salute to kiki bertens,we just watched her tennis skills,composure,decency,manners,respect for opponent,no vulgar display of aggression or body,what a role model ,hope all players emulate her
You are absolutely right! I met her and her coach one day in person and they are really nice people. I wanted to take a selfie (which I normally hate and I had never done it before) with her and seeing me messing with my phone see grabbed it out of my hands and made the selfie herself. She certainly should have the same exposure as Osaka or Stephens.
I also think she will win against Stephens but I don't think there's anything "for sure" in today's WTA :-) Bencic beat Osaka, Bertens beat Kvitova - and I don't think either was that big a surprise. Kiki is very good but she was also playing an A++ game today.
Kiki was scary good today, Petra wasn't actually that bad in the 2nd set but it still wasn't enough. hadn't seen such a hungry look in Kiki's eyes yet, she was on a mission :P
@@billieboybuddha4238 I don't believe Petra is intimidated by anyone. She has regularly mixed it up with the Williams sisters after all- including the time she pulverised Serena here in the Madrid final a few years ago. Clay isn't her best surface and she doubts herself more since the knife attack than she did before (ironic given how she seems to be playing better and more consistently than ever). Kvitova at her best is > Bertens
@@aaronwilkins1843 "Kvitova at her best is > Bertens" - I would agree before this match, now I feel like they could be quite even. importantly, Kvitova at her VERY best is maybe unbeatable, but it happens pretty rarely.
@@aaronwilkins1843 You sound quite defensive and extremely pro Kvitova lol.That's alright, I like Kvitova a lot as well, but this match she had no answer and was clearly intimidated by Kiki's aggression. Nothing wrong with admitting that and still being a fan Aaron :)
@@charliez077 im not sure how 'at her best' and 'at her VERY best' are different? Bretons is improving all the time for sure but I don't see her winning multiple slams...we'll see. :)
That smile after the first set, great to watch! She has a great support box! They really make connection with each other. And the scream at the end of the match....says it all! She is on a role...vamos!💃👌
Had the privilige to train at same place as Kiki here in Rotterdam, really sweet girl. World class potential, but very mixed results. She can win from the best with great tennis, or just go down anonymously. As we say here, it's not easy to be a Feyenoord fan, well, it's quite stressy to support Kiki as well, lol, not good for your heart :) I love Kvitova as well tho. I hope Kiki goes all the way this time!
@@andrewmark2783 she told him to take some chewing gum with a big smile. Then he asked, do i have a smelly mouth. Laughing harder she said: yes!. Later you can see him sit chewing some gum ;)
Great tournament for Kiki. With few points to defend in the upcoming tournaments at Rome and RG, Kiki will have a chance to move farther up in the ranking again. She is a very good player on clay but she needs to be more consistent on grass and hard court.
Third comment! 😂 I haven't watched it yet but I know it would've been a good match...poor Kvitova failing to defend the title and dropping a few ranks 😟
ลิjน้oeจomซน ซน you know what, she play Rome next week , also no points pressure in Rome and Roland Garros. She still got a chance, it’s fine , cuz it’s Kiki Bertens, pretty good at clay, she againsted.
Bertens played well today and Kvitová looked a bit off. Bertens is as great clay player but her best performances always come outside of the slams. As for Kvitová, she can play exceptionally well for a long period than it starts to slip.
Wonderful tennis! And no screaming!! Thanks to you both xx

You could not have put it better, "No vulgar display of aggression" which does not seem to be a part of the vocabulary of many players!
Agreed 100 percent!
Kiki has to win the tournament,she has been by far the best player here!!
How To Sims Or Halep.
Kiki is playing with so much confidence! Keep it up!
Great match by Bertens. Played really well and will win for sure against Stephens!
I also think she will win against Stephens but I don't think there's anything "for sure" in today's WTA :-)

Dont be so sure
Don't be so sure: Stephens has 2-0 record against Kiki Bertens...

That hungry look yes, and her fast play, I think it kinda intimidated Petra a bit so it seemed

Wow! Such a high quality match. Feel bad for Kvitova though. 😖
Kiki is really good on clay, one of the best imo.
On any court really! But her movement is particularly good on clay because she slides so naturally.
That smile after the first set, great to watch! She has a great support box! They really make connection with each other. And the scream at the end of the match....says it all! She is on a role...vamos!💃👌
The two most talented women on tour now IMO. Love both of their games!
😔 Got much respect for KB though. PK still my number 1.
Kiki Bertens, the eventual Madrid Open Champion. Congrats!
Queen Petra, come back strong at Roland Garros.
Petra is the most gracious female player after a match. Win or lose. She often gives a hug....

She's not really done much of the latter these past eighteen months though. I reckon a Slam final is coming soon!
@@andrewmark2783 By the way, did you foreigners get the funny moment with Bertens and her coach Sluiter during her match against Ostapenko? :p
@@billieboybuddha4238 I didn't watch the match actually, what happened?

@@nickvanu88 Haha, is typical for these 2, specially her coach, no nonsense guy from city of Rotterdam, what you see is what you get :)
Damnnn Kiki came and conquered. ... I love them both dearly
Shot of the day at 06:02 😉 Well Done Kiki!!! You played fantastic!
Goed gedaan Kiki. Zo doorgaan. Kom op. Love you.
I'm in love with Petra.
Kiki plays a high quality tennis . it is her Season.
Bertens was simply brilliant
solid result for Petra after playing so much tennis. Those monster ground strokes don't come back on hard/grass courts.
Kiki is so good on clay. I like watching her play
Congrats Bertens !!!Wonderful game 👍👍👍
Go Kiki hey! Congrats beautifully played
I love kiki n petra.. They Just amazing athelete..
Great tournament for Kiki. With few points to defend in the upcoming tournaments at Rome and RG, Kiki will have a chance to move farther up in the ranking again. She is a very good player on clay but she needs to be more consistent on grass and hard court.
KiKi wanted this one.
Geweldig, Kiki!

Proud of our Kiki! #netherlands
Yes Bertens!!!!!!!👏👏👏
Who love Kiki ....
Kvitova, She was born to be the no. 2 in the world 👌👌👌

Wat een mega topper
Kiki is on fire..!!
Noooo...petraaaa...i wanted her to win madrid so bad 😢
Love watching Bertens play well. Def has more of a killer instinct
They didn't finish the live streaming last night...😪
Bertens played well today and Kvitová looked a bit off. Bertens is as great clay player but her best performances always come outside of the slams. As for Kvitová, she can play exceptionally well for a long period than it starts to slip.
OH NO PETRA!! I'M SO SAD!! :-(
Go Kiki!
Bertens vs Halep in the final ? Also in the final of RG ?
No chance to Petra. I thought she will win a set at least but Kiki was amazing
those lower seats close to the court must be very expensive because there is not a single person sitting in them
Nice game...kiki..
سبحان الذي خلق عيون بترا...
Petra was to nervous 😬! It was horrible to watch 🙈🙈🙈 hope it will be much better in Rome!
She is tired! Forget Rome! Skip it and get ready for Roland Garros!
Nice try Kvitova but... I love you Kiki 😍
Go home and get some rest, sweetest Petra. You can win Roland Garros and Wimbledon and that is much more important ❤️
Kiki played very well today but i wanted Kvitova to win so bad😑
Kvitova cant play long rallies which Clay demands and her serve isnt a weapon on Clay.
I think Petra should just rest the French is right around the corner she'll be tired if she plays Rome
Micah Lockett yeah, it’s a dilemma, No.1 place is just that close, but French open is around the corner.
I agree. Kiki was very hungry today, and Petra seemed to be intimidated by it, but also a bit tired if I noticed well
Kvitova 🙁😗
No.1は変化なし・・・。
Sorry for Petra, but I think she needs to move better and to start sliding if she is to become more dangerous on clay...
Still better naomi than petra
She ll beat the azz out of nolep
I think if this had been played on a hard court, Kvitova would've won
Intelligent comment. I also know for certain that Kvitova would not have lost if this had not been played at all.
KIKI is so good at clay. she is in hot. hope her a great rg
traveling.
How many clay tournaments has kiki won?
@@jeffreykaufmann4625the first five wta title was in clay. and she only win 8 wta title until now.
Sorry but Stephens will easily win though
Thanks for your fake news :D

Bertens looking so old on her age she like a cougar
Go Kiki!!
