2016 French Open

[nuraman00]

Stosur down a set, and down 5-4 in the 2nd.

Was rooting for Stosur. I don't mind either Muguruza or Stosur, just wanted to see a veteran in Stosur have another shot at the title.

Serena vs Muguruza

Muguruza.

Bryan Bros into the French Open finals

I think Stosur had a slightly better chance to beat Serena.

Serena is 3-1 against Muguruza, and besides the 1 win, none of the other matches were even close.

Garby can take a huge step forward. A bigger one would be at Wimby. She usually does well at the French and then goes away for the other majors. She has everything she needs. Still, this is probably the opportunity for Serena to tie Steffi. She is getting on and it is starting to show, but she has looked good up until the last 2 matches. It will come down to if she has anything left and whether her opponent can stand firm and not wilt under the pressure.

This will be a great challenge to Serena as Garbine knows she has beaten Serena handily in 2014, 6-2,6-2. Serena better come with her aces sizzling otherwise.

That French Open final was probably the highest-quality women's match in at least a decade. With the technological advances, it might be the highest quality match ever. The only real weakness was the double faults. The groundstroke rallies were intense. And Garbine probably became the first woman to beat an in-form Serena in a slam final.

 

[cezero]

Serena will need to start working on just about every part of her game more, or this is going to keep happening.

She can't just depend on the serve anymore.

Nice seeing new blood win. I like Muguruza.

 

[Hs0022]

As i predicted. Muguruza wins.

 

[Hs0022]

Nole.

Agreed. We might have just seen a changing of the guard after a straight sets win. Garby didnt really play her best but she managed to overcome her issues to beat a legend.

Will like to see Garby start making finals in the other slams. As I mentioned earlier, she does well at the French so its not a surprise here. She just needed to keep her nerves in check. I expect a good result at Wimby too. Its on hard courts she seems to struggle for some reason.

Damn Bryan Bros about to lose in the final set vs the non lopez brothers. Bad day for Americans vs the Spanish today. First Serena and now this

After pulling out the tiebreaker in the second set and facing match point, they seems to be a bit flat. They spent way too much time hitting directly at Feliciano. The guy kept putting away ball after ball. Newsflash!, pro players dont miss many when they know the ball is coming to them. Its not club tennis. need to mis it up way more. Wasted opportunity.

Yeah disappointing. Hoping they're able to win at Wimby or the US Open

Congratulations, Garbine.

You will predict anybody against Serena to win. It is not like anything earth-shattering.

Novak break Andy in the first game of the match.
