2014 French Open Final: Sharapova vs. Halep

[Correspondent Kiu]

5 breaks of serve in the first set, Maria got 3, Simo got 2

 

[nehmeth]

Murat... was thinking the same thing. Let Maria win the first set, lose the next two.

Hi Nehmeth!

 

[nehmeth]

WTA serve stats Kiu. Oops, thats right Im in the WTA forum

 

[nehmeth]

Good morning everyone.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

[Moxie]

Its been good tennis, though. Hey, nehmeth

 

[nehmeth]

Enjoyable yes...

 

[Murat B.]

Hi Nehmeth

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well, she gave Maria a lot of confidence the serve has picked up. She really needed to take advantage of Marias serve nerves

 

[tented]

Love hold. H. needs to get it together ASAP to have a chance. Marias a great frontrunner.

Simona needs a quality start in this set

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Or she will be run over by the bus!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Hold Simona! This pains me that she really is playing decent, but not like the player she was before the final.

 

[nehmeth]

Was conflicted on who to root for. I met Haleps coach when I was very young and she was playing the Virginia Slims

 

[nehmeth]

She took the time to stop and give me her autograph.

 

[shawnbm]

Great point from the Russian. Quality there

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

come on

 

[nehmeth]

Both girls hitting great shots.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

These deuces are killing Simona as she isnt playing them well
