Coming out on court now.

OK gotta repost here.

Cool light show in Paris!

And I'm optimistic. :)

Are there any streams in English? Already watched Lisicki's final in French :help:

tennistv.com is all in English with an Eurosport commentator this week.

Her serve has to work and she has to keep the rallys short. Errani will know that she has to move her, don't even let her get to that point. Mladenovic delivered everything to her racket, but Errani is smarter and she gets advice from Vinci who already how dangerous Mona is when she doesn't have to move.

Thanks, net cord.

Net cord knows what to do :banana:

First few points are showing it's not gonna be easy. I was expecting this.

1-0.

A good game

Excited to see what Mona will do with Errani's second serves. :)

The good thing is that Mona can be all over Errani's serves.

1-1.

many errors...

Mona still quite tense and not precise.
Hope she can fix that of soon.

She returned Errani's long serves much better than the ones that actually went in. :lol:

Passing shot :drool:

2-1, great game! :cheer:

love game, 2-1

:)

Good hold from Mona :)

:)

:confused:

spox.com

Thanks, completely forgot about spox.

2-2.

It's not easy.

Her netplay cost her the chance to get breakpoints.

Already annoyed by Errani's screaming.

3-2. Nice play at the net :yeah:

3-2
I`m quite surprised how well Errani is returning.
Mona should use more her slice serve to the outside.

30 all now. Chance for a BP.

3-2
I`m quite surprised how well Errani is returning.
Mona should use more her slice serve to the outside.

I'm surprised how badly Mona is returning. She had returned much better against Mladenovic who packs way more punch in her serves.

40-30 Mona`s return is not good so far.

Nice to see the crowd clapping for Mona. :)

3-3. Bad return...

really bad return games so far :mad:

I'm surprised how badly Mona is returning. She had returned much better against Mladenovic who packs way more punch in her serves.

Maybe it's the spin I was talking about? Not sure though.

I'm surprised how badly Mona is returning. She had returned much better against Mladenovic who packs way more punch in her serves.

Same thought at the same time :lol:

15-30 :rolleyes:

Mona still feels somehow uncomfortable.
I don`t know whether it`s Errani`s top spin, her shrieking or whatever.

Maybe it's the spin I was talking about? Not sure though.

I think it's just that her whole game is a bit off right now.

Mona saved 2 BPs. :)

important hold

4-3

4-3 with some problems. Break now!

4:3*

huge hold, 4-3

4-3, well served
But Mona`s netplay is awful today and it has nothing to do with Errani.

4-3

Incredible miss at the net once again.:rolleyes:
Hope that shit won`t cost her the match.

Mona really should try to avoid those volleys

She always hits great returns when Errani serves wide or long. :lol:

break! :cheer: :bounce: :cheer:

5-3 WEITER :cheer:

Very intelligent play from Mona now and there is the break.:bounce:

Finally :cheer:

5*-3 :)

great shot!!!

There is the return! :bounce:

5-3 :hearts:

5-3 WEITER :cheer:

Weiter so or Weiter machen

But yes, you`re right.;)

that miss :facepalm: 15-30 :rolleyes:

Mona gets a little passive in the rallie and it`s 15-30 :(

set or breakpoint now

df breakpoint :facepalm:

:(

5-4...

Why, oh, why :hysteric:

Ahrgs.

She gives the break back. :ras:

Errani makes you win it, it's tough against her.

5-4*

erranis grunting is so annoying :mad:

Incredible.:sobbing:
She was clearly tight

Weiter so or Weiter machen

But yes, you`re right.;)
Thanks :yeah:

This is Mona's worst performance of the (at least televised) week so far, but I still think it will be enough.

Incredible.:sobbing:

there's a reason why german players lost the last 5 finals...

ballbashing now :rolleyes:

I do think the spin serve is troubling her.

5-5 :rolleyes:

What are you doing Mona ? These returns.:fiery:

You are clearly the better player !

5-5 :hysteric:

wouldn't be surprised to see errani breaking again now

those errors :facepalm:

What is enough against most players is not enough against Errani :sad: She has to stay concentrated!

sie wirkt etwas nervös und unkonzentriert

Mona reminds me of Julia today. :p

It's ridiculous how often Errani changes her screams.

