Amazing from Bartoli...Thanks for all the comments!<br /><br />Amazing from Bartoli, I am really happy for her, she deserved to win today :-)<br /><br />I feel flat after the match though, I really thought it was going to be a good one, but Sabine really struggled with the situation and that is completely understandable.<br /><br />Well done to those who went for Bartoli :-)Moo_1989https://www.blogger.com/profile/12180834523586029069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676460888821754977.post-39635578191215695142013-07-06T16:08:42.234+01:002013-07-06T16:08:42.234+01:00Wimbledon 2013 booked full of surprise.

Also Lisicki likes to play agressively in a happy-go-lucky way that my play right into Bartoli's game. But Lisicki should realize this early on in the match maybe at the cost of a break or even the first set. She won't accept Bartoli's superiority though and will evolve and adapt throughout the match meanwhile Bartoli's game is pretty much transparent to the spectators and hopefully to Lisicki as well. Moreover Bartoli will come up with no surprises-her first card is her last pretty much. Lisicki doesn't adapt as much as she can because playing this ultra agressive game gives her a 'high' but she can't be that dumb to not realize that she will have to search for solutions within the match. Not when so much is at stake. Also she won't be as intimidated by Bartoli as she was with the other players with a higher pedigree-esp Serena and Radwanska who jsut happened to be 2 very different players. She does have a danger for vanity but its also a source for her inspiration as well-lets not forget who she's had to knock out arriving to the final-as Moo pointed out a more nightmarish draw couldn't have been handed out to anyone. And the variety of the draw proves that she has what it takes...will she adapt or will she go in blind agressive mode which never was a great gamble for her in a tough game? The way I see Bartoli winning is if <br />Lisicki comes out in the first set expecting her A game to do all the talking=1st set for Bartoli and then she goes into a more desperate agressive mode which would give an easier second set to Bartoli as well. Somewher along the timeline of the first 2 sets Lisicki has to figure something out and the 3rd should favor Lisicki <br />being the more adaptable. So either Bartoli wins in 2 or Lisicki wins in 3-for me:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013538026689770295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676460888821754977.post-32567508034992549212013-07-05T23:04:06.008+01:002013-07-05T23:04:06.008+01:00Sabine is the form choice and irresistible pick an...Sabine is the form choice and irresistible pick and that is why I am going with Bartoli. Regardless of the H2H which is in favor of Lisicki, everything else favors Bartoli, especially the occasion. We have to remember that tournament mode Bartoli is a hyper active adrenaline player that can just get locked in the zone. Lisicki could find the game far beyond recall before she gets her smile together. I heard something disturbing on the BBC during Lisicki's semi-final with A. Rad. The commentator mentioned that Lisicki had talked about ultra confident she was of beating Radwanska and further more she felt that she was the star attraction that every one was coming to see. hmmmm! I hate bloated egos!!! I see Bartoli rushing her and taking everything on the rise in viscious swipe stylie. Lisicki has drifted a point from 4/9 -1/2 as I write. good luck all!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676460888821754977.post-30581927494755129862013-07-05T15:22:45.311+01:002013-07-05T15:22:45.311+01:00AAHhhhhhhhh Refreshing yes!! that is the word!
Ba...AAHhhhhhhhh Refreshing yes!! that is the word! <br />Bartoli's A game IS better than Sabine's at least at the baseline. Sabine should be careful-this is a tactical game of cat and mouse. She will come out fearless which she should do vs Bartoli but she should still be weary otherwise Bartoli might stuff a breadstick in her mouth faster than she could swallow and than she might not have time in the 2nd set and choke. But there is something epic about Sabine-and this time she really wants and believes in her winning this match. I think luck will go her way and there will be plenty of netcords to talk about-the last one belonging to Sabine! But kudos to Bartoli too! it will be a great match no matter what!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013538026689770295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676460888821754977.post-48064091888921872682013-07-05T14:02:39.621+01:002013-07-05T14:02:39.621+01:00My 2 favourite players, and just about the 2 nices...My 2 favourite players, and just about the 2 nicest. Bartoli, if she can avoid her nerve problems and double faultathons, when she is in the zone she plays at a higher level than I've seen from Lisicki, can't trust her though, she's so wound up she can burst a spring at any moment. fred nerknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676460888821754977.post-40423887030039109262013-07-05T11:46:43.792+01:002013-07-05T11:46:43.792+01:00I'm also going for Lisicki and I would like he...I'm also going for Lisicki and I would like her to win because her run to the final was much more difficult than Bartoli's, with higher-profile opponents, including the mighty Serena.Marijahttp://www.womenstennisblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
