2019 Australian Open Final: Naomi Osaka vs. Petra Kvitova

[tenisplayrla08]

Kvitova just trusted her serve to hold those 3 match points and never looked back. Classic. Back up against the wall? Freedom comes and your best game can show up again.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Understandable,I think it is the best thing for her to leave the court,collect her thoughts

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Doesn't always get you out of the whole completely. But it did tonight.

 

[kskate2]

trying to remember who had CP's in a slam and lost. give me a min

 

[tenisplayrla08]

I'm not gonna lie. I wouldn't have minded being able to go to sleep. But still rooting for Kvitova. Glad she's still got a chance.

 

[tented]

Only one comes to mind: 04 RG.

 

[britbox]

Yeah, Coria v Gaudio

 

[kskate2]

there's some more recent than that. Davenport at Wimby 05

 

[Federberg]

5 games in a row now

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Though. At this point. It's so hard for me to root against Osaka. Fantastic play from her for a set and a half. But Kvitova has been right there. Never gave up.

 

[Federberg]

I actually feel like P won those critical points more than N lost them. But this game is huge. Got to stop the rot

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Yeah I'd say Davenport against Venus and Medvedev vs Agassi (though I'm not sure he got to match point).

 

[britbox]

Hingis v Capriati

 

[kskate2]

that's a good one Baron

 

[Moxie]

Aside from title, is #1 at stake in this match?

 

[AnonymousFan]

yes

 

[kskate2]

good hold for N

 

[britbox]

Yep, big stakes match.

 

[kskate2]

yes mox

 

[Moxie]

Nice regroup from Naomi. Thanks AF, btw.
