Bare bottom spanking ( mind out of the gutter ) so far. She can't manage to get Kvitova moving and Kvitova is just hitting right through her.

Carly · « **Reply #1801 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:36:11 pm »

Shes a nervous wreck.

Hayer · « **Reply #1802 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:37:02 pm »

Kvitova is a stranger player though. She can play the best tennis in one set and then the next set, she'll be an error machine.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #1803 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:37:22 pm »

Kvitova is normally streaky, incredible hitting at the minute though

b_joseph · « **Reply #1804 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:39:54 pm »

There you go. Probably still lose the set but a good game to boost the confidence.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #1805 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:41:11 pm »

Holding serve is obviously going to be the issue all match for Bouchard. There's not enough on it, Kvitova is just dining out

Hayer · « **Reply #1806 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:41:33 pm »

That return. This is seriously good from Kvitova.

Zizou · « **Reply #1807 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:51:26 pm »

Hate it when the matches are like this, no spark at all. Need Kvitova's form to nosedive for the sake of our entertainment.

Hayer · « **Reply #1808 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:52:47 pm »

Kvitova should really be winning more Grand Slams with a game like this. I don't see why she can't win a slam in the hard courts.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #1809 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:54:22 pm »

This is over.

Carly · « **Reply #1810 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:54:42 pm »

Well this has been boring.

Zizou · « **Reply #1811 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:54:47 pm »

Bouchard second best on almost every single point.

Hayer · « **Reply #1812 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:56:10 pm »

Bouchard looks stunned there sitting in the chair. Feel for her, but she'll certainly be winning multiple slams in the next 5 years. Especially now with Serena waning.

I want Eugenie to win but I think it has been great. Kvitova has been spectacular to watch.

Crowd needs to get behind her now though..dont want to see a love-set in a final.

Carly · « **Reply #1814 on:** July 5, 2014, 02:59:31 pm »

Looks to have given up now. Seriously need to make the womens game first to 3 sets.

Hayer · « **Reply #1815 on:** July 5, 2014, 03:01:08 pm »

This is so impressive. She's about to finish this in under an hour. 49 minutes and 5-0 ahead in the 2nd.

I don't think they're equipped for that.

Po The Panda · « **Reply #1817 on:** July 5, 2014, 03:07:48 pm »

What a final

seriously kvitova should pick up a few more slams ball bashing to the extreme.

Spectacular to watch, but I felt sorry for Bouchard

killer-heels · « **Reply #1820 on:** July 5, 2014, 07:49:54 pm »

Kvitova gave Bouchard a real Tennis lesson today. Was a pretty poor final in terms of quality though.

That was the argument made by a female pro on five live too. Surprised it was voiced. Got to make the final best of five though ...

Motty · « **Reply #1822 on:** July 5, 2014, 08:31:29 pm »

Not watched hardly any tennis this year but just caught the end of the men's doubles . Chuffed to bits for those 2 lads as I don't think any were expecting that result.

Some absurdly quality hitting by Kvitova today. Great player on her day.

Physically, what else? Have you seen the state of guys like Djokovic and Nadal towards the end of 5 set matches that get intense?

Somehow doubt Sharapova and Williams etc are going to be able to slug it out for 4+ hours in tough conditions, seeing as Sharapova complains of fatigue after 2 or 3 back to back 3 set matches and she's one of the best in the women's game.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #1825 on:** July 5, 2014, 11:18:41 pm »

Congrats to Kvitova.

So Djokovic v Federer. Can see Federer edging out Novak here.

From one side. Kvitova was unreal.

Would be absolutely made up if Federer wins today

only game ive managed to catch this year
not a bad one either

momo22 · « **Reply #1832 on:** July 6, 2014, 03:05:19 pm »

First set to Federer. No break points for either player in the first set.

Carly · « **Reply #1833 on:** July 6, 2014, 03:07:22 pm »

Like both these players but would love to see Federer get another Gram Slam just to reaffirm himself as the best of all time.

Think Federer will always be remembered as one of the greats even if he doesn't win here

Djokovic breaks.

Fitzy. · « **Reply #1836 on:** July 6, 2014, 03:36:23 pm »

Interesting high quality game but it's a bit mechanical to watch. Lack of any drama so far, which you get in spades with Murray.

momo22 · « **Reply #1837 on:** July 6, 2014, 03:47:16 pm »

Djokovic takes the second set.

Great set this. Incredible serving from both players. Tie-break.
