This has to be one of the biggest shocks ever if she wins

tayto fan (Michael B), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:41 (eight years ago) link

This is unforced error central from Serena here.

ailsa, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:45 (eight years ago) link

if Watson can hold this game she'll've earned this match

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link

Watson throwing in junk and dropshots and changes of pace and retrieving everything is exactly what Cornet did last year and the textbook way of eliciting errors from Serena

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:47 (eight years ago) link

That epic game where Watson got broken was textbook turning point, I guess. Making more errors now, Serena banging down aces

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:55 (eight years ago) link

don't know, a couple of times it's looked like Watson's going to tighten up but she keeps playing thru it. Serena, on the other hand...

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:58 (eight years ago) link

ok now it's turning back again

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:59 (eight years ago) link

wdn't bet against Williams from here

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:00 (eight years ago) link

Oof. From 40-0 up, Heather?

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:01 (eight years ago) link

Oracene has been everything in this match. I think she was napping for most of it, spent the period where Serena went down 0-3 having an inexplicable giggle fit and is now like

fantastic point from Watson for that game

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:11 (eight years ago) link

omg but not as good as that one

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:12 (eight years ago) link

Watson's defence!

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link

three break points!!!

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link

omigod she's serving for the match

no kiss of death but Watson's composure alone here has been massive

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:14 (eight years ago) link

Two brilliant games in a row, whoa. Watson to serve for it

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:15 (eight years ago) link

Watson has played her share of ridiculous rollercoaster matches with 5 million momentum shifts, she should be used to them

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:16 (eight years ago) link

suddenly getting a lot more first serves in

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:18 (eight years ago) link

lol that loopy topspin FH on the line to save BP

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:19 (eight years ago) link

5-5...

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link

5 million and 1

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link

there was just no way heather was gonna serve that out, i give her massive credit getting to deuce

johnny crunch, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:23 (eight years ago) link

that miss could be the killer

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:25 (eight years ago) link

match point Williams

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:26 (eight years ago) link

well poo

mookieproof, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:29 (eight years ago) link

great match

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:30 (eight years ago) link

Testament to how well Watson was playing that I didn't even put a bet on Serena to come back and win

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:30 (eight years ago) link

omg how does Garry Richardson still have this job. Every question about Watson until one about Venus

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:33 (eight years ago) link

That was the first tennis I've watched this year and I turned up in the pub at the exact moment the match turned Serena's way. Oh dear.

Matt DC, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link

omg how does Garry Richardson still have this job.

His interview with Andy Murray after the match against Haase was abysmal.

ailsa, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:50 (eight years ago) link

Anyway, well done Heather, I doubt Serena will have a tougher match this tournament.

ailsa, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:51 (eight years ago) link

Also, annoyed I didn't cash out my speculative quid placed at 12/1 when she was 3-0 up in the 3rd, but I really thought she was going to go on and do it.

ailsa, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:51 (eight years ago) link

yeah she was in with a shout right up to the end

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:53 (eight years ago) link

This amazing Safarova point was probably also the turning point of her match

Muguruza/Kerber and Niculescu/Pliskova are two v entertaining stylistic contrasts right now

It occurs to me that Kerber and Niculescu have two of my favourite FHs in tennis, for very different reasons

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 11:22 (eight years ago) link

Titanic game by Muguruza. 16 minutes, eight deuces, five set points saved.

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 11:48 (eight years ago) link

point of the tournament there

cerealbar, Saturday, 4 July 2015 11:49 (eight years ago) link

omfg the first point of the TB

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 11:50 (eight years ago) link

Muguruza has saved 7 SPs now. Two with FH winners on the line

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 11:58 (eight years ago) link

What a superb set of tennis that was from Kerber/Mug.

oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:06 (eight years ago) link

Insane quality. Muguruza saves NINE set points, at least three with winners right on the line, and takes the TB 14-12. Two more sets of that please

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:07 (eight years ago) link

I fear for Petra facing either of these two playing like that.

oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:13 (eight years ago) link

Browns just won a set. 2-1 against Troicki

tayto fan (Michael B), Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:26 (eight years ago) link

Niculescu into week two of a Slam for the second time :))))))))

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:27 (eight years ago) link

Muguruza easily the 92-95 (or whatever) generation player i've been most impressed by

cerealbar, Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:28 (eight years ago) link

She fell off just a bit in the second set. What a contrast.

In the 1992-95 generation I'd put Keys' potential above Muguruza's but those are definitely the two most impressive to me.

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:38 (eight years ago) link

Meanwhile, Giorgi has hit her 300th DF of 2015

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:43 (eight years ago) link

(Not an exaggeration, her actual 300th)

lex pretend, Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:43 (eight years ago) link

Maria just hit a dropshot ROS vs Keys

groovemaaan, Saturday, 4 July 2015 12:59 (eight years ago) link

Kerber/Muguruza getting good again (and just in time for Kerber, who woke up at 1-3 15-40 down)
