Venus serving well, though missing shots off the ground, Ostapenko wins the 1st set 63
Venus is taking a MTO and going off court, struggling with her knee at present, 2 all 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Venus back on court and still fighting broke Opstapenko back on serve in the 2nd set Venus serving at 3-4 , sigh broken
Venus still not done and breaks Ostapenko serving for the match 5-4, I must say Venus serve is the best I have seen it in sometime, sad she picked up the knee injury in her previous match
5 games all
Ostapenko will serve to force a TB in the 2nd set , Vee 6-5, Ostapenko could not believe any of her ground shots missed? lol! glares at the linespeople

 

[tossip]

Wow she took the second set from penko..She is in that mode.Lets go queen Vee!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Venus the Warrior on one leg, wins the 2nd set 75, after having a MTO early in the 2nd set, fought hard to win the 2nd set
Going 3 sets, Ostapenko not a Happy Camper at all lol! she loves to call her own lines in every match, though she can go off as we have seen in many of her matches in the past and present

Venus breaks Ostapenko early in the 3rd set leads 2-0

Especially where they don't have Hawkeye or electronic line calling. It's back to the olden days of trusting the lines people to get it right every time

 

[tossip]

The queen is here!

 

[tossip]

The fans are really cheering her on.At forty three years young Vee still has it.

Yes though Ostapenko likes to call her lines even with electronic calling,lol! she also told umpire Cicak, who is one of my favorite umpires, told her that she will never umpire her again lol! because she over ruled a decision, btw Cicak was correct

 

[kskate2]

Vee is going to lose this. You have to put Osta away when she is donating points like early in the decider.

 

[tossip]

The commentary othat I am watching is very biased.The person wants penko to win,saying brilliant,cerebral shot.. lol

 

[tossip]

It's that leg..damn it

 

[tossip]

It's not over until it's over..

I'm listening to Annacone and Petch. They are very fair and borderline cheering for Vee

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bad luck Venus, on one leg, gave it her all, defeated in 3 sets 63 57 63 by Ostapenko
Rest that knee/ leg, Vee and be ready for Wimbledon

 

[tossip]

Well ..Vee played ok for someone nursing an injury.

I mean who could think she would be this competitive at 43 on one leg

I am listening to something I found on livesvorehunter

Agree, many people would have retired ,Vee had to go off court early for a MTO,in the 2nd set, she came back and won it 75
