Tennis Thread: Australian Open 2019 & onwards..........

[magimedi]

Hope it's OK for me to start a new thread - could not believe we'd burned out on the last one.

Am looking forward to seeing highlights of the Fed/Tits match later.

At least she took it out on the ball.

This has everything now.

Blimey

Raahh

It's all going on now.

Happy Australia Day , Quantum if you are around, by the way!

(Although, I think it's something a lot of Aussies don't feel should be celebrated these days).

Gosh , this match has turned around.

Losing those champ points must be playing on Naomi's mind- but I hope the next set is a close one.

This is as good as I hoped it would be (without the need to sit onthe stairs).

Be really interesting to see what happens now... Can Osaka get it together??

So, Osaka seems the stronger one now.

What a match, eh?

Naomi looks drained.

She's got the advantage now - but I still don't know who's going to win...

It's really hard to tell who will win, even though Osaka is ahead.

I think we've seen too many tennis matches!! (If that's possible)

Come on Petra.

Maybe it's her poker face (mah mah mah mah)

Petra looks so calm. Must be a bit disconcerting for Naomi.

Yes, she's not showing anything, despite being on the back foot all the time.

And now it's deja vu . All over again. Naomi serving for the match.

Wow!

Well done Naomi, but brilliant match, but great from Kvitova to come back.

Aww - at least she gets to celebrate fully this time.

Sam saying everything we have been saying.

I feel for Petra, but she has played really well this tournament- perhaps not so well today at times.

That was an excellent final. So pleased for Naomi, and so glad that Petra is coming back well.

Tomorrow, I will not be feeling this calm.

But I hope I am celebrating the right result.

Aww, I bet the last thing she wants to do is speak. But so great that she is there again.
