 what's going on everybody welcome to semi-final day for the ladies and we've got a big one for you today we've got Svetlina taken on von Dresiva which is the first I guess surprise that the only real surprise semi-final if you look at all the semi-finals including the men's they're the only two players that are on cedar that are in this stage everyone else is in the top 10 on both the men and the women's side and then of course we've got Sabalenka versus Jabur which I think realistically that's where the winner comes from if you're gonna base it on you know experience and you know championships and all that stuff and grass court tennis and all that stuff you'd say that it would be the next semi-final would be a pre-final almost like the winner is the winner the winner would win the whole thing but then Svetlina you know she has had a good run here and she's been informed von Dresiva's been a final of the grand slam before so it's not like these players that are here today haven't been here before let's get the preview because these two ladies have actually played a fair few times Alina Svetlina versus Marquette von Dresiva the first semi-final for the ladies Wimbledon for 2023 both ladies have been a surprise to get this far on the tournament Svetlina started a tournament as an unceded wild card and will take on Venus Williams in the first round this was easy for Svetlina getting through in straights 6 4 6 3 in the second round she take on the number 28 seed mertens and after splitting the first two sets Svetlina would run away with it 6 1 1 6 6 1 in the third round she take on the qualifier Kenan who had taken out Goff in the first round and after a close first set Svetlina would get through in straights 7 6 6 2 in the fourth round she take on the number 19 seed as a rank up being very impressive throughout the week and this was a classic was Svetlina having to fight back from a set down and play a super tie break at the end eventually prevailing the 3 2 6 6 4 7 6 to advance to another Wimbledon quarter-finals quarter-finals Svetlina would take on the number one seed Fiontech who she hadn't played for a couple of years and after taking the first set and dropping the second she would fight through to win in 3 7 5 6 7 6 2 to advance to another Wimbledon semi-final when Drusiva started the tournament unceded and will take on Stearns in the first round this is no problem getting through in straights sets 6 2 7 5 in the second round she take on the number 12 seed Kudumatova and again this was no problems getting through in straights sets 6 3 6 3 in the third round she take on the 20th seed Donovakic and this is by far the most impressive performance so far getting through in straights sets 6 1 7 5 fourth round she take on the number 32 seed Buzkova who had just taken out Caroline Garcia in the previous round now after dropping the first set she had to fight back to win 2 6 6 4 6 3 to advance to the quarter-finals quarter-finals von Drusiva would take on the number 4 seed Pagula who'd been very solid to get to this stage after dropping the second set von Drusiva would fight back in the final set from 4 1 down coming back to win 6 4 2 6 6 4 to advance to the semi-final Wimbledon these were played five times before with Svetilina leading the head to head 3 2 with their last meeting being two years ago at the Olympics von Drusiva getting the easy win there on the hard courts but this will be their first time playing on the grass of course the first time since Svetilina had a kid and started this amazing run if von Drusiva is going to win this one she needs to take that confidence that she had at the Olympics she knows that she can play against Svetilina on a big stage she proved that two years ago she's also made a final of a grand slam where Svetilina hasn't so psychologically she might actually think hey i can actually win these because she has won semi-finals in the past Svetilina is going to win this one she needs to make sure she doesn't get too wrapped up in beating Svjantec because of course beating Svjantec isn't the goal winning Wimbledon is she needs to make sure she gets her head back in the game straight away and also she's never won a semi-final out of slam so maybe take that out of her head as well play like this is just a quarter final or a fourth round there's such a random matchup nobody thought this was going to be the matchup going in with some of the names up the top of the draw but i'm going to go with Svetilina to win this one i think she's a better grass court player than von Drusiva but she hasn't been good but she was a little fortunate that Pagula played bad at the end there and i think Svetilina is a more accomplished player than Pagula and also more confident and i think she's going to get to her first grand slam final not only that but as a mum but let me know down in the comments below who's going to make the final okay so there it is you can see absolute banger quarter finals besides the sabalenka keys match which probably should have gone three sets based on the second set with keys going up for one but sabalenka too good but jaber coming back from a set down von Drusiva beating Pagula in a comeback after going down for one in the final set and Svetilina taking out the world number one so we've had some absolute bangers and again all upsets you know those three matches were upsets sabalenka is the only one out of the favorites that actually got through in the end von Drusiva the world number 42 she is 24 years old from checkier five foot six left-handed 22 wins 10 losses on the air has no titles this year but she's got one career title and she's always been okay you know she's we all call it we call it a boogie woman you know there's a bunch of boogie men and boogie women on the tour and she's in that category put her there with muck of her two months ago uh she's always that scary place she's beaten jaber a couple times this year uh she's obviously taken out um big names along here including Pagula so she is the boogie woman of slams but maybe not for long because she'll be seated after this you'd expect if she keeps her uh her ranking high but she's playing the number 76 Svetilina former top 10 she used to be in the top four like a year ago it felt like like two years ago she was in the top 10 28 year old from Ukraine she's five foot nine right-handed 12 wins eight losses on the year most of those coming at the french open and winning a title as well before the french open there's that one title there uh 17 career titles and you can see there her form wasn't great coming into this but she has been uh solid at the slams in the last couple of months and there's the head to head three two von Drussova beats her at the olympics in 21 which was I think for the silver medal uh then Svetilina beat Rebakina in the bronze medal match to get the bronze and von Drussova ended up losing to Benchich in the gold medal match so it was a very uh right down the end of that tournament in Rome 2020 von Drussova got the easy win there and then back in 2019 Svetilina got the three set win against von Drussova but um Svetilina's the underdog in this one which I find a little bit interesting maybe because she's lower ranked but it's von Drussova is the favorite in this match which I I don't know I don't know if I agree with that I thought I would have thought for sure that uh Svetilina on grass would be a better uh better option now roof's gonna be shut because the doubles match on court one is under the roof so the roof there's rain about all that stuff uh actually let's go but look at the weather real quick so here's the weather you can see we've got um green around uh we're of course right here right here but um yeah it's a little little sketchy so they're gonna shut the roof because it's probably gonna rain uh at some point and they don't want to stop the match during the match so uh yeah so we're gonna we're gonna probably start with a shut roof I'd expect and someone in the I think DJs just or defunct just said that uh the roof is shut so that's gonna happen uh indoor match which my favor Svetilina because Svetilina did play indoors in the final set against Fjontek and demolished her whereas von Drussova I think had to play at 3-1 she played under the roof um so Svetilina had a little bit more time