Rachel has clearly never watched a slam in her life, if she didn't know about all gthe kerfuffle before (some) finals.

I hate TNT Grin

I forgot the women's doubles started so early, and have been out with the dog.

Glad to see that Sara and Jasmine are already doing well.

It's also nice to see, that even though it's early, there are quite a few people there. Many of the early matches (even finals) have been sparsely attended.

That probably says a lot about the popularity of Errani and Paolini.

i seem to have jinxed the Italians- they were doing better when I wasn't watching.

Sara's serve is proving the weak link today.

OP posts:
Raahh · 08/06/2025 11:46

I think that's the first set they have dropped.

Sara really needs to hold here, or all that work will be for nothing.
No pressure!

Raahh · 08/06/2025 12:16

This set is going their way now.
Forza!

Aargh I forgot it was on now

Raahh · 08/06/2025 12:20

It caught me out, Jane not sure why it had to start quite so early really.

A great match. Also feel Paolini has been the force here. Often think it is Sara.

JaneJeffer · 08/06/2025 12:25

Well done Italia!

Raahh · 08/06/2025 12:25

Forza!!

Some wobbles in the middle- but well done Sara and Jasmine.

OP posts:
AuroraCake · 08/06/2025 12:26

Ah Sara!

Raahh · 08/06/2025 12:27

Yes, it was definitely Jasmine who held them together today.

Fantastic week Sara has had though- and a lovely moment for them both.

Good for her. I think she needed it. Such an underestimated player. Often I feel because ahe is bouncy and cute. But aich a competitor. Well done. Fantastic for all!

Raahh · 08/06/2025 12:29

Sara really is enjoying a 'second' career.

Sara really is enjoying a 'second' career.

Another extremely underestimated player. She has had revival with her two new partners. Nearly ten years after her initial doubles and singles successes.

Nice speech Grin

She is Grin And she's making sure she gets her moment.

Aww. Sara.

Beautiful speeches from all. Show them how it it done. Great moment given to Sara.

Raahh · 08/06/2025 12:47

Really lovely speeches .

I might do some ironing before the men's final.

I don't want to listen to Rachel for an hour.
