2021 Women's Wimbledon Championships

[GameSetAndMath]

Just tuning in; did anyone fall so far today?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Amon the 9 players considered as contenders by bookies, 3 have lost so far: Serena, Kvitova and Bianca.

The other 6 listed in pecking order: Barty > Sablenka > Garbage; Iga; Coco > Rybakina.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Sablenka now in control of second set with a break up.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Lesia Tsurenko and Danka Kovinic withdrawn from singles draw.They will be replaced by Astra Sharma and Tsvetana Pironkova.(both ladies were defeated in their singles matches).

That is sad. I was rooting for Pironkova to make some noise.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Sabalenka to serve for second set at 5-3.

Her toss is so high, I often wonder whether the ball will escape the gravity.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Sablenka holds (although needed to save a BP). Now it is even-steven.

But I think Sablenka will get it done now. I am not going to watch this match anymore.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Azrenka and Kasatikin won their matches. Hope they can go deep.

 

[Hoergren]

Another fine win for Swiatek

Back from my nap,

I see Sabalenka had to win in 3 sets,
Good wins from Azarenka who had a injury cloud over her in straight sets.Earlier I thought Andresscu would have a tricky match in her opponent Cornet,she lost in straight sets.

Venus Williams on court now against Jabeur.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In a tightly contested 1st set Ons wins the 1st set from Venus 7-5

 

[Fiero425]

Another fine win for Swiatek

OMG, Vera again? "We thought you were dead!" How does she rate entry into a major after all these yrs? Now Venus down a set & 2 Brks!

Vera has had a baby girl a few years ago and decided to come back to the WTA

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ons Jabeur one of the 'in form players' has defeated Venuc Williams 75 60
Venus will be playing mixed doubles with Aussie Nick K.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

On court 5....match between S.Roger vs M.Sakkari.(15)....Rogers won the 1st set 7-5 has now been suspended...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just watching the 2nd set between Sloane Stephens and Kristie Ahn
Sloane won the 1st set 75....hopefully this match will be completed before the light gets too bad
Sloane leads 5-3 2nd set
I have never seen soo much tape on Ahn's left arm
Sloane with MP UFE from Ahn fhand

Well done Sloane after defeating Kvitova,backs it up with a straight sets win over Ahn 75 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

AF if you are still around.....I have spent most of my time on the Upset Corner post today seeds going out left right and centre
Hopefully tomorrow things will settle down......

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW,
This is the first time that neither Serena nor Venus Williams has advanced past the second round at Wimbledon,when both have played the tournament ( all things considered it has been an amazing run).

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Seven seeds fell today, including three from top 10.

Altogether, half of the top 10 seeds have been ousted. The top three, Iga and Garbage are the remaining ones.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

AF,

Just counted how many seeds were outed today....seven seeds,also 3 from the Top 10
As I posted earlier,hopefully tomorrow things will calm down

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Unfortunately, three players thought of as contenders (Iga, Garbage and Aryna) are in the same quarter.
