Both in great form, based on their last match.
Sharapova has not lost a set this tournament. The only sets she has lost this year are against na li and williams- the only matches she has also lost this year.
Their h2h is 11-2, and 4 - 0 in the past 12 months. The last 4 have been have been straightforward wins for williams
I think this will continue, serena to win and in 2 sets

She doesn't. This match was their for the taking but Maria has blown it.
Now serena is too high, 5 games ina row and counting. Thats because all the early serena backers in fiorst set, trying to green out now, keeping the prize high.
a veteran like sharapova should not be blowing this leads
>Come on beaty dont blow the break, should have been easely 40-0
the wind means the ball will land so short for serena, easy putaway
That sharp crosscourt forehand is really helping Serena.
I bet there were a lot of Serena backers panicking after the blackout and lumping on Shazza.
luckily i woke up at 5pm and got on at start of third set on serena
I had kinda given up on my bet tbh. I don't even have Serena at good prices lol. Have like 1.38.

feared my money for not being able to touch it, but didn't changed sides
ha that was absolutely village.
women's tennis FINAL at it's best

how early was the break in the 2nd set? did she consolidate it?
And wouldn't be surprising if she doesn't win another game tbh.
nice to tune into this match with serena hitting 5's. Backed that and it's been all one way traffic since then. 
Earlier in this match Maria was hardly making any UE. She's a UE machine now.
what happened here is what i was EXPECTING from djokovic vs haas...didnt materialise though
Haas had what very few women players have, if any, and what few male players have. Mental fortitude to push on when he was in dreamland.
Is anyone going to win with a worse position than mine of just a lump on @ 1.38 lol.

exactly what got him the win. had he had average mental strength of an atp player, i am sure djoko would havecome back and won
This is exactly why though I heavily disagree with this idea that Maria Sharapova is some mental giant. She has completely folded here, yet TV always tell us there's no1 mentally tougher.

probably cos of all the on-court antics. screaming etc
Maria Sharapova's mental toughness is a span up myth to me that comes mainly from her battles vs mugs. Normally all self-inflicted. She folds completely vs the top players time after time.
She might be mentally stronger than the rest of the tour but that's not hard. But the likes of Azarenka and Williams are certainly mentally stronger than her.
About to be 10 games straight since Sharapova went up set and break. ouch

amazing 
LAST 3 MATCHES SHES DONE THIS,PRICE DRIFTS WAY OUT ,THEN MIRACULOUSLYSTARTS PLAYING WELL,DO FOR ME.

Her mental toughness aura comes from days like when the wind is heavy and she gets in a 3-set mugfest with 20 breaks of serve with someone ranked 30. But really mental toughness should be measure by how you are in the BIG moments, and time after time Maria has not delivered.
And I bet Sharapova has won about 10 points in total during those 10 games.
serena WAS GOAT before this match. there is no debate. best female player of all time
sharapova was a way better player in her younger days
The last 10 games has been some of the best tennis I've seen Serena play. Astonishing considering the end of the first set
getting baggeled in the finalo must be absolutely devestating LOL
I find it funny that coach comes into court and motivates pova and tells her amazing never miss tactics and she just gets broken right away and collapses... coincidence?
Obviously Serena is great, but I seriously don't even think she got that much better in this match. It wasn't like Cibulkova where she seriously upped her level. The match was there for the taking for Maria and she blew it, her level went off a cliff.
Hogstedt always makes me laugh. Normally his tactics in on court coaching is "she will choke.". He didn't try that one today though.

she was already feeling blue, he might not read it and pushed the wrong bottons even further
my return to this thread is jinxing it, I'm leaving again
He was probably fighting an impossible battle tbf. Maria's head is probably so in the washing machine that it was beyond repair in 2 minute change of ends.
wonder how maria takes this. on the one hand she won her first set against serena in five years, on the other hand she's about to lose ten games in a row.
williams is a monster.
well done masha though. an outstanding four weeks of tennis from her.

It's gotta be tough to take. You'd have to be pretty strong to try and spin this into a positive now despite taking a set. It would be easy if the 3rd set was 6-4 to take positives. But the positives now seem few and far between.
i was very wary of the possibility of pova having baught this event just like she baught indian wells but when serena broke in the 3rd i went all went all in on her @1.21 with 1900
Plesse tell me the lowest odds of Shara inplay, thx a lot
Not sure, but I would say around 1.25/1.3 since she was a set and break ahead
Thx, but I read in the thread 4-6 2-0 and thought Serena went 2-0 up in the second?? Shara was 6-4 2-0??? Has she been traded at 1,25?? Greets

lol maria
lol maria
That interview is full of gems, that's just one of them. One point she goes through about 9 questions not understanding the question and doesn't even end up answering it. Maria has lost it if she thinks Wimbledon is her best chance.
another try, has anybody traded Shara at 1,25 or lower? please, thx
lower, need to check my records for the exact numbers
why do you ask?
why do you ask?
because I wanted to put a lay at 1,25 on Shara, and had not plenty of time to do it - I was not at home and so i dont put it. now i wanted to know if she touchted 1,25. greets
shazza was @1.24
what's the difference now? you won't change anything. or maybe you have time machine to go back in time?
