2024 Women's Wimbledon Championships

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another impressive performance from Elina Svitolina who really has found her game at Wimbledon defeating Wang 62 61
Well done Elina!

 

[the AntiPusher]

My scrub Svitolina has a big test vs Rybakina.. I am picking Rybakina to win.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good timing back from my Nana Nap,

Match between Collins v Krejcikova has just started on court no 1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

As I thought Ostapenko defeated Putintenseva in straight sets 62 63
Looking at Osta's stats she was pretty much on in all departments as I could not stay awake for her match, needed a nap

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is a great stat for Womens Doubles at Wimbledon!,


Su-Wei Hsieh has now won 21 straights doubles matches at Wimbledon!, Hsieh is just magic to watch a on tennis court
!

Collins is being coached by Ryan Harrison...lol

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Banshee is in a tight battle at present with Barbora 5 all

 

[tossip]

Krejcekova is a player that can get hot from nowhere.She can beat anyone when she is in the mood.At this event she has not been on the radar...but she is a force when she is on fire.Ignore her at your own peril...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Some loose fhand errors from The Banshee and Barbora takes the 1st set 75

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Banshee loses her break with a DF things not going as planed at present for The Banshee in the 2nd set
Banshee had the trainer out upper leg problem .

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Babora serviing for the match 5-2, The Banshee ground strokes has let her down in this match up, gotta give credit to Babora her play in the 2nd set has been the best I have seen her play in sometime
Not to be as The Banshee breaks Barbora serving for the match 3-5 and The Banshee is serving
Barbora breaks straight back and wins the match 75 63

 

[tossip]

Barbara is a dangerous floater..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Barbara is a dangerous floater..

Well this is the first time this year, she has played well

 

[shawnbm]

Sad to see the Banshee lost--was pulling for her.

Same, that upper leg injury in the 2nd set didnt help her cause sad to say

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Talk in the ladies locker room ( via Ostapenko) the consensus is that the grass this year is more slippery than ever, also more so when the roof is closed

 

[shawnbm]

^ perhaps all the more reason to serve and volley??? I would not necessarily do it all the time and not as much against Novak, but it can still work me thinks. I could see Jasmine and Emma doing some of that.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Womens QFs are set,

Rybakina vs Svitolina
Miss Sun vs Vekic
Navarro vs Paolini
Ostapenko vs Krejcikova

Order of Play for Wimbledon, Day 9 QF Round, July 9, 2024

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ladies QFs Bottom Half Of The Draw,

J.Paolini (7) vs E.Navvaro (19) Emma is now Darren Cahills favorite new player! H2H Navarro 3-0 all on HC. This is their first meeting on grass.

Can the super cool, cool as a cucumber Emma continue to win through to her first Wimbledon SF? quite frankly I think she can, Emma has improved her overall game this year, her net play is just one example.Emma dismantled Naomi Osaka's game, she played a wonderful tactical match against the No 2 Coco Gauff though I must say Gauff wasnt much of a threat to Emma in their match, remained stead fast in her belief she could win and she did.

Jazz Paolini has surprised herself this year on the grass, never been her best surface, she has showed at Wimbledon her game translates to all surfaces making her first QF, she cannot commit the amount of UFE on her bhand as she did in her match against Keys, who was serving for the match and picked up an adductor injury and sad to say had to retire, Jazz in ways was lucky? though luck favors the brave dosent it? win or lose that wonderful smile always comes shining through in her matches.

Miss L.Sun vs Donna Vekic,

Miss Sun a qualifer has been the 'revelation' at this yesr's Wimbledon tournament,, she becomes the first New Zealander in Wimbledon's QFs in the Open Era, she hasnt looked back since defeating the No 8 seed Zheng in her first match, she dismanlted Emma Raduncanu and blew her off the court, with 59 winners, I feel Raducanu took Miss Sun too lightly and paid the price.
Miss Sun is aggressive and won take a back ward step. Can she win a place in the SF at Wimbledon and continue this incredible run as a qualifer I beleive she can.

Donna Vekic has always loved the grass, was a runner up recently at the Bad Homburg tournament, her coach Pam Shriver knows and understands grass play, which has really benefited Vekic's belief as Donna has struggled to find her form after injuries, she toughed it out in a rain delayed match which went for 71/2 hours against Badosa in her last match, she she is one tough young woman and wont take Miss Sun lighty.
