Roland Garros 2025 Womens Semi Final - Sabalenka vs Swiatek
- Thread starter Hitman
- Start date
Look at the stats from the third set. If you can find me same stats for Roger in a set ill stand corrected; 43% win on 1st serve. 0% win on 2nd serve. 20% receiving points won.

Yeah. I started writing harsh but fair, but went with ouch
I wish the constant remonstrations and angry interactions with coaches would be banned. It's not a good look.
This applies to many players

Well....hear me out
I didn't think he was going to just dominate Zverev like that. That's 1/3 of the Murderer's Row he will have to face.
Sinner....lacks the variety and sophistication to trouble Djokovic. And this surface is probably his worst. If his Plan B isn't working because Djoko is disrupting his pace....he's finished. Only chance is to overpower Djoko from the first ball and never let up.
And Alcaraz/Musetti.....nuff said
Djoko dispatched both of them rather easily at RGOG, beat Alcaraz at AO this year, and beat Musetti at what, 4 tournaments last year?

I was kinda joking
Roger was different, in his older days he usually put himself in an even position and choked. How many times did Roger go 0-6?
Im not so sure anymore lol!

I'm hearing you but I just don't see it happening. The hot money has been on a Sinner/Alcaraz final before the tournament even started and I think that's exactly what we're destined to see on Sunday.

Watching the highlights now, and Sabalenka's shrieking is out of control. Like she's screaming on sliced forehands and well after the ball crosses the net. Jarring after not having watched her for a long time.

Absolute Joy!
The wonderfully talented Sabalenka soundly defeated the cheating Swiatek on the latter's alleged "home court", ending the asinine claim from her fans (especially on Talk Tennis Warehouse) that the cheating Swiatek was going to be:
1. The female Nadal at the French Open, pretty much "owning the event until she retires.
2. A master at the French Open, who was so formidable, Sabalenka would never beat her there.
Senseless fantasies aside, the French Open will have a new ladies' champion, and I'm hoping she is the one who enrolled Swiatek in a tennis clinic in that 3rd, devastating set.

You are only correct about Swiatek, and now, she's out of the event in a defeat that was the match of the event.
Very Likely.

Sabalenka is so utterly unwatchable for me with her shrieking that I refuse to watch any match she plays and know plenty of people who do the same in spite of actually enjoying women's tennis.
She should have been called for hindrance about a million times in her career before now along with a few others.

Totally feeling flat now. Absolutely devastated for Swiatek. Had champagne in as I was sure she would win and I was so pumped for this match.
I think this is worse I've felt after a tennis match since the Nadal v Wawrinka AO 2014 match. Hate chatrier with the roof. Hate it. Hate it.

The roof was the reason Swiatek lost. Like to see that match in sunshine and with no roof. Swiatek will win another 3 FOs. Weather this week in Paris unusually bad.

Indeed! So far, this was the match of the 2025 French Open.It was delightful to watch Sab demolish Iga.
Nonsense. Only those who seek some antiquated country club environment complain about natural layer sounds during a match, yet you inexplicably say noting about Swiatek, one of the most habitual cheaters in tennis history for a number of reasons. Good riddance to Swiatek and her corrupt approach to tennis.
His level of play is good enough to beat anybody. The problem is he doesn’t have the physicality to go through Sinneraz + Z.

Country club standards have zero to do with not putting up with the ridiculous shrieking from Sabalenka which has nothing to with anything 'natural'

Hopefully the latter. The habitual cheater is terrible to endure.
If that's all she was using.
I suppose it's not surprising some people were hoping for Swiatek to win, but I did not realize that anyone liked her enough to be emotionally devastated by this result.

The talent of Sabalenka will be too much for Gauff in the final as well. Too much power.

Unless you can prove she's making noises as some sort of tactic (and you will never be able to), you are on the country club side, as if women are a group of silent mice wearing bows on their heads.
Its a minority of people. Swiatek might be one the most disliked players in the locker room and with fans.
I hope you are right.

The fact that it was played indoors determined the outcome of the match.
I'm not so sure. Swiatek destroyed her 6-2 6-2 and 6-3 6-4 in the 2 Stuttgart finals (Indoors clay). Yet lost in Madrid in outdoor conditions (Madrid 2023, and saved Match points in Madrid 2024).
Swiatek is just not all that right now, including on clay. Collins hammered her in Rome in outdoors, warm conditions. Shnaider almost took her out in Madrid. Rybakina should have been able to finish her off. All those matches were played without a roof.
Maybe the roof altered the results a bit but overall, Sabalenka is simply a better player in the last 12 months. Swiatek hasn't made one final since RG 2024. Meanwhile Sabalenka won Cincinnati, USO, Wuhan, Adelaïde, Miami and Madrid.

please get a grip, often robots malfunction when their programming goes haywire
and she went into berzerk mode so many times went out powered, just creepy and scary.
Swiatech in the first few sets did this
then last set did this