under the roof maybe a favor's her maybe it doesn't maybe it doesn't matter who knows we'll find out players walking down the stairs one of these ladies is making the Wimbledon final very fun very interesting very interesting okay let's go von Drussova I say Svetilina might win she's made a semi-final before true uh one of the men's legends match just finished before the rain oh that's lucky lucky that but um let me have a look uh so Svetilina's made a total of 10 quarter finals at slams she's won three out of the 10 she beat including the one yesterday or yesterday uh two days ago sorry uh Conta she beat and Mukova she beat in quarter finals at slams uh she of course lost to Sabalinka at the quarter finals of the French Open uh last month and then beach Fjontek at the quarter finals this month at Wimbledon the only time she's made it she's made it twice the semis right one of those was the Halep against Wimbledon 2019 she lost 6-1 6-3 she then made the same year she made the semi-finals of the US Open lost to Serena 6-3 6-1 so both her semi-final results have been very uh very one-sided she hasn't really put up a fight in the semis never made a final of a slam but she and she has been the underdog in both those matches now back in 2019 that same year this Fetilina was having her best slam results Lord Dristava had hers she was unseeded she was 19 years old she came out of nowhere and she made the final uh this was her road to the final she started the tournament off against Wong in the first round then she played Potipova who would have been like 12 at the time I mean Potipova is like well like 22 she must have been like five um she beats Potipova then she beats Suarez Navarro then she takes on the big seeds uh Sebra Stover who was 12 seeded she beats her 6-2 6-1 love absolutely demolishes her then she gets into the quarter finals she takes on Martich who was 31 in the time beats her in straights beats Conta in straights and then loses the party 6-1 6-3 in the final so she has won her only ever semi-final at a slam uh in straight sets to against Joe Conta uh Barty of course was the number eight seed who took out keys and and this I'm over along the way but um so von Dristava does have a good record at in slam semi-final she's undefeated one for one so that might does that make a difference well maybe it does probably psychologically for her she'll be like well I've won in one of these you have them so I'm better whereas maybe Svetlana might block that out and not think about the fact that she's not won any otherwise that will hurt her and let me have a look at what is uh their grass court so Wimbledon record also their grass court tennis record so 22 wins 21 losses all times Svetlana on grass which I am a little surprised of I would have thought it would be a little better than that but von Dristava's record on grass in her career 12 wins 12 losses so they've both got a 50-50 record on grass because this is the best result they've had uh or equal best if you Svetlana on grass um but yeah I would have thought it's Svetlana a better grass court record to be honest that's a little bit of a shock to me can confirm Rufus shut all right uh Svetlana versus von Dristava my prediction is von Dristava's gonna win okay Svetlana believes she has nothing to lose with her kid at home I mean that's probably something the thing that the fact she's an underdog is amazing to me but also maybe really good for Svetlana because she can come in going oh I'm I'm I'm not supposed to win which might help her win now let me tell you who she's beaten so far this week Svetlana because she has beaten a very good group of players she started off the tournament she beat Venus Williams she has a few slams she beats Elise Mertens in the second round she has a lot of doubles grand slams Svetlana is trailing up in champion Victoria has a rink of two times trailing up in champion and Egas Fiontech uh four time grand slam champion and now she's this is the first time she's playing I don't know if von Dristava's got double slams I mean maybe she does um no von Dristava is the only slam-less player that she's played so that's interesting so let's see if that makes it I mean everyone else she's played is one a trophy a big trophy again this is a this is an interesting match we didn't expect this during the week players it should have maybe been here of course we expected the two big guns Pagula Fiontech should have been here um but then other players you know Benchich could have been here you could have had Azarenka here Kazakina was in the draw where Svetlana got through Venus was there Goff was there you know Coco Goff maybe should have been here at this stage instead of Svetlana so I mean Kazakina and Goff lost really early so did Mertens and then Azarenka lost in that epic to Svetlana so it could have been Azarenka at this stage uh as well so uh you know it's it's definitely a wide open draw and then when von Dristava she she beat Kudamatova who was a it's been pretty good on grass Beckich as well Garcia was in that section as well was Kovar as well was in that section you also had Samson Nova who's been a good grass court player Jung was in that section as well uh along with Pagula and Sheref so again it could have been you know we could have had a semi-final between um well I picked Beckich versus Fiontech it could have been Kudamatova versus Azarenka right so it's it really has shown out it turned out to be the top half of the draw was as random as we expected in the bottom half was stacked with uh with big names and the big names are the ones who got through uh everyone's getting slammed by Svetlana okay this wimby has had some great storylines including Svetlana of course yes Svetlana is one of the big ones on Draba making the fourth round as a as a quali um obviously the Djokovic story line what we hear every tournament you know he's still winning still champion so it's been good Djipur's redemption you know that kind of stuff Olympics bronze repeat w for Svetlana first slam final well the thing is Svetlana lost to Vondrusova to then have to play against Rabakina for the bronze so I'm like I'm guessing you mean the opposite of what you said waiting for you to get 150k subs I will get there eventually by the end of the year well over a thousand people here thank you for joining us don't forget to like and subscribe you haven't already a Svetlana is going to serve first in this one and we are ready to go Sabalenko Djipur coming up after this it's going to be a real blockbuster that one of course men's semi-finals tomorrow starting with Djokovic followed by Elkaraz um so that'd be a banger as well let's see can the Svetlana fairytale why is it so hard to say can the Svetlana fairytale continue can she take out Vondrusova to make her final the first ever final of a grand slam for her predict and win okay only 854 to go for a hundred uh for a million yeah we're we're getting there one at a time one by one okay Svetlana to serve she's just drinking some fluids and she'll be ready to go roof shot for this one does it matter maybe I mean indoor conditions uh I can tell you who's got a better indoor record because that's something that I can find um I would guess that Svetlana has a better indoor record because she has won the WTF finals is it a proper indoor match I mean it's an indoor I mean it is inside I mean technically it's an indoor match right uh Svetlana indoors she has won 45 and lost 28 but Vondrusova has won 59 and lost 13 so Vondrusova the better indoor player according to uh Google all right here it is chat who's winning this match I'm going to Svetlana I'm going with Svetlana she wins the first point I'm going with Svetlana in three I reckon this is going to be the longest of the two matches as well I think this match is going to take a long time to get done because these players don't these players are a little bit more rally focused whereas the next match is a bit more winner focused but um I'm going to go with Svetlana to take it out in three make her first final indoor grass that's it it's an indoor grass tournament as we're serving out the back hand of Vondrusova find out from Svetlana to the front of Vondrusova into the back end of Svetlana back and out of forehand is Vondrusova slices it into the front of Svetlana for Vondrusova