What is enough against most players is not enough against Errani :sad: She has to stay concentrated!

What she is playing today wouldn't have been enough against Bartoli or Mladenovic. The reason she still is in this set is because it's against Errani.

Nouni overrules an out call from TWO umpires. :lol:

What she is playing today wouldn't have been enough against Bartoli or Mladenovic. The reason she still is in this set is because it's against Errani.

Yes but Mladenovic doesn't get one ball back once you get her on the move. Against Errani you need to hit two or three hard groundstrokes, not just one. It's much tougher and that's where she starts missing.

saved 3 bp! :bounce:

6-5

6-5

Mona totally shaky now. It`s also a fight against herself.

Respect to Errani what she is doing of her physical preconditions and with her cleverness.

6-5 :)

that was close... very close.. 6-5

6-5 :)

6-5...

Oh, I know, she wants to win again from 2-6 in the TB :lol:

Please come on, it´s her first big final :help:, and she is playing Errani and not a unknown-player...

Imho Mona just goes for the wrong shot today quite often, something she didn't do the last few days. She constantly plays it into Errani's racket, that's why so many of her hard shots come back.

2 Sp

2 setpoints

2 set points. Take it now!

mona got the set! :banana:

great shot!!

:woohoo:

7-5 :bounce:

7-5 come on! :cheer:

First set to Mona :D

Don't know if she was the better player but she SOMEHOW took it. :D

7-5 :kiss:

Yes. Now please 2. Set GOAT like the first two rounds.

Come On !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mk27, please translate Vinci's coaching.

It seemed that Errani could take the fight out of Mona piece for piece, but great to see how Mona pulled that out in the end.

Come on Mona, just one more little set.;)

:woohoo:

:):):)

:cheer:

Thank god :)

love how the french commentators are shouting "oh la la" at monas winners :lol:

I would be so scared if her mum would coach her now after winning the first set.

Thank God she has a real coach at this tournament.

sympathischer trainer :)

mk27, please translate Vinci's coaching.

Hope it's better than Errani's coaching. :p
I think she said something about not playing so much into the center of the court.

Wow Mona, well done! Take the title now!

deuce after 40-0 :rolleyes:

They really should have spent the money they used for the light show to rent hawkeye...

1-0, phew.

24-24... not very well, but enough.

What stats ?? I missed it

24 Ws, 24 UEs, for the first time, I think :)

I think that was the hardest shot Errani has hit in her career and she still got a passing shot back. :)

Love these passing shots :inlove:

Why would she go to the net so often against Errani of all people, who might have a little bit of experience with facing players at the net?!

break 2-0

Monalein, c`etait mervielleux.:worship:

But this is far from over.

Mona has to stay aggressive then it her`s

2-0 hold please :cheer:

That was a top class backhand.
2-0

Those last 2 shots were smack on the line. :)

Winners 24:4

UE: 24:8

Bagel, bagel, bagel! :banana:

15-40

This could become the key game

every service game with problems now :rolleyes:

OK then, breadstick it is :lol:

:rolleyes:

Errani can`t believe it how well Mona plays:lol:, but she gets the re-break.:(

Good game from Errani. Mona has to work harder. I still think many errors are due to Errani's consistency. She hardly had to play more than three shots against Mladenovic.
2-1

... 2-1.

:rolleyes:

She is playing Errani and not an unknown-player...And she can even break Errani at every time.

Those ridiculous screams...

Some nice points now. :)

What a ball :hysteric:

Amazing!!!

seriously mona??? those smashes... :facepalm:

:o

She keeps playing right into Errani's racket, particularly bad at the smashes right now. Still good effort by Errani.

Mona has to hit so many good shots in a row.

2-2 after 0-40... :help:

She keeps playing right into Errani's racket, particularly bad at the smashes right now. Still good effort by Errani.

Errani is running around the whole court.

Mona:banghead:

As said her netplay could cost her this match.

2-2 :sobbing:

Mona :sad:
Should have been 3-1

Mona:banghead:

As said her netplay could cost her this match.

those smashes at 30-40 were just laughable...

Please don´t say that this would cost her the match, it´s even 2:2 in the second set :help:

focus on her service game and not what could be....

After the last lost bp, now Mona can't win this match, I predict.

Errani is running around the whole court.

Yeah, she is quick, but she always already was on the way to the corner when Mona played the shots. Keeps happening.

3-2

c'mon mona!

and the next close service-game from mona. when was the last time she hold to love or 15?

at least she holds, 3-2...

*3-2

3-2 phew!

After the last lost bp, now Mona can't win this match, I predict.

She can and she will !!!

Good hold.

Errani's anticipation and movement is so good though.

It's tough for Mona to stay focused and patient if Errani brings all the balls back.

Oh, Mona seems mentally to be fit. Didn't expect that. Bravo Mona!

:cheer: :cheer: 4-2 :cheer: :cheer:

4:2 Mona :p

break 4-2, now hold this time :hysteric:

4-2 for Mona :hearts:

Two errors and two great points! :)

4-2 Come On!

Finally a return winner. Just 2 holds now!

what a volley :worship:

Good hold.

Errani's anticipation and movement is so good though.

It's tough for Mona to stay focused and patient if Errani brings all the balls back.

That's what I keep saying. Her return was quite off in the beginning, but other than that it's not worse than against Mladenovic IMO. Errani is just so much tougher and makes you hit many more balls. Espacially considering there got to be some nerves on Mona' side.

15 BH winners :hearts:

5-2
Just one more game! :D

5-2

Mona is just great now.
I admire her composure in this match.

1 game away!

5-2 :tears: :inlove:

finally a easy service game, 5-2, i would prefere a break now :angel:

Yes, a hold! :sobbing: :bounce:

Ultimately, tennis ia a simple game. :)

mona on the way to the title :bounce: :cheer: :cheer: :bounce:

Now break her, I don't want to see another serving for the championship today. :lol:

3 points away.

Yeah. It's pretty awesome how tough Mona was in a lot of crucial situations.

Those returns :inlove:

Return winner! 2 points away.

it's a disgrace that they haven't got hawkeye at such a tournament.. 15-30

Okay I didn't say anything :sobbing:

Let's see how her nerves are holding up :)

Mona :lol:

5-3

Ok, let's ignore what just happened and just serve it out please.

i have some doubt she will close it out now :help:

5-3

Errani will give everything now. Be careful, Mona! No choke!

why are all german players mental migets :facepalm:

:hysteric:

Inexperience showing really. You can't blame Mona too much.

Mona:sad:

:help:

OK Maybe it's time to bet some money on Sara.

Crap..

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

:sobbing: :o

5-4. she can't win this :hysteric:

Please break now :sobbing:

should've bet my house on this. so nid...

She looks a bit in panic :unsure: :sobbing:

Inexperience showing really. You can't blame Mona too much.

You can´t, it´s her first big final, maybe she is able to break now :).

3 pts! c'mon :cheer:

Barthel playing like Errani in that point. :lol:
15-15

i have some doubt she will close it out now :help:

you were right!

NET CORD! Merci.

great return mona... :mad:

30-30

Errani is serving with kick to Mona's FH and she misses time and time again. That's what I thought yesterday.
5-5 :eek:

:hysteric: :facepalm:

...

5-5

no brain.

5-5.

so predictable.

Mona Wastel :sobbing:

The Italian is fighting back

GSM Errani, let's say in 30 minutes from now on.

Please don´t say that this would cost her the match, it´s even 2:2 in the second set :help:

focus on her service game and not what could be....

Of course , I wish it wasn`t like that, but the whole match would have been a lot more comfortable for her so far if she had played just a little more consequent at the net.
Mona has to work very hard for every point in this match and in the end it could be a matter of physical state.
So she should have taken these points.

Ok 75 75

GSM Errani, let's say in 30 minutes from now on.

this.

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. Ask for your coach.

no brain.

5-5.

Don't agree, her FH return is not technically sound.

Yesss :cheer: :sobbing: another chance :unsure:

6-5

Mona is fighting. ;)

6-5.
call for ambulance, please.
