yeah, just switched to the channels and could't believe it that nobody had it on.
Problem is she won't. It's not the first time her serve cost her the match.
True. I'm so gutted for Aga, given her career she deserves a slam a lot more than Lisicki who is going to be in a slump until this time next year.
Yeah but look at who she has played, easy draw. Not saying she won't win though.
Both saved the same amount of break points. Yes, Aga's 2nd serve is a weakness but on the other hand Lisicki had 7 DF. The game could have gone either way, it's just a shame Aga was already a break up in the final set but it's dicey for her because there's always a chance of a bad service game of being out-powered by the opponent.

The toughest opponent she's faced was the 17 seed, meanwhile Lisicki beat the 1 and 4 seed. Amount of sets given up means fuck all.
Why don't you have Sky? Stop being cheap.

Gotta spend all that taxpayer money on the Tour de France and wintersports.
Do ARD and ZDF still show the TdF? I thought they stopped with that nonsense.
Her only advantage is, that she was in a major final before. And that's basically it.

Instead they outbid other channels for the Champions League rights.

There's being understandably disappointed/sad/angry at yourself because you lost, and then there's being disrespectful to the opponent. I didn't actually see this at the time.
Was this the proper context? Or did she have an actual reason for turning around?
Heh, if she's meant to be a slam champion, she needs to bounce back and create another opportunity for herself. Murray had many such crushing losses and he eventually got one.
The problem is that the current, and what seems to be the future, field is dominated by big hitters and power players. Naturally Aga is going to struggle with those kind of players and she'll probably need to win back-to-back matches against those types of players in a slam to get to the final\win.
That's why today was a golden opportunity. Also, Aga's frame of body is limited and prone to injuries so you can't possibly beef her up to generate more power. She was already wrapped up the last two match because 'too much tennis'. Didn't she shave 3 straight matches that went over 2hours? Keys, Pironkova and Li.

At what time does the finale usually begin? I'll probably miss most if not all of it because of a wedding
13.00 GMT usually I think.
I think they're at 14:00 our time (BST). So east coast US would be 09:00?At what time does the finale usually begin? I'll probably miss most if not all of it because of a wedding
Either she learns how to win those matches or she'll be her generation's Dementieva.

I said to myself that when Fed lost that this was Jerzys tournament. He does not fear Murray or hitting an overhead like Verdasco.
Incidentally, Elena was my favorite player before she retired
Her defeat against Serena in 2009 was even worse than Radwanska's today.
I don't know but she had a match point.

Fuck yeah, Lisicki!
Thanks. I'm GMT+2 and the ceremony begins at 17:30, I think I might be able to catch all of it if Sabine is having a good day.
Or a bad one.
No, I won't in that case, anything but Bartoli winning it all

I like how MIMIC has posted less and less as Murray has progressed further and further. If Janowicz wins, I expect a return in full force.
If by stunning you mean Delpo limping around the court dropping bombs that Djokovic is more than capable of returning, then yes.
If you're not fit, you can't beat Djokovic.

This basically. He got through the last match because Ferrer was also badly injured - Ferrer didn't actually attend the practice session for fear of making his ankle even worse before play - and because he was serving absolute bombs. Also Ferrer's gameplan was just stupid (possibly exacerbated by injury). Djokovic is not injured and is usually tactically quite sharp, plus he has the second best return of serve on the tour.

Who has the best return?
