Roland Garros / French Open 2023 [Women] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

The other match has started on Lenglen between Haddad Maia v Sorribes Tormo ( I am just SB this match)
Haddad Maia will serve for the 1st set 5-2 going to script like the other match Haddad Maia gets broken serving for the 1st set
Sorribes serving 3-5
Haddad Maia will try and serve for the 1st set a second time 5-4 and gets broken for a 2nd time?
Back on serve 5 games all 1st set
They say 3 times a charm, Bea will try to attempt to serve for the 1st set for a 3rd time,6-5 lets pray together!
Apparently God didnt hear our prayers and Bea was broken for a 3rd time
TB for the 1st set, this is poor at this level if you cannot serve out a 1st set in 3 attempts?
Sorribes Tormo controls the TB and wins the 1st set 76(3)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Pera dosent need to hit the ball to the lines, she has to watch her margins for starters,
The drop shots of Jabeur are just measured to perfection and she breaks Pera leads 3-1 2nd set, Jabeur really understands the dimensions of a tennis court
Jabeur leads 4-1 2nd set, Pera needs to control aggression on all her shots, BH is a big problem too many UFE
Jabeur breaks and will serve for the match 5-1, just a pleasure to watch is Ons, last year she went out in the 1st round
Ons Jabeur wins 63 61 in just over an hour and makes the QFs for the first time at RG. Well done Ons!
Nice stat for Ons she has now made the QFs of all the majors

Ons Jabeur will be sitting back and kind of laughing she will be playing the winner in this match I mean 2 all 3rd set and 3 hours lol!
Bea served for the 1st 3 times ? and lost the 1st set in a TB, mind you, she should be in the locker room an hour ago

Yes no Rybakina has made a huge difference on this half of the draw

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Yes no Rybakina has made a huge difference on this half of the draw

Almost feels like the Rafa withdrawal at the 2016 French Open.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Even if Rybakina didnt withdraw she would not won the title at RG this year,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Finally after 3 hours and 30 mins Bea will try to serve out the match 5-4 ( I thought she would win this match)
Bea dont do this, even if you win, Ons will tear you apart with this kind of level you are showing
Broken serving for the match, 5 games all 3rd set, poor level from both players quite frankly, if Sorribes win, she hasnt a chance against Ons in the QF

 

[the AntiPusher]

Someone's choking..SST is a fighter except whenever she used a code violation to won while playing doubles

 

[the AntiPusher]

Almost feels like the Rafa withdrawal at the 2016 French Open.

No way in hades is it the same as no Rafa! Not the same area or zip code

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Someone's choking..SST is a fighter except whenever she used a code violation to won while playing doubles

Still a lot of chat gone about that, still the rule is the rule even if you by accident you hit it is dismissal

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay the 2nd time Bea will serve for the match 6-5 Lets All Pray!
This match is heading towards the 4 hour mark lol!
Finally,
Haddad Maiad d Soribes Tormo 67 (3) 63 75 in a Painful Match to Watch

 

[Hoergren]

Well what a match between two female gladiators. After nearly 4 hours of play the Brazilian took the longest straw. The longest match this year on the womens tour.

Someone's choking..SST is a fighter except whenever she used a code violation to won while playing doubles

SST, good riddance. All the better if the next doubs team signs their walking papers.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gauff should have done more with that volley, Schmiedflova breaks her serve

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gauff will get a second chance to serve out the 1st set again 5-4

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Coco find your first serve please

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco nerves , and Schmiedlova she comes back from 2-5 down to 5 all

 

[kskate2]

This girl just dropped 4 consecutive games. I hope she finds a way to win this first set.
