What is it with PEAK Bartoli and Wimbledon SF? I guess Pierce Brosnan is there again. When I switched on the TV and saw she had won the first set 6-1, I thought "please don't let her be the Henin this time" - I also flashed back to Zvereva losing to Tauziat in the '98 SF after winning the opening set 6-1. But I'm also severely paranoid when it comes to these things. Do you guys think the MTO will have any impact?

Luckily I never saw the original version of Peak Grasstoli. I stil remember how my jaw dropped when I read that scoreline in the newspaper.

CAKE gets the double break back. YAY.
No repeat of the service break mania versus Stephens, please.

The moment of truth. Can CAKE serve it out?

She always comes up with these crazy statements after winning a Wimbledon SF.

And the same number as Hingis and Seles combined.

I'd never have imagined that in a million years. Good for her! "Six years ago Bartoli beat No.1 and No.3 to get to the final. In 2013 she had to beat a grand total of two Top-60 players to do the same." So there's that. My point in not to diminish her run this year, it's just that it's impossible to compare the current results of any player vs the results that happened during the time the tour had actual quality players.

Lisicki is playing such fantastic tennis! Angles, volleys, winners! Errors, bleh.

That was really shitty luck with the net cord but still great reaction from Aga, almost got the ball back in.

Clever pass by Aga

Oh, Sabine!! Plz play better, there are just so many errors, and the serve is gone too.

Post by Lady on Jul 4, 2013 9:15:15 GMT -5
Serve came back just in time to save Sabine!! 6-4 (had to save a break point)
But she needs to play better in the 2nd!

Yay. Aga's made a habit of winning in three sets and this match is definitely not over. But glad Sabine has a set in hand for the inevitable brainfart to come.

Oh, Sabine!! Plz play better, there are just so many errors, and the serve is gone too. She's managing. Fun match to watch. I'm working hard to not let Chrissie ruin it for me.

Are we all rooting for Sabine Appelmans, then? I am, but I'm enjoying watching Aga's game, too.

Good match. Lisicki is peaking in the sense that she's playing really confidently, she hit errors against Serena and Kaia as well but she's not letting them get to her. Don't like it for Aga
