2021 Wimbledon SF: Karolina Pliskova vs. Aryna Sabalenka

[tented]

I am surprised that Pliskobot managed to pull this one.

I thought finally we will have a WTA GS final pitting #1 vs. #2 and it turned out that is not to be.

Does anyone know when was the last time such a thing happened in WTA GS.

About 1605 ... BC.

Seeing I was called into work at 7pm I missed both s/finals I will re-watch later today
I think people under estimated Pliskova,she had only lost one set of tennis before the s/final
I have met her personally at Sydney tournament she is a 'Zen' type person and delightful.

Ash Barty will not loose more than a total of 6 games to the Twin stiff

We shall see I just soo excited that Ash has got to the final,it has been her dream,she won the Junior title at Wimbledon,always touted as a player with her skills that could win on the grass.

OK, the actual answer:

2018, Australian Open. Wozniacki (2) d. Halep (1)

OK, the actual answer:

2018, Australian Open. Wozniacki (2) d. Halep (1)

That is only about three years ago; but psychologically, it feels as though it would have been long time ago (with all those upsets happening again and again).

That was a great match

And the time previous to that was the 2015 Auzzie Open. At the start of the tournament it was a 4 way race for #1 between Serena, Pova, Simo and P3tra. Whoever won the title would claim #1. Serena defeated Maria in straight sets to retain #1 and Pova stayed at #2.
