2017 Wimbledon Final: Venus Williams vs. Garbine Muguruza

[britbox]

I don't know if I'd call it timid, but Venus was more composed and playing the better tennis.

 

[WTA-rocks]

Garbine was never timid early on. The forehand was off, she hit through it.

Well Mugu joins the illustrious list of players who are members of the AELTC

 

[kskate2]

Maybe timid wasn't the right word, but she was nervous

 

[britbox]

Erratic definitely, but you suspected she'd get better and Venus couldn't get the seperation when she was playing the better tennis.

 

[kskate2]

Right Baron.

 

[Moxie]

Enjoy the day, people! See you tomorrow!

 

[kskate2]

yes Mox. I will be closing the chat soon. Please take any final comments to the match thread.

 

[Moxie]

There's the ex-King of Spain to congratulate her.

 

[britbox]

How do you have an ex-King... did he just choose to stand down?

 

[Moxie]

Yes, he abdicated in favor of his son.

 

[kskate2]

I will enjoy the day Mox. Going to see OneRepublic tonight.

[Moxie]

Have fun, K!

 

[kskate2]

I will, I love them.

 

[britbox]

Enjoy K. Garbine showing the plate to the crowds outside.

 

[kskate2]

Ok. Closing chat now. Don't forget to join us tomorrow for the men's final.

So, as Tracy Austin just said... 2 majors will basically put you in the Hall of Fame.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Garbage put the foot down fiercely in the second set and did not let V back in the match. When you play a champion, if you give them an inch, they will take a mile. She did very fine, in not even giving an inch and crushing V.

@britbox For sure, but she needs a stint at no 1 too. Is Pierce in the HOF? She has 2 slams. but was never #1.
