2018 French Open Final: Simona Halep vs. Sloane Stephens

[kskate2]

AP. Sloane could have won this match in 2 sets. She needs to work on her fitness if she's going to contend for majors

 

[Carol]

Or 5-1

 

[Federberg]

maybe it's the effortless way she plays that gets me annoyed AP. I feel like she has gears

 

[Carol]

I meant 6-1

 

[kskate2]

Getting to the business end multiple slams requires extreme fitness and confidence

 

[Federberg]

a breadstick is always better than a bagel in Paris

Sometimes TF gang .when your opponent is playing like this , winning the over 20 stroke rallies, its their day.. you concede and lace em up again in next practice session.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

for how many consecutive slams we had first time winners

 

[kskate2]

I would say yes normally AP, except she was bossing this match and she took her foot off the gas just like Simo did last year

 

[Federberg]

that's fair AP. But honestly. Sloane has the power to just cut loose when she's getting tired. Do something difference. Watching her, it just feels like there's no dog in her at all. I feel like she could lose this and go shopping later and not even care

 

[the AntiPusher]

Very true..if she was fitter but I don’t think that’s what happened today, the better player is winning..

 

[Carol]

One more......

 

[kskate2]

MP for Simona

 

[Federberg]

well done! Well done!

 

[Moxie]

Finally, for Halep. Congrats.

 

[kskate2]

Wow. A service winner.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Yippee to Simona..she deserves it..Bravo

 

[Federberg]

It's not enough Simona. Got to win one more slam to make the sacrifice right

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Congrats to Simona, she proved she was not a born choker and it was just an acquired skill

 

[britbox]

Fair play... you've got to be happy for her.
