Really thought Petra would have made it through...she is clearly the best grass player...Sabine looked good, didn't see the other matches...

(29,697 posts)such opposite styles, Marion is just a hopping, and slashing her racket around, whereas Sloan is so composed and calm......but, the jumper won and would not let Sloan get into a rhythm of serving. Good match, felt bad Sloan didn't win, she has lost to Marion before. Matches now 0 - 2 for Stevens against Bartoli.

(29,697 posts)Marion Bartoli.....yikes who knew?? sounds as though the crowd want's Sabine to win but.... Marion should win, she's playing her guts out. She deserves to win I guess.
Bartoli: Wimbledon Champ!
May be her only chance to win a major!
Good for her!

(56,177 posts)Seriously, she hops and takes the ball early so she hits it back and it skids,not bounces, back to her opponent...on grass that's smart.

(7,429 posts)I enjoyed the heck out of Bartoli and her little hops. She was so endearing and genuine to Lisicki when she won. I hate to say this, but you never see this with Serena. I just loved watching her play on Saturday. I just wish Lisicki wasn't so nervous. I would love to see that match again with Lisicki playing at top form.
And what can you say about Andy Murray. He was so shocked. I don't think he knew he won the point until way after. It was so "real" and amazing at the same time. Again, what Tennis should be about. That was an aswesome match. The rallys were incredible. 31 strokes in one game!! I also loved the reaction of the crowd - except for the last point. Who was the idiot in the crowd who screamed when Andy served on the last game?? That was annoying as all hell!

(56,177 posts)SHe's got a great grass game...and she finally made it to a final...as for the men, did not watch one second of the men's final...really don't like either player...would have loved to see Jerzy have played Juan-Martin!

(56,177 posts)Well, Jerzy had one thing going for him...he's not Murray!
