Grand Slam Wimbledon 2024

Who wants to see someone that’s already won another slam! We want a new person to win one, well I do anyway!

Paolini on the board

 

[BobbyMorri]

Big hold.

I reckon this is going to be a 3 hour plus match

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Big hold.

I reckon this is going to be a 3 hour plus match

That would be nice for a change, usually the women’s is over in an hr or so…

Yeah, there has been some bad mismatches.

My prediction of 3 hours looks very bad now.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Looking like going the distance for the moment but still anyone’s match…

 

[BobbyMorri]

geech, Paolini has so much support.

 

[pacemaker]

Wins this game and goes 4-1 up surely takes the set 1-1

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yeah, there has been some bad mismatches.

Then again…

 

[BobbyMorri]

Then again…

we need both players playing at the same time.

Hardly watched the women's tbh, but how exactly has Paolini done so well? What weapons does she have? I only watched the first set and only just tuned back in.

Also they're the same age?? Honestly thought the Czech player (who I've never heard of) was a good 10 years younger and Paolini was like early 20s!

 

[ep2018]

Damn what a shitty time to double fault.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Somehow I knew that double was coming lol

 

[BobbyMorri]

Nervy..

Wobble..

 

[Plugger35]

Paolini rising off the canvas.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Geech. Babs is trying her best to win it and lose it.

Barbora finally asked a question that Jasmine couldn't answer

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Good match, too bad Paolini couldn’t get it back on serve, but well deserved win from Barbora.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Good first serves.

Would not have got the win in that last game without it.

Doesn't seem right that Babs has more grand slams than rybakina and the same as sabelenka

She does very well when she goes deep.

 

[Plugger35]

Czech mate.

Barbora was just too good.

She plays tennis like Furiosa.

 

[AdelaideGT]

It was a good match. Paolini frustrating Barbora right until the end.

Hopefully the men's final will be as close - but someone not named Novak will be the winner.

 

[Plugger35]

Paolini hasn't lost any friends today, even Tom Cruise appreciates her adorable attempt to speak English with an Italian accent.

So you thought Barbora Krejcikova (who already has won a French Open) was 13-14? Lol

Well to fill you in, even if Krejčíková had lost today she'd still be:

A French Open champion

A World No.2 in Singles and World No.1 in Doubles

Also completed the Career Grand Slam in Doubles, complete with the year-end Tour Finals title plus an Olympic Gold Medal


Also a fun fact - She was the World No.2 on the day that Ash Barty retired as the World No.1

Navratoliva looked like a proud mum, I forgot that she is a Czech too. she played under the USA flag for most of her career.

She defected to the US from Czechoslovakia back in 1975 when she was a teenager, back when they were under Soviet rule.
