***** Stosur vs. Schiavone In-Play Roland Garros Women's Final Match Thread *****

the only thing about schia in 2 is that we won't have sammy serving for the match, which is always fun

stosur was 1.4 sering for the match against henin...

if she was to lose this game - what would schia been in a stosur loving mkt

GSM

5-4

agree mitzi, maybe they both drink from the furry cup..

it's been a prett sound tactic to back the Aussie at over 2.0 then lay back.... didn't go back it in there, but can see her digging this one out in true Aussie battler fashion

ACEEEEEEEEEEEEE

agree mitzi, maybe they both drink from the furry cup..

i wonder if there's only one shower room after the match [:p]

aceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

schia 6 aces in this match, 9 in the entire tourney before final

40-0 KARLOVIC ON COURT

errr......

beautiful game

hahahaha nice to take a forehand return there

mugg

(if...) odds at 6-6 anyone?

evens

i thought this aussie bloke was meant to be good?

do u mean 6-6 (0-0) or 6-6 (6-1)  ?

weird match. Real traders, not 2-bob monkeys like me could have made a fortune

so easy

30-0

the winner is serving now

30-15

:)

i've not traded out of my original bet yet.....

i really cant at this price knowing that schia is only a tie-break away from winning me £800....even if she loses the tie-break i'll be able to take a (smaller!) profit!

this goes to a 3rd, so back Samosa above 2.0

tiebreakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

tb...anyone's this

1.75

1-00000000000000

good rally from sammy there

1-1111111111

aces, please

get the fook in

2-1111111

Don't want to be accused of being homophobic, there's nothing wrong in being gay.  I was a huge fan of Navratilova back in the day.

But Schiavone looks so masculine in physique (narrow hips compared to shoulders etc), very butch way of walking, etc.  She can't help her facial appearance but she looks like Frankie Dettori in drag IMO.

I know they do drug testing in tennis but do they do gender testing like that African athlete had to be submitted to?

I can't believe Francesca Schiavone is about to win a slam

2-2222222222222

have had to go red all round here Smaller red on the Italian

30 ticks for a point

:)

mb!

lol

Booooooooooom

HAHAHAHHA BAMBI PÅ HAL ISSSSSSSS

MÅNS MELKERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I can't believe Francesca Schiavone is about to win a slam

exactly!

come on you little beautiful(on the inside) Italian

shot

brilliant.

not only the strokes but her awareness.

calm down frank

next point is all you should be thinking about

Surprised. Thought Sam would have more guts in the tie break. Fair play to the Italian.

Only Dementieva deserves a Slam more than Fransesca

sammy did all the hard work with henin, serena...

matched at 320 outright

booooooooooooooooooooom

stosur's arm has been tight all match. don't expect it to relax for the breaker.

massive fh winner

too good

wow

4mppppppppppppppppppppppppp

great stuff

first class

She is no bottler

i'm a bit hungover and getting a bit emotional here

Just brilliant..

clapping

She should do the Tardelli celebration if she wins

clapping

awesome play

Fair play Sch, deserves this one 100%

GSM

1.25

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

yeeeessssss !!!

loooove the attitude. Awesome!

stosur... shittttttt

Thoroughly deserved.  Stosur owned.

well done francesca.

have to be honest i thought sam was going to walk it.

deserved....

stosur flew her family from the other side of the world to see that nerve riddled garbage

Normal physique: 2

Steroids: 0

one dimensional player with weaknesses and no experience + huge favourite, didn't work this time

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called "seizing the chance"

Great job Francesca!

flying your family in isn't a good idea if you're of a nervous disposition

only increases the pressure imo

but yes, big suprise

yeah, well done Francesca

inspired

Robin's family is staying home tomorrow watching the final on tv

what price was she at the start of the tornament

well played, well played indeed Lost 300 quid but didnt loose 1100 and im genuinely happy for her win

looks the sort to get pissed out of her face tonight, well done to her.

AMAZING I AM happy as never before :D

in terms of tournament and previous month's play...Sam deserved it hands down

But today...Schiavone..No doubt...bloody 12 year old italian boy

Respect to Francesca !!!!!

Sir Denis Eton-Hogg

stosur to win the first set - 100% bank job

this commencial on Eurosport International where they're singing in the kindergarden is really pissing me off, always have to press volume off or change the channel. Negative is, sometimes lose the 1st serve of the next service game.

Best national anthem

wat was her price to win 2 sets to 0

10 or 11s

Hopefully some followed me on Schiavone @ www.00tennis.com :-)

Unbelievable the amount of Aussie bottle jobs these days, used to be solid when on the brink

sch is like the drunk at a wedding with the mic

EASILY the best acceptance speach for a long time - winner - brilliance - stunning looking - and humble - go franny

have a fly in my room...Just get out ..the window is opennnnnnnnnnnnnnn...arghhh....piss off schiavone lol

I have a bit of a crush on franny after that speech. She's now my 3rd favourite italian sportslady after Flavia and the amazing fencer Margherita Granbassi.
