Wimbledon 2019 - OT - London Goes Nuts for Coco

[Dispatch]

I know Serena has won 49 grand slams, but can someone explain her inconsistency sometimes. It's like she puts out these random shitshows sometimes.

She's 37. Age makes consistency harder. The cogs in the machine are a little more worn.

 

[Niraj]

That was an amazing shot

 

[NekoNeko]

with halep being one of the biggest chokers of all time and serena being serena i wouldn't trust halep winning if she was up 6-0 5-0 (40-0).

 

[zero_suit]

Halep being clutch? Bad sign.

 

[mercenar1e]

I don't. Serena needs that one last title.

her time is over.

All hail the person who beats her and loses in the second round of the very next tournament.

 

[jelly]

Some amazing shots by Halep.

 

[Niraj]

Wow

 

[darkwing]

Serena losing this

 

[massivekettle]

Halep will make quick work of Serena. Game over within the next 30 minutes?

 

[NekoNeko]

damn halep has some shots

 

[Middleman]

Godlike set from Halep.

 

[Dispatch]

Wow, 6-2 in 26 minutes. I thought Halep would win, but not like this.

 

[NekoNeko]

let's go. one more.

 

[Dispatch]

The scream from Serena felt like Nadal's attempts to pump himself up yesterday. I wonder if the result would be the same.

 

[Lifejumper]

Yo these saves

 

[mercenar1e]

mothertime is calling Serena.

 

[Niraj]

Her court coverage is insane

 

[zero_suit]

Halep's D is ridiculous.

 

[Dispatch]

I was rooting for Serena to see the record broken, but Halep is too good today not to appreciate.

Serena is just inconsistent. Semi's Serena would have straight setted Halep.

 

[BlindCom]

Serena is getting desperate, her serve is not hurting Halep enough and she can't end the rallies in 2-3 shots like she needs to. She's flustered.

 

[mercenar1e]

Serena is just inconsistent. Semi's Serena would have straight setted Halep.

Serenas draw this tournament has been very easy compared to Halep and Halep straight setted everyone except Buzarnescu. If Serena faced Halep earlier the result would be no different.

 

[BlindCom]

It's not over yet because Halep is very apt at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. But the outcome probably isn't in Serena's head nor racket anymore.

 

[Brinbe]

serena gave up mentally a long time ago. we've seen this happen to her many times. she'll be back and get that next major in time.

congrats to simona on the championship

 

[MIMIC]

Halep is playing well but Serena is playing like garbage today

 

[massivekettle]

A Wimbledon final done within an hour?

I feel for people who paid top dollar to see this.

Yeah, Serena's footwork is off.

 

[NekoNeko]

 

[Middleman]

This further makes women's tennis a joke especially in light of the matches we have seen on the men's side recently. I mean, a Wimbledon final done within an hour?

FOH man. This is unnecessary.

 

[sam777]

Halep is too good

 

[Kitten Mittens]

Damn, Serena getting the shit kicked outa her.

 

[Niraj]

Impressive win. Wow.

 

[NekoNeko]

nice one Halep. well deserved.

 

[MIMIC]

MAN, that was quick!

 

[jelly]

Well deserved, absolutely romped it.

 

[Brinbe]

career highlight, happy for her. she played a fucking amazing final.

 

[Dispatch]

Congratulations to Halep.

But, is Serena done? She looked lost out there.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

gg

Maybe next tourney, Serena. Gotta play Better than this shit.

 

[zero_suit]

Congrats Halep. She was flawless. Serena :(

 

[clemenx]

I know this isn't her 1st slam but this is finally the Halep that was promised.

Kinda hope she goes on a dominant run. WTA needs one of those players imo.

 

[Ricker]

Simona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....

She was just too fast today for Serena,I mean she even read most of Serena's serve right...great match from Halep.

 

[Humidex]

Serena will never win #24. It's the insurmountable mental hurdle that will define the latter stages of her career.

 

[MIMIC]

Halep: "dafuq just happened"

 

[miserable]

SI-MO-NA!

my god I'm so proud of her!! what a historic day for us romanians!! Tears, man, tears.

Serena is such a champion. But today so was Simona.

 

[NekoNeko]

despite being in 3 GS finals, Serena hasn't won a single tournament in 2.5 years.

LOL

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Serena played bad with awful movement, but Halep was really impressive.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Wow utter domination by Halep. 0-3 in slam finals as a mother for Serena.

 

[massivekettle]

FOH man. This is unnecessary.

Not really. I am not denying these athletes are amazing, I am simply saying that there should be better parity between the men's game and the women's, starting with, for instance, playing best of 5 in grand slams - especially since both genders are now earning the same.

It's not fair to men's that women's earn the same for a 55-min game than men's playing for 3 or 4 hours (tomorrow)?

Congrats to Halep for this match, though. I do wonder if Serena is not thinking of retiring now.
