2018 French Open Final: Simona Halep vs. Sloane Stephens

[britbox]

This moonballing is actually a tactical change from Simona

 

[shawnbm]

Don’t like the moonshots either but Simona may need to keep trying something different

 

[kskate2]

she has to try something because through 6 games her other tactics aren't working

 

[shawnbm]

Yes, Sloane!!!

 

[kskate2]

5-2

 

[Federberg]

I think it's a great tactic against Sloane. Sloane feeds of the aggression of the opposition. Not because she needs the power. She's just more comfortable reacting

 

[shawnbm]

It was unreal Sloane lost so many matches after winning in New York City last year for first major. If she can hold on and win here, it may reverberate throuought the WTA as she, when on, has quite a game. It’ll be mental from here on out.

Hi, Federberg.

 

[kskate2]

she's always been like that. She actually has a losing record against moonballers. I've seen Woz take her apart

 

[britbox]

She won Miami though... that was one of her best results.

 

[kskate2]

she kind of already has that Shawn. She's 6-0 in finals

 

[shawnbm]

I have seen it too, but with a thoughtful approach and mental strength she should be able to overcome the moonballers

 

[shawnbm]

Yes, Simona plays a quality game. Sloane now must step up and put it away

 

[shawnbm]

Nice forehand by Sloane

 

[kskate2]

yeah, put that dropshot away

 

[shawnbm]

Why the dropper???? Why?

 

[kskate2]

mental fart

 

[shawnbm]

Yes ma’am!!!

 

[britbox]

Tired shot.

 

[britbox]

Makes up for it though with that forehand ripper
