Day 14- Women's Singles Final

I know that the women's game is not highly regarded on here, but I thought that I would create a thread for the women's final all the same.

Sharapova has broken Errani for a 2-0 lead. Errani is understandably tight in her first FO final and Maria looks like she is on a mission.

Sharapova breaks agaon for a two break lead in the first set.

Errani has no chance, she's serving at Andy Murray 2nd serve pace. Sharapova eating it for breakfast.

Seles is in the Federation box, alongside the President. Seles I believe is the grunting pioneer. I wonder if she is rooting for the shrieker, Sharapova.

Heh, yeah she holds the Trademark for shrieking. Nicely remembered Kemet.

Yep, the whole debacle started with her. Could have been nipped in the bud.

Sharapova is up a set and a break. This could be over in twenty minutes.

Feels like I am living next to a whorehouse.

Seles and Errani actually look quite similar. Obvious not too similar in talent, still she did well to make the final. Shara won't lose today in this form.

Hahahah. Sounds are amazing I must admit, all the variates present, especially the ones before the final kick of the ball.

I just saw the point of the match at 2-0, 30-0 (Errani is serving).

Errani chick is trying hard. I reckon she will win at least 3 games in the second. I will sacrifice an arm and a leg if she doesn't.

...not mine.

Errani is a warrior for winning the doubles and maing the singles final, she just doesn't have what it takes to win a slam.

Some say the womens game is weak, but I think it is very strong and powerful. Analysing their grunts there is no doubt it sounds quite "violent" almost like a form of marshal arts. Nowadays the players are at least 5 ft 11", muscular and athletic.

Errani is an odd make with the face of Andrea Pirlo and legs of Na Li.

Oeehhh --- Aahhhhh
Oeehhh --- Aahhhhh
Oeehhh --- Aahhhhh
Oeehhh --- Aahhhhh
Oeehhh --- Aahhhhh

One thing to be said regarding Sharapova, she has always been a trier, she hasn't done a Kournikova, but has maintained her love and dedication to the game.

Although I can't stand much the grunts, I blame those in control for not getting on top of it, rather than the players.

Kinda wished Stosur had beaten Errani now, this is really a simple match up for Shara.

I am listening to the match over the radio, and in a long rally it sounds like a wild axe-woman swinging an axe: Wa-eeee ... and a woman victim Aahhhhh ...........Wa-eeee ............. Aahhhhhh .............. Wa-eeee ................ Aahhhhhhh

She does kinda look like Pirlo. She also looks like Gianluigi Buffon a little.

It seems Sharapova will win while Errani will gain invaluable experience. One cannot deny Sharapova a deserving career slam.

Must be a good chance Sharapova will cry if and when she wins.

The way Shara got off to fast starts in both sets and controlled the game, I expect the same tomorrow from Rafail. Both players have simply outmatched their opponents through the 2 weeks.

Excellent point there Errani.

GASP

Drop shot supreme.

She wins then, far too much power for the diminutive Italian.

Shara gets it, played much better then Errani.

Congratulations to Maria. Errani hung in there and competed, but as Josiah said, too much power for the Italian, especially on the groundstroke exchanges.

Sharapova wins

Errani looked very very short when next to Sharapova.

So she completes a career grand slam now.

Worthy winner, Maria.

Yes, she is more like a Buffon than a Pirlo.

Seles seems to have lost 50kg. Looking fit & young.

Seles looks to be in better shape now than in her playing days.

She is looking gorgeous. I wonder if she's single...

polished_man will be the guy in the know.

She's not married, so good luck.

Maria is very smart, attempting to speak in French.

Is Maria sporting a mustache these days? Is this the key to her rejuvenation?

Ahem. Not quite "50 kg" but I take your point.

Always did have a bit of a soft spot for the original grunter and nice to see her looking so relaxed. We all know (for what it's worth) Sharapova wouldn't have had a prayer against those Seles groundstrokes. Those were indeed the days for those of us lucky enough to remebert hem well.
