Serena playing much better today. If she can get that serve where it needs to be before Wimbledon, she could make some players nervous.

See Miss Margaret, she said she played with her baby. She needs to be out practicing singles

Leave Serena Alone, she knows what she is doing, by the way Ons/Serena never dropped serve

 

[Hoergren]

Onsrena did it again and a little bit better so what can it be- they seem to be happy about it. 6 deciding points in second set

Great catch

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Serena was asked a few times in her press conference about those black type tapes on her face, she quickly changed the subject.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena/ Ons will play Krunic/Linette in their s/final doubles match

Serena Williams out of Eastbourne after doubles partner Ons Jabeur withdraws with knee injury

 

[Ellentonboy]

Just about to post about that match, Garbine's season continues to go south, she also had her old wrist problem back again, I still feel with Garbine a lot of it is to do is 'mental' Camila wins 75 63, Garbine was ahead in that 1st set as well.

Yes, Garbine has really been struggling this season. To be honest, I was not surprised by the outcome. I was glad to see Camilla followed it up with a win over Tomova this morning. That was a match most would expect her to win, glad she managed to keep the double faults to a minimum. Should be interesting semifinal if Ostapenko gets through her match today. You never know what to expect from her, lol.

Serena Williams out of Eastbourne after doubles partner Ons Jabeur withdraws with knee injury

That is a shame, they looked great in their win yesterday. Certainly better than their first match. Hopefully Ons will be okay for Wimbledon.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well I had Ons as a one of the favorite's to win Wimbledon this year, as I said before I do not like players, playing tournaments soo close to a Major, Ons to me had enough practice on grass, I know Serena asked her to play doubles, of course noone would give up the change to play with Serena, still I hope Ons will be okay as Wimbledon starts next week

Ladies Singles Final, Saturday,

J.Ostapenko (8) defending champion vs P.Kvitova (14).....first grass court final for Petra since Birmingham 2018.

Kvitova won. TBH, anyone who wore a kit as ugly as the one Ostapenko did fully deserves to have lost. What was anyone thinking there?