to the front again it's Svetlana slices good the volley is better but Svetlana's back end pass this is going to be on tennis TV lovely shot down the lines Svetlana 30 love huge back end 30 love Vondrusova had a little slip there as well so that's we'll keep it keeping on that as well court might be a little slippery we know that indoor indoor grass gets slippery well at least a wimbledon Serbine T the forehand of Vondrusova return to the slice of Svetlana backhand slice Vondrusova hit the tape goes in Svetlana can't get it 30 15 30 5th doubles going on as well if anybody cares we've got uh i think it's pretty random doubles line up to be honest 30 15 is going to serve out why the forehand of Vondrusova return goes in the ford is Svetlana back in our Vondrusova is good Svetlana gets it Vondrusova with a slice as Svetlana gets the point over the baseline from Vondrusova 40 30 sorry 40 15 40 15 Svetlana to get the first game of this semifinal serve out wide to the back end of Vondrusova Vondrusova in the net and it's one loves Svetlana first game looks like a great match already a good start it's a good old start two minutes in this is going to be i feel like this is going to be the one that i wouldn't say it's going to be the better match because i think the next one the shot making of Sabalenka like that the hitting of Sabalenka contrast with the the Jabur sort of uh variety is going to be a little more entertaining but i reckon this one's going to be the longer of the two and maybe the closer of the two in terms of score lines because the next match might be a little flashy which might go faster and also maybe have a bit of a score line that's like a six two one six six three or something but this one might be the closer contest because of these two ladies game styles they're very similar in the way they play a lot of slice a lot of drop shots a lot of rally 15 love Vondrusova nice volley as well she serves out wide and ace is that lefty serve curving out wide 30 love and Vondrusova serves again a fault second serve second serve into the foreigners Svetlana return to the back end of Vondrusova for us Svetlana into the back end again of Vondrusova Svetlana goes in the line goat it is double time is melt goat Giovanni hope you're right got few quid on Svetlana and Jabur myself now it's time for Cam Tennyson fun cheers y'all thank you Giovanni for the 21 bucks or the 20 euro appreciate that can we get some salutes for Giovanni in the chat thanks for the generosity as Svetlana hits a lovely love volley is that in is it good is it out we're gonna get a challenge was caught out Svetlana with a love volley it's it drifted long according to the umpires if it's in it's a 30 or is a big challenge to start the match and the ball was just long you cannot be serious just went long 40 15 but thank you Giovanni appreciate that 40 15 as the serve nope Vondrusova lining up 40 15 serve down to the back end of Svetlana back end of Vondrusova the foreigners Svetlana again the back end of Vondrusova for the back end again is Svetlana on the stretch gets another one in the net though and it's one one Vondrusova levels but uh yeah thank you Giovanni very generous of you and good luck you know I was I was I was a little confused why you know Svetlana wasn't the favorite but I guess rankings head to head the previous match they played it all kind of makes sense of Vondrusova is the favorite because she's got you know she ticks all those boxes she won their last match she's got the head-to-head record against her uh they both got decent grass court records um you know the higher ranked player the one who's been more active has been Vondrusova as well so I get I get it but it's still I feel like I feel like Svetlana is very much capable of winning this match and again maybe the semi-finals like slams you know maybe that result is something as Vondrusova puts away the volley 15 love sorry Svetlana puts away the volley wrong person 15 love Svetlana's never want to slam semi whereas Vondrusova has that might also make a difference 15 love Svetlana will serve there's a fault the roof is shut the roof is closed we're playing indoors and we're probably gonna play indoors for the next one as well because the next match straight after this with no uh no break because we had a forehand backhand rally now it's Svetlana it's a forehand inside out again the slice of Vondrusova back into forehand again as Vondrusova starts at the ball deep Svetlana on the defense as she hits backhand on the stretch one out of back and again as Vondrusova hits it wide 30 love 30 love Svetlana as you get back to lead who do I think once or scrimmelenka I think as uh I think uh Svetlanka 30 love so I'm gonna see the forehand of Vondrusova's a let I picked Svetlanka to win the tournament so I'm gonna pick her until she wins the whole thing or she loses and then I'll pick someone else 30 love as we get a fault from Svetlana second serve while I was gone through my predictions to get the video ready for next week when I do my reaction to my predictions I'm doing okay as that goes in the net 30 15 I did really well with the semifinal predictions I was actually really happy with that I'm doing all right with the other ones you know some of them I was you know a little bit I mean I think I mean the women's semifinals I got I didn't get many I got one right 30 15 but I'm not gonna be too out of myself for that because I mean who would have picked this as we're backhand now going along from Vondrusova 40 15 um but I did pretty well with my dark horse picks and my unseated run and my qualies and so I'm not doing terribly I might actually do better than my French open picks which is actually pretty uh it's actually pretty pretty good I thought I did pretty well the French open is that goes in that from Vondrusova want to one what's next week next week is uh sleep next week is sleep next week is holidays uh Sebelenko Djokovic will win okay I hope you're right you've done better before what do you mean tihana what do you mean I've done pretty I'm pretty happy with that because I'm I read did also for those who have watched the predictions videos on the second channel link in the somebody can put in the chat no maybe um go watch them and compliment me or you know laugh at me whatever you want to do um yeah go over there and uh and check that video out on the second channel but um I read did the scoring structure so it's out of 25 it's out of 25 points now and I got 12 and a half out of 25 so 50 50 percent at the French at the moment I've got 10 out of 25 with a couple to go so I'm I'm I think if you get over half the predictions right you're doing all right out of grand slam that's what I'm telling myself to help myself sleep at night okay two one Svetlina after the good start but Vondrusova is hanging on and she has a backhand drop shot winner this is gonna be on tennis tv world lovely drop shot 15 love that's what she's got she's got that variety Vondrusova lovely pick up 15 love it's first that's gonna be huge huge first set we're gonna return out from Svetlina into the form of Vondrusova hits a win up nice from Vondrusova 30 love 30 love as we return out the drop shot of Vondrusova who just hits it in the net 30 15 30 15 so about why the back end Svetlina in the net 40 15 Svetlina Vondrusova serves to level this up serving the back end Svetlina returns sliced from Vondrusova as we're at a point now from Svetlina hit the tape it goes into the back end of Vondrusova Svetlina on the stretch Vondrusova gets it with a forehand and Svetlina down the line for a winner that's a shot that might be the best shot so far from Svetlina 40 30 lovely backhand down the line 40 30 it's the best shot Svetlina's hit so far on this semifinal good serve down the tee and return to the net okay Vondrusova levels so I'll tell you the why this set is so crucial for both these ladies Vondrusova she's when she's lost the first set she's won four matches so come back and won four times but she's lost 10 so four and 10 when she wins the lose the first set Svetlina's actually got a pretty good record when she loses the first set five wins five losses so she's come back half the time when she loses so it's more crucial that Vondrusova wins the first set if we go on off that record alone there's been a four and out of the back end oh Svetlina four and out from Vondrusova again to the back end of Svetlina into the form of Vondrusova Svetlina back end in the net left 15 so Svetlina can come back from a set down she's proven that this year five and five whereas Vondrusova when she goes down it's not uh not easy for her to come back now when these players win the first set Vondrusova has not lost a match this year when she wins the first set and Svetlina's won the first set 15 times lost three so again it's more crucial that Vondrusova wins this first set love 30 because she's never hasn't this year lost the lost the match from winning the first set and she only has come back a handful of times to win in three so that's a huge stat there Svetlina she gets the first set that's great doesn't mean as much love 30 we're gonna serve down to the back end as a fault from Svetlina second serve second serve Vondrusova ready she wants this break first little chance here as we serve down the middle the middle to the back end of Vondrusova back and again Vondrusova Svetlina on the stretch Vondrusova again with the back end of the forehand of Svetlina Svetlina puts a wide at his love 40 first break point to the match the first break points of this semifinal the crowd know it they're going nuts by the way we've got over 2,000 people here thank you for joining us hopefully you're enjoying this so far and first little chance we've got a back end effort Svetlina Vondrusova on the stretch Vondrusova down the line what a winner best shot she's hit all day she breaks three two by the way grand slam Wimbledon champion um yarn Kodes is in the house he won in I think he won didn't he win the boycott slam I think he won the boycott slam right let me check I got a signature right here a trading card with his signature fun fact he won three slams two french opens and the boycott Wimbledon back in 1971 two and sorry 70 71 73 he wants three slams he's sitting in the Vondrusova box because he is check he is check okay what's going on chat how are we doing how are we doing the question how are we doing to start this match better than runa forehand runa was a little bit off yesterday I think he was maybe he must have been tired I mean he started cramping up in the end oh it's versus seven lengths coming up next don't you worry don't you worry we've got that coming up next Vondrusova and our tattoos win now look if you don't have tattoos I feel like you can't be a part of the whether or not her tattoos are good or not come on if everyone anyone has got a tattoo put one in chat I am putting one in the chat because I have a tattoo or two all right three two Vondrusova serves a fault second serve three two she serves into the forehand of Svetlana backing up Vondrusova in the net love 15 love 15 15 is Vondrusova serves again it's a fault second serve second serve is she hits a double fault but she's going to challenge Vondrusova if it's in it's going to be a replay and it was oh just wide all right double fault love 30 love 30 very close that second serve good call by the lines person servant team that one's an ace that hit the line 15 30 Vondrusova serves again into the back of Svetlana for now Vondrusova again to the back of Svetlana into the back of Vondrusova slice drop shot as Svetlana gets there with the drop shot back but Vondrusova puts a forehand winner down the line 30 all 30 all right the crowd wants I think the crowd are on Svetlana's side here they know they like the story better that she is you know had a child and you know never made a final and all that stuff I think they're a little more supportive of her 30 all second serve double fault two double faults in the game for Vondrusova 30 40 break back point for Svetlana to get back on serve here yeah the sentimental favorite that's a good way of putting it that's true 30 40 served in the middle to the front of Svetlana back in her Vondrusova slice drop shot that's good very good Svetlana puts it wide very nice drop shot from Vondrusova unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable the deuce and the chance Svetlana's had is because of these double faults serve down the middle of the back end of Svetlana back in her Vondrusova in the net you'll see casual there advantage advantage Svetlana get back on serve 20 minutes into this match serve into the front of Svetlana return goes in the front of Vondrusova that goes wide from Vondrusova we're back on serve 3-3 in the first couple of double faults there in a bad era Vondrusova gives it back all right 3-3 and the return now going to the front of Svetlana Svetlana hits it out love 15 had a break and a break back in the last couple of games and Svetlana serves again free or love 15 as a return goes into the front of Svetlana oh Svetlana in the net love 30 and again a chance for Vondrusova to get this break Vondrusova better on the ground strokes but Svetlana better on the serve at the moment second serve percentage is zero for Vondrusova in three games anyway serve down to see the fault from Svetlana second serve second serve the back end of Vondrusova find out from Svetlana the back end of Vondrusova again to the find of Svetlana Vondrusova back end into that Svetlana forehand is Vondrusova on the stretch with the forehand of her own back end now the forehand is Svetlana hit the back end again to the front of Vondrusova into the back of Svetlana Vondrusova gets the point Svetlana in the net again love 40 another chance for Vondrusova to get the break here in the first set let's get back in front love 40 Svetlana with the serve into the back end of Vondrusova forehand Svetlana into the slice of Vondrusova again to the forehand Svetlana Vondrusova with the back end of the stretch slips down Svetlana gets it Vondrusova is down but she's all right she's just checking out the bottom of her shoe she's back up 15 40 they are playing under the roof and it is slippery under the roof also I think it rained before they shut the roof so there's that you know that problem that there might be some wet spots on the ground 15 40 Svetlana serves again this one's a fault second serve second serve Svetlana no double faults yet not this one either back end return goes in though and that's forehand long from Svetlana Vondrusova gets the break again four three first set four three in the first uh yes it is raining but they've got a roof so the roof is shut the roof has been uh has been closed 22 minutes play let's see if Vondrusova can hold on to this serve now all right let's ask some more questions who is the most exciting player ever um I mean that just depends on I guess who uh I don't know depends what what makes tennis exciting for you I guess then it could be Andra Agassi it could be John McEnroe it could be Lodra Federer I mean it could be Novak Djokovic kind of depends on what your raffle I mean not curious Dustin Brown you know I mean depends on what you what you think is exciting tennis she doesn't win wants to win who's that who doesn't want to win typical WCA breaks all around that's what it is and it's going to be like that today because these two ladies aren't known for their big serves the last two meetings between these two Vondrusova's only considered seven games winning both of matches so that is a stat Dustin Brown will face Kira Brublik yeah true all those what if Vondrusova wins Wimbledon that'd be great good for her back in and then from Svetlana there's too many arrows coming from Svetlana 15 love Cam how do you know when how do you know the return will go along um I don't know I just because I can see what I just watch it 30 love I mean it bounces out so that's how I know serving the forehand of Svetlana returning the net 40 love much better from Vondrusova in this game 40 love Vondrusova serves again fault second serve second serve to get to 5-3 here Vondrusova served with the back into Svetlana backing up Vondrusova is good to the forehand Svetlana hits it in the net again and Svetlana is hitting all the errors Vondrusova 5-3 first set Vondrusova hasn't lost the match after winning the first set Svetlana has come back 5 out of the 10 times when she does lose the first set so Svetlana if she does lose his first set he's going to have to do something that no one else has been able to do this year I guess rankings are something we have to talk about as well because the rankings of course are very important for both these ladies where will they stand after this is we're going to back into forehand rally Svetlana serving to stay in the set because she hits the forehand now Vondrusova the foreigners Svetlana backing her Vondrusova into the forehand oh it's Svetlana Vondrusova just defending at the moment back hand a forehand is she's the slice now does Vondrusova and it goes long 15 love so currently Vondrusova is number 19 sorry number 23 in the world she's 19 spots higher than last week or two weeks ago if she wins today she'll be number 17 and guess who she takes over guess who she overtakes in the rankings forehand to forehand rally as we get a backhand from Svetlana into the forehand of Vondrusova hits it in the net 30 love guess who she overtakes somebody else who got a real big rankings boost recently 30 love Svetlana serves to make Vondrusova serve at the first set so about why the backhand of Vondrusova back in Svetlana Vondrusova the slice forehand winner whoa this is going to be our finish to you that's a shot 30 15 mukava yeah she overtakes mukava who just got a massive boost from making a slam final herself uh Svetlana she's currently 27 in the live ranks 49 spots higher than last time if she wins today she will overtake Vondrusova and take 21 number 21 spot uh they don't win the final that is they win the final I mean that's a whole another story if Vondrusova wins wins wouldn't she be in the top 10 and I think Svetlana will be number 12 in the world if she wins the front when the wins Wimbledon so um yeah but if they get to the final that's where they'll be if they win this match that's where they'll be is that goes in the net from Vondrusova and it's 15 uh 40 15 we all know Svetlana wins a Sabalenka wins today she'll be number one in the world and if Antz wins the tournament she'll be number three if Antz wins today she'll still be number six she has to win the event to get a boost in the ranks and we'll return now from Vondrusova back in Svetlana to the slice of Vondrusova into the back of Svetlana for when Vondrusova hits the tape goes over and in unlucky for Svetlana 40 30 also I can confirm that two out of the eight spots for the finals race have been snatched up we'll talk about that as well because that will be a big deal over the next six months who's going to or next three months who's going to qualify for the finals serve to the forehand of Vondrusova back in now from Svetlana into the slice of Vondrusova into the back of Svetlana who goes in the line and long now we get the douche so Sabalenka and Sviantec have qualified for the WTA finals if Jabir wins the tournament she will be number four in the race to the finals but just behind the cutoff line is Rabakina in the race to the finals which I think has played in Asia this year has been a nice lob there from Vondrusova now about in our forehand winner and we've got a set point for Vondrusova unbelievable to take the first set here six three okay advantage Vondrusova Svetlana serves a let serves a let so going to see this time is good return goes in the forehand of Svetlana hits a wide Vondrusova takes the first six three sloppy from Svetlana and as I said in the preview and I've said multiple times in the stream when Vondrusova wins a set the first set she doesn't lose the match not this year 23 and 0 when she wins the first set this year Svetlana has come back from from a set down though you know a few times including against Azareka this week now looking at the A3 finals race we'll talk more about that tomorrow but the only person that's qualified is Djokovic because he's won a slam just to clarify the A3 finals situation the top seven who have the most points automatically qualify the eight spot is reserved for a Grand Slam champion who is ranked between eight and 20 so I mean Djokovic should qualify without that but if he doesn't if he finishes if he for some reason doesn't play for the next three months he will still qualify based on winning slam a slam but we can't confirm that until the end because you never know what's going to happen and Djokovic might qualify on points anyway all right first set done a lot of errors from Svetlana Vondrusova a little little shaky on serve at times second serve percent is not great but yeah Svetlana first serve sorry unforced error count is not not good okay and Vondrusova is serving first in the second which is also not good not a good not a good situation now let me have a find out who is the last player to take Vondrusova out after losing the first set because that is always an interesting we're gonna find out who was the last one to beat Vondrusova from a set down in 2022 she lost three matches from being a set down once oh it was odds to be back in Stuttgart in April last year Djibir lost the first set six four came back and won the match so it's been eight like over a year since she's lost the match from a set up Vondrusova she also lost a sabral anchor at the Australian Open from a set down last year so again we're talking about Djibir we're talking about sabral anchor that was the last couple to do it in 2021 it was four players who came back from a set down Kazakina Cornei and Goff in that category and again and in 2020 it was four players who came back from a set down but because 2020 was a little bit shaky and all over the place it was more random names you know Tomanovich who was low on the rankings at the time Brady who was a qualifier in the event at the time so again it's not easy to beat this lady from a set down she's not likely to give the match back has been a return going along from Vondrusova in a 30-15 I guess the next question you ask is how about when she's lost the first set this year and has she ever played a third set after losing the first winning the first set this year who's forced as a three well Pagula did in the previous match 6-4 Vondrusova then Pagula 6-2 in the second and then of course Vondrusova coming back from 4-1 down in the third to win the match also Canepi in Rome had lost the first set 6-1 came back on the second and the other only other player who's done it this year was Djibir in Australia won the second but then lost the third so three players have taken Vondrusova to three sets after she's lost the first set but again she's 23 and zero when she wins the first set this year as we serve now the backhand of Svetilina back in her Vondrusova is good the backhand Svetilina who hits it wide one love Vondrusova one love Vondrusova she is five games away from a Wimbledon final her second Grand Slam final 33 minutes in all right my cat is current ranking 42 I think it was a 42 or 40 40 something careless shots by Svetilina yes Svetilina is just not getting in the groove she just hasn't gotten in the groove of the match high time for Svetilina to get humbled well look I don't know about that nice hit there 15 love roof close favours Vondrusova well yeah that seems to be the case she has got a better record indoors those tattoos have power 15 love Svetilina serves the backhand of Vondrusova four now from Svetilina again to the back of Vondrusova now back into forehand is Svetilina again to the forehand of Vondrusova back in there from Svetilina as Vondrusova goes again to the backhand of Svetilina Svetilina hits it out 15 oh and see Svetilina is at her best when she when she can counter punch but the problem is that Vondrusova is not giving her hard shots to hit like you know not she's kind of almost baiting Svetilina to go for the winner and Svetilina is the one standing back just kind of rallying and then when she goes for something she's making errors and that's perfect from Vondrusova now she comes in the net but the lob goes long from Vondrusova 30-15 whereas I mean against Sabalenka oh sorry against Azarenka against against Shfiantec to name two even against Kennan and Venus and Mertens I mean everyone she's played this with Svetilina has been more aggressive than her on the ground strokes Vondrusova is not an aggressive baseliner she's just a solid baseliner back into forehand rallies again we get a backhand from Svetilina down line this time the slice of Vondrusova Svetilina forehand to backhand as Vondrusova hits a drop shot into the back of Svetilina who hits it in the net 30 oh and against Svetilina has to do the shot making she's the one who has to be the aggressor because Vondrusova is too solid from the baseline but yeah it's interesting so we had Venus we all know how hard she hits Kennan is more aggressive Shfiantec also was more aggressive even though she made a lot of errors Shfiantec but she was being more aggressive on the other the other day uh Mertens of course and um who's the other one I said um and Azarenka we all know is is an aggressive hitter too when Vondrusova is not finding out Svetilina is making a lot more errors than she has all week 30 oh so about why the backhand of Vondrusova returned to forehand to Svetilina hits it in the net 30 40 and this match is going very quickly the last time they played it was it was a very easy win for Vondrusova that was in the Olympics Kraus trying to get Svetilina on like get up and about but unfortunately they're going to do so much serving the form of Vondrusova turn goes into the form of Svetilina as Vondrusova with the pass good volley from Svetilina and then she's fired up now that's better and we're back at Deuce she's someone's in the chest she's looking real flat as well Svetilina is not really using I mean she hasn't had much to cheer about I guess but you're right she is looking flat just needs a couple of good winners to be like okay I'm in the match now as we're going to return now the 400 Svetilina that's a good shot Vondrusova gets it and Svetilina puts it down Vondrusova with a slice forehand winner wow this is gonna be what defense from Vondrusova Svetilina could have hit that anywhere and Vondrusova just got a racket to it advantage Vondrusova to get the to get the break here in the second man Svetilina I mean Vondrusova is just getting them it's crazy serving the back end of Vondrusova return the back end of Svetilina Vondrusova on the stretch into the back end of Svetilina again to the back end but it's out from Svetilina too love Vondrusova and she takes the break in the second there's too many errors in Svetilina too many errors and maybe mentally there's a block you know we know she has made semifinals of slams never made it past a semifinal at a slam whereas Vondrusova has also the fact that they play twice and I was played twice recently and both of them have been wins for Vondrusova maybe that's especially their last match being very straightforward 15 love serves a fault from four Vondrusova second serve second serve to the forehand of Svetilina drop shot is nice Svetilina gets there Vondrusova backhand lob it's too good too good 30 love because the next question is if Vondrusova does make the final who would she rather play we've got Jabir taking on Savalanke next 30 love and I'll tell you the answer in a second served in the back end of Svetilina Svetilina hits it out 40 love Vondrusova to go three love in the second serve in the back of Svetilina Svetilina hits it out three love we're getting a challenge but um I don't think Svetilina really believes that challenge is gonna be good um okay I'll tell you what I'll tell you who uh I'll tell you who doesn't want to play Vondrusova in the final well that was a fault okay no was it all right second serve coming up uh Jabir she's lost to Vondrusova twice this year one of these trying to open one in Indian Wales so Vondrusova doesn't want to play Vondrusova uh their record is three three whereas against Savalanke it's four and two Savalanke Savalanke won their last match that was in Adelaide at the start of the year so Vondrusova would rather play Jabir that's a good serve there on a second serve from Vondrusova three love now um Savalanke has won three uh won their last four matches as well Vondrusova won the first two and Savalanke has won the last four matches that she's played against Vondrusova so uh yeah Vondrusova is going to be gone for once Jabir on the next match if she makes the final and we've watched those two matches as well where uh Jabir just gets frustrated against uh Vondrusova okay is that a question the question jerk um Vondrusova likely to win the title if she plays Jabir with a better record i mean it's a three three record but record this year like the matches this year and the two times we'll watch them play Jabir just looks annoyed um so that's going to be a lot of confidence was the dumbest question Chateva asked i don't know changes on the daily can you need to improve your predictions there you go that's it that one that was the dumbest that was the dumbest statement of the day uh Svitalina gone already look it's only one break but man Svitalina's got to turn it around very quickly very quickly wasn't aunt injured then well she was injured in Australia uh she did have the knee injury but after indian wells she was coming back from a knee problem so maybe you can give her a bit of a break there but again Vondrusova won both those matches so she'll be feeling pretty confident against aunts um it's still you know two and oh this year whereas Sabalenka won the match that they played in Adelaide uh Vondrusova and Sabalenka so that'll be different too all right nice to have Svitalina 30 love why two people so rooting for Svitalina after the whole handshake thing no one's war but no handshake with fellow tennis players god um look i think you just don't understand the ramifications of her actions as we've evolved there from Sabalenka oh man Svitalina sorry Vondrusova hits a winner unbelievable unbelievable all right 30 15 Vondrusova is just so good defensively it's not just about shaking hands that's not there's more to it than that 30 15 serving the forehand of Vondrusova return goes in the forehand of Svitalina back into Vondrusova sorry to the forehand of Svitalina as Vondrusova hit the forehand into the slice oh Svitalina good drop shot and Vondrusova couldn't get there very a little bit luck from the net there from Svitalina 40 15 40 15 Svitalina looks to get on the board here in the second Vondrusova is in cruise control and there's a lot of errors coming from Svitalina and it'll turn out the backhand of Svitalina for now from Vondrusova to the forehand of Svitalina who hits it in the net 40 30 the handshake is not about tennis exactly if you're getting angry because you think that it's something to do with tennis then you shouldn't get so angry it's not about that as we return now that's a fault second serve 40 30 second serve into the back hand of Vondrusova Svitalina with the forehand is Vondrusova hit the drop shot Svitalina gets there Vondrusova the pass too good nice rehearsal there from Svitalina but Vondrusova too good doce yeah exactly look it's a lot more than tennis Svitalina serves fault second serve second serve into the back end of Vondrusova return to the back hand of Svitalina 40 from Vondrusova again to the back of Svitalina who hits it wide advantage Vondrusova for the double break here to get the double break Vondrusova in the second and Vondrusova sorry Svitalina looks very concerned now advantage Vondrusova to get the double break she's already got a set and she serves a fault Svitalina second serve second serve into the fore the back end of Vondrusova for Svitalina into the slice of Vondrusova for Svitalina the slice again of Vondrusova into the forehand of Svitalina Vondrusova forehand in the net okay the strange shot bad error from Vondrusova back to doce okay Vondrusova still up a break and still nearly a second break and Svitalina serves a fault second serve second serve into the back end of Vondrusova back in the Svitalina to the forehand of Vondrusova into the back in the Svitalina Vondrusova with the back end slice goes into the forehand of Svitalina hits a drop shot but Vondrusova is there and hits a winner another good hustle unbelievable unbelievable Vondrusova advantage and Svitalina's got no answers to this advantage Vondrusova to take this double break it's funny because Vondrusova is playing how Svitalina wants to play against everybody else advantage Vondrusova serves Svitalina into the forehand of Vondrusova return into the forehand of Svitalina Vondrusova slice goes into the forehand of Svitalina again to the forehand of Vondrusova back in the Svitalina on the stretch Vondrusova down the line goes wide she had it she had the shot Vondrusova she sprayed it it's almost too easy back to doce check a ruling tennis right now Mukubi now Vondrusova hey look check tennis has always been good it's funny because Vondrusova and Mukubi at the start of the year with the two scariest players outside of the top 30 now they're in the top 30 so now they're less scary but they're still I mean they're very scary in third rounds and fourth rounds there's a four-and-a-half on Drusova that goes long advantage Svitalina but you got Kovitova you got Pleskova Krajikova I mean they're a very tricky opponents I mean Sinyakova as well I'm sure I'm missing a bunch on the men's side you've got Lechka but um yeah check check tennis is very it has been for the last decade of berries very very good there's a serve now down the tear fault from Svitalina second serve second serve in the backhand of Vondrusova smacks a return Jesus yeah Buzkova as well she's another Czech player in the in the top 50 lovely backhand return from Vondrusova back to Deuce back to Deuce serve in the forehand of Vondrusova back in out from Svitalina sliced into the slice of Vondrusova back into Svitalina to the forehand of Vondrusova into the back of Svitalina Vondrusova with the forehand crosscourt Svitalina down the line in the net and again it's just not her game Svitalina to go for winners she grinds out opponents but when she has to go for winners that's where all these errors are coming from the counter punch a turn aggressor it doesn't work I mean Pagula does it so well but the thing is unfortunately Pagula can't get past quarter finals but Pagula is one player that can turn the game into attack she's a great counter puncher but she can attack unfortunately Svitalina doesn't have that to work with second serve advantage Vondrusova to get the double break second serve in the backhand of Vondrusova and Vondrusova in the net again and we're back to Deuce by the way almost at 500 likes thank you for that and we've also got uh three and a half thousand people in the chat that's insane considering that these players are ranked outside the top 40 and it's not the most exciting match there's still a lot of people here so thank you for that appreciate you guys for uh joining hopefully you've had fun this week and enjoyed the coverage has been a serve now from Svitalina she's saving break points but can she hold the return goes in the Faunus Vitalina who smacks it wide no she can't okay advantage Vondrusova semi-final number two coming up after this between Sabalenka and Jabur unless someone's having a terrible day you'd expect that one to be at least a close straight set first as a fault second serve second serve into the fauna Vondrusova return goes to the back of Svitalina for now Vondrusova into the backhand of Svitalina Vondrusova backhand again to the back of Svitalina who hits it in the net there's a double break for love for love and now I'm starting to see why Svitalina was the underdog in this match because she just can't play against Vondrusova she's too tricky I mean there's kryptonite everyone has a kryptonite every player has kryptonite and Vondrusova is the kryptonite to these type of players Jabur Jabur is another one who doesn't like playing Vondrusova Svitalina we're finding out is not able to play against this type of player 15 love good serving Vondrusova David you are the bestest thank you David for the five thanks a lot cam because you didn't give me $20,000 the Perth tax police are after me and took my farm and my fosters how dare you cam my cows are dead and pigs can't drink their nectar what happened to all the great times we had together thank you dove for the two dollars hopefully that was worth it all right 30 love brian hi cam do you keep an eye on corniva hey what's going on brian I have been keeping an eye on the on the draw to see what if she keeps winning so yeah we'll keep an eye on that but um I know she's in the quarters yeah she's in the quarters but um think of a donation yeah I've been I know she's I think she maybe she lost but she wasn't the quarters when I checked as that goes out from Svitalina 40 love by the way our boy coop semi finals of Wimbledon baby number four seed is the highest seed left come on coop that's our boy corniva's playing today I think right she's in the quarters as that goes in the net from Vondrusova 40 15 but um yeah I mean it would be crazy if she wins three out of the four slams that would be incredible incredible all right Vondrusova to get to five love so there's a fault second serve now is this match not even an hour I know right it's crazy second serve into the back of Svitalina for now Vondrusova into the back hand of Svitalina Vondrusova forehand again at the back end of Vond uh Svitalina back hand out of forehand again is Vondrusova hits the back hand on the stretch lob goes up Svitalina swinging volley into the slice of Vondrusova who hits it out and Vondrusova is just grabbing her foot we'll see if that's all right 40 30 just checking her shoes there Vondrusova maybe she's slipping and sliding 40 30 can I get a bagel for breakfast with my coffee as wise Svitalina hasn't beaten her since 2019 true and this is exactly how Vondrusova beat her up at the Olympics it's almost the same score line 40 30 second serve at wide double fold okay well I 40 love to deuce double fold number three for Vondrusova served in the tee is a fault second serve second serve down the tee the back end is Svitalina return to the form of Vondrusova back in his Svitalina again at the form of Vondrusova into the back hand of Svitalina Vondrusova back hand into the floor to Svitalina the back end of Vondrusova sliced drop shot good disguise Svitalina gets it though with the slice down the line Vondrusova lob Svitalina smash too soft and it gets put away Svitalina played a good point until the smash and then she just went oh I don't want to hit it out and ended up hitting it straight to the forehand easily just a soft smash and that just shows how she's thinking she just was trying but she's playing careful doesn't want to hit an error but she's already hit 18 errors Jesus all right Vondrusova advantage you get to five love second serve into the form of Svitalina return into the back of Vondrusova Vondrusova hits it out back to deuce it was a smush yeah and not a smash a smush good it was a smush the soft serve soft serve smash all right back to deuce here is what a serve down the tee good serve from Vondrusova she comes in with the back hand Svitalina gets us right but Vondrusova's got the volley too good advantage Vondrusova that's where Svitalina should have gone with the lob that time it would have worked Vondrusova was that close to the net would have actually maybe the lob would have worked advantage Vondrusova to take the five love lead in the second serve as a fault second serve double fold again Vondrusova second serve in the net Jesus that's happening a lot all right all right serve as a fault second serve second serve into the back end of Svitalina for now from Vondrusova in the back of Svitalina Vondrusova slice goes into the back end of Svitalina Vondrusova gets it Svitalina forehand is a winner okay advantage advantage Svitalina to get one back advantage Svitalina to get one of these back as she serves that wide Vondrusova nice great serve the lefty serve deuce again have i ever streamed a double

nervous towards the end of this match potentially end of this match okay four one Svitalina on the board in the second there's still one breaker serve where is everyone watching day anyone at

it's wide that was a good pass and von Drusava tied on the volley 30 40 but Svitalina to get back on serve and the crowd know it they're going nuts they probably paid a shitload of money to be there 30 40 so don't see the 400 Svitalina return the 400 von Drusava Svitalina with the back end goes in the 400 von Drusava Svitalina again the 400 von Drusava Svitalina putting down the foot back in now into the back of von Drusava Svitalina with a slice into the back end of von Drusava drop shot is good Svitalina gets it but it's in the net and von Drusava survives unbelievable unbelievable back to deuce man Svitalina started to put the foot down started to go after it but von Drusava with that little drop shot just caught Svitalina off and that was the difference all right we get to deuce von Drusava with a serve down the tee back hand return goes in slice von Drusava into the back end Svitalina to the forehand of von Drusava again at the back end Svitalina von Drusava's forehand again the back end Svitalina von Drusava on the stretch Svitalina on the attack forehand now goes in the net from the Svitalina and again she's just not used to going on the attack it's not the way she plays and von Drusava to get to five two here in the third in the second she serves no she doesn't now she serves a fold second serve second serve a double fold what I tell you I tell you knew we're gonna get one double fold in this game the five double folds today knew that this game was gonna have one back to deuce she serves down the tee the back end Svitalina for now von Drusava in the back end Svitalina von Drusava with this drop shot in the net again and again von Drusava just making silly mistakes she's not thinking advantage Svitalina second break point of the game to get back on serve von Drusava is just getting a little little shaky who you reckon she's serving out wide lefty serve she serves out wide to the back end Svitalina for now from von Drusava that goes out we're back on serve nervous game double fold at game point and a drop shot error and now we're back on serve but it's 4-3 von Drusava still leads so she's not back yet Svitalina but she's almost back and von Drusava looks concerned okay 4-3 4-3 Svitalina is fired up the crowd's getting into it as well they're like finally we're getting a match is von Drusava hurt I don't think so I mean it doesn't look hurt she just looks nervous she's gonna get broken right away well that's the thing this is the most important game in the match for Svitalina because you know you might have broken back twice but you're still down 4-3 and this match could be over in five minutes if von Drusava gets a break back gets a break next who's going who you got for tomorrow's games um I can't remember Djokovic and I can't remember I can't remember who I picked in the other one maybe Medi no do I pick Elkraz I don't I don't know I know I picked Djokovic though okay here we go 4-3 Svitalina gets back from four love to get back on serve but unfortunately when you serve second it's not quite enough you've got to win this game to level it up serving the point of von Drusava who hits it in the net 15 love and what do I always say chat what do I always say what do I always say come on you should know this it's an easy answer what do I say what do I always say and it's going to serve now from Svitalina it's a fault second serve it's not a comeback unless you win exactly not a comeback unless you win 15 loves we serve now double fault 15 oh it's not a comeback unless you win nobody remembers the people that come back in lose we don't remember that it's not too bad hey thank you Boris for the two dollars appreciate that as we return now from von Drusava back in Svitalina von Drusava with the forehand in the back in Svitalina Svitalina hits it out 15 30 15 30 again errors from Svitalina she's 20 errors in a double fault today von Drusava is not doing much better but at least she's hitting winners 15 30 good serve the return goes in the forehand of Svitalina sliced from von Drusava Svitalina with a good no terrible drop shot I should say she tried to volley and then she just left it and then decided a half volley and she just doesn't have the touch of the net 15 40 here it is a chance for von Drusava to get another chance to win this match or at least get as close as she's ever gotten at the in this match at the moment 15 40 serve into the front of von Drusava return goes in the foreigners Svitalina into the front of von Drusava Svitalina with the forehand inside out goes wide I mean somebody called it in the chat and I mean are you surprised it just felt like that was probably going to happen it didn't feel like didn't feel like Svitalina was really back here we go five three von Drusava serving for the match and a Wimbledon final is that goes in the net from Svitalina 15 love three points away from a Wimbledon final which has just been more solid more confident I'm going to serve out wide it's fault second serve second serve down to the forehand of Svitalina back in our von Drusava the foreigners Svitalina again at the back end of von Drusava Svitalina forehand goes again to the back end slice of von Drusava Svitalina with the slice forehand in the net 30 love and Svitalina has just been sloppy and just a terrible matchup I think that's probably what the biggest thing is I don't think we can say you know yeah nerves play a part but I think we just have to say the matchup between these two as we saw at the Olympics two years ago the matchup has been the biggest issue for Svitalina against von Drusava today 30 love von Drusava serves a double fault again I was just about to say I reckon we're going to get at least one double fault in this game I mean surely she's not going to be bulletproof on the serve 36 double fault for the match von Drusava double faults again 30-15 first serve is a fault second serve oh god don't do it too don't do it twice that would be embarrassing now that goes in now to the back end Svitalina return the form of von Drusava Svitalina back end again to the form of von Drusava in the back end Svitalina as we had a four now again to the back end of Svitalina von Drusava forehand again with the slice of Svitalina is von Drusava slice goes into the slice of Svitalina in the form of von Drusava hits it in the net wow that was a very awkward looking forehand 30 all Svitalina hasn't sliced the ball that much today sliced to the forehand I mean we rewind an hour could have been effective 30 all I mean it's never it's not too late she serves an ace wow and Svitalina didn't even challenge that was close I thought Svitalina would have challenged at the death she let the ace go by all right anyway it's 40 30 match point the take her spot in the women in final marquette von Drusava she serves into the form of Svitalina return goes long and von Drusava is in the final her second grand slam final she made the french open final four years ago she lost the body that day but she's into a wimbledon final now and Svitalina's run has come to an end semifinal again but hey look both these ladies making a semifinal even though you know only one could win very good effort neither was supposed to be here both get a boost in the rankings and I think both of them we can all say are very dangerous players going forward Svitalina is only getting better and she's just getting started but von Drusava is in the final weird match uh I mean look awkward match I think we can all we can all say that was awkward match for um well awkward match up for Svitalina crago wild appreciating Svitalina's efforts three and three awkward match up you know for Svitalina we saw that at the Olympics two years ago and von Drusava probably gave her a little bit of a little bit of a um let off there because it could have been much worse but von Drusava is in the final how about that who would have picked that I mean she was always the unseeded dangerous player in draws and now she's into a final of a slam we're gonna find out who's gonna play um pardon me we're gonna find out who she's gonna play because there's two players left in the draw and they both have played von Drusava four with mixed results um and they've also played each other a fair bit as well with some mixed results too so I'm going to give you the link jump over there talk with yourselves and we'll be back in about uh five minutes to watch Sabalenka take on on Stuber which is a very interesting match I expect that match to be much more uh entertaining this one this one was a little bit of a clash of styles oh sorry a little bit of a almost the same same the next one's a clash of styles big hitter versus shot maker it's gonna be intense so jump over there talk with yourselves but um man von Drusava she's the boogie woman and she is into the final of a grand slam for the second time in her career we don't talk about that very often because of course 2019 feels like 20 years ago after what happened in 2020 so um von Drusava into the final she's in there again with some great results she takes our Sabalenka 6363 which is into her second grand slam final who's she gonna play we'll find out next
