top, but Sloane had a wicked tournament.

 

[AM75]

Wow Sanchez looks great.

The Australian Open 2018 Final

Thanks for your "informed" insight nonetheless

Because of her aggressive, run-everything-down playing style, Simona does not fare well in extreme heat conditions, despite her incredible fitness. We've seen this at both Melbourne and Washington DC

[sarmpas]

Halep and Cahill stuck together during the tough slam losses and now this. They could have each found 'reasons' to part company earlier but didn't.

 

[NoleFam]

Her outfit is terrible!

I didn't recognize her until they said who she was.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sloane: not the trophy I wanted but it's still beautiful. Congrats on your first slam Simona, looks good on you.

Ah I do love her.

 

[ak24alive]

Sloane is really humble and lovely

 

[Meles]

Romanian powerhouse

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep a clear #1 after the French

1. Halep, 7970 points
2. Wozniacki, 6745 points
3. Muguruza, 6550 points
4. Stephens, 5463 points
5. Svitolina, 5205 points

Didn't recognise her.

 

[Fed881981]

A real moment of joy for Halep!

Ah I do love her.

Bridesmaid no more. Kudos, Simona.

"Good luck and take care of your body".

 

[Aussie Darcy]

 

[steenkash]

Sloane is gracious in defeat. I'm sure she will win more. She's much more refreshing than Serena, who can be a nasty piece of work.

[oztennisfan]

Great work by killer cahill.. nearly the best coach in the family... nearly...

Great final, simonas mental strength, learning from the mistakes made in the past and sheer will to win got her over the line. Great stuff.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Sloan blew it!

 

[MatsPhilander]

Both are equally bad.

No way-it was really painful watching her so skinny. Wish she could find a happy medium like when she was playing.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Yes Simoo! Rg champiooon!

 

[TheAssassin]

I had a lot of doubts this time last year when it comes to Halep, felt like she was mostly just a backboard at that tournament waiting for things to happen. But as this French Open progressed I was getting confident, because when she shows all of her abilities and shotmaking like now, she is a stunning player to watch and a worthy world number 1. Congratulations to her on finally winning that Slam title, so well deserved.

 

[ak24alive]

What a tournament it has being
