Wimbledon 2019 - OT - London Goes Nuts for Coco
- Thread starter Mcfrank
- Start date
She was impeccable there. You could see her moving so early into position for those returns.
Congrats to Halep on an exceedingly impressive championship! Some of her shotmaking was stunning.
that's not only her last slam win but her last tournament win period.
Harder every day that goes by. Slipping opportunities like this will keep her up at night and hopefully motivated.
Serena is 37 going up against an incredible defensive player. If her power shots aren't working that is all shes got.
Tournament directors love Serena which is why they book her so late in the day well after the sun has set against players that aren't great. If she played earlier in the day in the hot summer sun she wouldn't even be a factor.
I don't see her reaching it. This was her best chance, and now IF she ever reaches another slam final she'll have 3 consecutive finals losses weighing on her mind as well.
lol nah. Serena just needs to improve her speed. Talk to Djokovic about his gluten free diet secrets to help
true.
i was looking at her career statistics and was quite shocked how few tournaments she won. she "only" has 72 tournament wins. which is less than Nadal or Djokovic and 35 less than Graf.
Djokovic can come over and cook her his gluten free diet meals for the next 2 years but it still wont help.
I follow tennis, not as closely as many of you, and serena just seems unfocused. She is doing everything but focusing on her game right now. I hope people are being frank with her rather than patting her on the back and sugar coating it. She needs to get serious or stay home.
I believe she was paid over $2 million for playing here at Wimbledon and if the younger players aren't great then why stop? keep collecting checks as long as she understands she wont ever win the final lol
Because her GOAT persona and declaration suffer with each loss. I don't think she is doing it for the money because her and hubby have more than enough, but I think people are going soft on her. She needs to stop her journey to socialite and reclaim her game.
If true and she continues to skate easily into the finals at majors, the women's game must be a dumpster fire right now.
Lol I didn't say she was talentless or unskilled. Just not focused.
I hope someone goes on a run now and we're not stuck with one dominant person and women you think will go on to do something but end up winning one or two and not doing much else
My favorite thing about Wimbledon is how none of the employees give a shit about what's going on on the court. Dude in the men's doubles final just got pelted in the face with a ball and there's no concern from any of the line judges, the chair umpire, security, nobody.
If by some miracle Roger wins tomorrow, what are the odds he announces his retirement?
Does it even make sense? At the level of the everyone outside the top 3, he can still beat pretty much everyone for the most part.

Slim to none. This year he actually picked up his schedule by playing clay tournaments. He's gonna be around a while longer
Each of the 3 sets in this doubles final so far has lasted longer than the entirety of the women's final.
He is starting to look old to me. His shots don't have much pop on them at times and I don't think his endurance is what it used to be.
That said he loves playing so I think he will play as long as he is having fun. People said he should have retired numerous times now. Can't ever count him out.
His shots still have pop. I remember Casper Ruud meeting him for the first time earlier this year and noting he'd never played someone as fast.
He can't push most players around with his power anymore. He has to rely much more on skill than any other top player.
OP

If Federer wins tomorrow, Serena may want to look behind her instead of in front of her. Fed may catch her in total singles slams one day.
