First-seeded and two-time defending champion Björn Borg successfully defended his tennis title at the 1980 French Open, defeating Vitas Gerulaitis 6–4, 6–1, 6–2 in the final to win his fifth French title after 1974, 1975, 1978 and 1979. Borg went through the entire tournament, which featured 17 of the top 20 players, without dropping a set; this would not be achieved by a man at a Grand Slam event again until Roger Federer at the 2007 Australian Open.

I am actually surprised Iga is a big as she is outright. The odds suggest Petra will be fav.
|

By:
what the hell is Inverdale talking about now?
|
|
By:
the winner of Kenin and Petra will be feeling they have one hand on the trophy if they win today

Yer just Tweeted he's having a laugh surely.

no, it's the same thing he did with Konta vs Marketa. He just looks at the ranking.

I think Iga too big outright atm, I think she should be like 1.7.

I know he's just a mug of course. But it's an unbelievable statement. I mean he has actually been watching Swiatek's at least last 3 matches unless he literally doesn't watch the tennis ITV are showing. There's one thing claiming Halep will win easy and so on because he almost certainly won't have heard of Iga before, but there's another thing altogether to make out the final will be a walkover after he's just seen Iga dish out 3 straight beatdowns.

Björn Borg defeated Ilie Năstase in the final, 6–4, 6–2, 9–7 to win the Gentlemen's Singles tennis title at the 1976 Wimbledon Championships. Borg was the first man in the Open Era to win a Wimbledon singles title without dropping a set. Arthur Ashe was the defending champion, but lost in the fourth round to Vitas Gerulaitis.
Dropped 70 games in that run R1 David Lloyd 63 63 61 R3 Marty Riessen 62 62 64 R3 Colin Dibley 64 64 64 R4 Brian Gottfried 62 62 75 QF Guillermo Vilas 63 60 62 SF Roscoe Tanner 64 98(7-1) 64 F Ilie Nastatse 64 62 97 |

Yer the gag used to be how many games you'd drop week 1, and often in Graf's case it's like 3 first 3 rounds, then maybe a couple R4, but often many more later. Iga's scores have been near identical since R1, indeed it's Hsieh and Bouchard who have taken the most games off her. The higher ranked players actually took the least (Halep and Vondrousova both 3).

Never mind eat out to help out, now it's spunk out to help out

Neil! Inverdale needs putting in a small room with Iga fans for his disrespect.

It's interesting how much they're hyping Petra's form, has she really been that good, her draw has been very nice. Still got to win the matches of course, but it's not been that impressive.

He will be eating his words most likely on Saturday bob. I do think Iga wins.

Rennae Stubbs @rennaestubbs
· 38m I asked @iga_swiatek who her idols were growing up on @espn. She said she didn’t really model her game after anyone or have an idol. She said “ I learned tennis playing on my play station” !! I swear to god! Her words! Face with tears of joy @Sony are u listening! (we know she loves @RafaelNadal ) |

Kenins skirt very short. Is she trying to gain the males fans showing a bit of bum cheek. Does look a nice rear tho tbh.
|
|
By:
Iga 1.93 outright now, very surprising.
|
|
By:
Petras a big name like Halep.
|

By:
Doubt Petra gets near thr final tho tbh.

Funny how the market rated Petra so highly on clay.

The power of Inverdale's ramping.
|

By:
I wish every big tournaments market was like this. I have basically disagreed with most of the major prices. One of them thats bitter sweet. Your happy your book is zinging but wish you would have trusted your judgement with more gusto.

I wish we had major tennis every week for sorta that reason.

Major tennis norm delivers the true muggiest prices.

Like i backed Iga at 50 s with decent stakes and bits and bobs lower but wish i would have gone heavier just before the halep match started as she drifted back out to 30s from low 20s
|
|
By:
I think you want Kenin to win this if you're on Iga outright.
|
|
By:
Well Halep was a big favourite I suppise and I didnt see it playing out actually as well as it has.
|
|
By:
I think the total opposite is true ;).
