2019 French Open Final - Women's Singles: Fascinating Play from Two Crafty Players



I know the finalists for this year's women's singles are virtually unknown to outsiders who don't follow women's tennis.

That is why I take issue with the RG organizers for their sexist policy of putting these ladies SF games in the lesser courts. I am sure that if Serena Williams were in these SF matches, she wouldn't be relegated to a lower court.

Takot lang nila sa tantrum ni Serena if that happens!

The organizers should respect the work these women put into this sport - so regardless whether they are marquee names or not, they should play at that grand slam's best court.

They deserve nothing less.

I have seen these ladies play through the fortnight and it's going to be one of the most interesting finals in FO's history because these ladies are not power players like Serena, Maria or Petra.

They mix their shots, keeping their opponents guessing their next shot. Imagine, Vondrousova's winning shot in the semi's was a drop shot!

Amazing!

This is Ash Barty's best chance to win a grand slam. But I will be cheering for the Czech teenager, Marketa Vondrousova.

Like me, she is perpetually smiling when she is playing. You can see that she is really enjoying herself out there, which is the main point of all this exercise.
