Baba Yaga Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Vondrousova in the final, from the parts I saw I think the winner of the next match has to be the strong favourite to win the title.

Baba Yaga Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Impressive comeback from Jabeur, watching the deciding set it was much deserved. Great chance for her to get a grand slam and I think she would be the first woman from an African or Arab country to do that. Hard for me to see past Djokovic and Alcaraz winning tomorrow.

I see that too although Medvedev might run him close. Would be some final but we saw at the French Open that Alcaraz isn't quite ready yet to beat Novak in a GS final.

Vondrousova deserved her win but there was great disappointment that Svitolina couldn't win again. As a Ukrainian and having recently comeback from having a child she was the story and the darling of Wimbledon. Ons Jabeur will be favourite for the final but Vondrousova can't be underestimated. She's already defied the odds more than once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Djokovic vs Alcaraz it will be interesting to see if lessons have been learnt from that match and if Alcaraz can hang in there better to take it a longer distance this time, but being on grass and considering it hasn't been very long it will be a tough task. 1 hour ago, RoystonFoote'snephew said: Vondrousova deserved her win but there was great disappointment that Svitolina couldn't win again.

She's already defied the odds more than once. From what I have seen in the last 2 games Vondrousova has been quite patchy (she went under the radar before that for me), will be good if she can make Jabeur play as well as in the semi, for me she looks better under pressure but things could be different when it's the final. On Svitolina she did very well to beat Swiatek who I was expecting to win before that match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the strain it puts on the body against Novak though. Alcaraz's time will come he reminds me of Nadal around 2006 he started running Federer closer and closer until his time finally came.

I thought the first game was one sided and ended quick but this one looks even more so, easy for me to say without a solution but looks like Medvedevs strategy is not working at all.

Baba Yaga Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Yep it was pretty brutal seeing her tears and what she said about it being the worst loss of her career, would be good to see her get over the line at some point but she played nowhere her normal levels yesterday. As for today will be interesting to see if they have any issues performing, expecting a breathless start here but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
