Finally I can enjoy quality tennis without screaming from this both players. Love this highlight.
Sastro Gozali yes the sound of the balls are so nice to hear. They both hit so hard and seldom grunt
AGREEE
So happy for Petra 😊 She has never moved better and been faster in her whole carrer imo. 🙌🏻
Petra is totally different now. Her movement is improving significantly.. Her body is slenderer than she had it in the past..make her to be able to move from corner to corner..great improvement so far..
Kvitova is such a spectacular player to watch when she’s on. I really hope she wins a major this year. In a perfect world Halep would win FO, Kvitova Wimbledon and Azarenka the USO
A champion in every way. Fighter until the end.
Petra is just incredible when she’s on top of her game. I think she’s the most dominant player after Serena when in form, after that probably Azarenka, Venus, Pliskova. (Then Maria? See below). Then the next tier you have Halep, Woz, Svitolina (the ‘backboards’ that always seem to be in form, but don’t dominate the way the power players can). Then up and comers like Ostapenko, Osaka, Keys, etc. I know I’m missing lots of players but that’s just a sample of how I see it breaking down. Note: Sharapova is a terrific power player with a fierce mentality, but she’s not in the above group athletically - though she makes up for it through hard work and willpower (I won’t mention her ‘supplements’, draw your own conclusions about that). One thing she has is that she never gives points or matches away...like the more-talented Muguruza and Sloane Stephens both do way too often (frustrating!). Simona Halep deserves her #1 ranking because tennis is about every match for an entire rolling 52 weeks. It rewards consistently very good players (Angie and Aga used to be in that category too). But there’s no question that when the power players are “on”, they can simply blow the defensive/counterpuncher type players off the court. This was a classic power matchup with two of the best in the game, both playing exceptionally well. Petra just has that otherworldly level that probably no one but Serena (and maybe Azarenka...if she ever gets back to being herself) can reach. Venus too, but rarely these days. Anyway, great match! Congrats on another 10-match win streak Petra!
Great parsing of the game man.
Simona doesn't deserve her #1 ranking.
well the question is which player right now WOULD truly deserve a #1 - in my opinion maybe none of them (tho I do love Simona). I would love there to be another dominant no. 1 as Williams, Graf, Hingis, Sharapova or Henin but right now there is none. Petra is maybe the biggest contender with her current form but obviously we have to wait for French Open and Wimbledon.
Well. All of this analyzing is very interesting, but tennis is all about results, all these “if”s, “when xx doing her best’ stuff just blows away when among all these names, only two have career slams and they are Serena and Maria. End of story.
Petra Kvitova is proving once again that she is a champion. I don't think there are too many people who can beat her in a two set match!
Kvitová is reaching ‘unbeatable mode’ much more often than ever before. Something has been different about her this year. There’s more of a fire in her attitude than I’ve seen even during her previous best year on tour in 2011. I don’t know how possible this is but I’m wondering if she can finally reach the world number 1 ranking.
Entirely possible. Kvitova has very little points to defend between now and Wimbledon and could now rack up an impressive points tally. I think she is probably now favourite for Wimbledon.
This is typical Pliskova: she gets a big win and then does not back it up! But really, Kvitova was just amazing, especially 4:40 and 5:35. Wow! Congrats to Petra!
I 100% think that Kvitova is winning a Slam this year. I just feel it. It may even be Roland Garros.
omg! hope so
Wimbledon 2018👍
😭😭💔💔
High quality match! Petra's defensive skills has improved a lot!
Damn, 5:33 !! 😱
Incredible! Shot of tournament for sure
Pliskova forgot kvitova is left handed
I don't want to be mean, but in the Czech Republic, fans to compare Petra and Karolina very often, of course. And in my eyes, that ball from 5:33 is a fantastic definition of them as players and their attitude.
Defensive play from Kvitova worked perfectly against Pliskova here. Excellent footwork from Petra
Wow this is the first time I've seen Petra moving so well .I'm shook
Serena and Petra have always been my favourite. Can't wait to see what else she can do this year. World no 1 would be nice. Also this should be contender for wta match of the year
It can be the right year to become n.1 for Petra. It all will depend on her next Wimbledon!
Andrea Nicolo De Candia I want to see her reach the semis in RG and win Wimbledon!!
Mac Meek I want to see a Williams sister win RG and Wimbledon. Not realistic though but possible as long as at least one is in the draw.
Kvitova might win this year's French+Wimbledon. But Kiki Bertens might just grabbed the trophy at Paris this year.
It will be interesting Final. Come on Petra 🎾🎾🎾
Incredible from Petra.
Shame for Pliskova, who I think would have won had she closed out that first set.
wow I think Kvitova is on fire. She moves soo well for big girls like her. Pliskova has improved her movement but Kvitova at her best is really tough to beat. She's fast, powerful, and mentally very good.
wow, that was amazing. I am so sad now that I missed the match - at least these highlights were absolutely fantastic. women's tennis is rarely as good as this.
Now thats how you show Who's the Boss !!! 😎
Wow amazing points!
Great match, Petra! One more to go for a Madrid triple. Some of the runs and angles like Jimmy Connors at the US Open.
Petra is amazing. Her court play and awareness playing the shots at the right time, gave her the edge. You know what? She also looks all Woman. Not overworked and over muscled like quite a few. It is hard work put in yes, but it is natural talent more than anything. Big Darling with those big eyes!
Alex Bowie lol what’s that supposed to mean looks all woman lol can’t we just enjoy the game and stop criticizing everyone’s appearance dimwit!
badmaru
Go sit down, have a cup of tea and a wee biscuit.
Alex Bowie gladly eoooooowwwwww
Respect somebody's else means respect ur self.... Everybody is amazing.... 😄
You re such masochist! Petra looks like an athlete! Why do you have to objectify all women athletes? You sound like Trump!!
Its time Pliskova wins a Grand Slam.... it been a long wait.
Gorgeous Petra 😍😍😍😍😍
one of the best matches this year
Amazing hitting
Pretty frosty handshake there!
yeah, there's a little bit of competiton and tension - but at the same time mutual respect :) they're just not best friends, nothing wrong about that.
true true. It's like...they are the 2 best players from Czechia :) kind but competitive
Kevin Smith Agree. It was a bit chilly but not rude.
go get your 🏆 petra
DizzieDaCrazzie88, John Lupo, Samuel Leap and rene 17 were asking where have you been? 😀
Dubble D i found a woman who's willing to have sex with me without me having to pay so i don't need to watch wta as often anymore…. jk 😉
tournament too early in the morning i have to work and i live in houston and rockets made nba conference finals and that's more exciting than wta at the moment 😁👍
lol
Come on Petra!! 💪🏻
Well done, Petra!
Hope she could keep her consistency throughout the year..
Petra go for d title! Amazing!
Sad! I'm not expecting this!
No kiss to her fellow czech
are fik ikr i thought all th czech players are best friends off court having won fed cup title so many times already...
"best friends" - despite the great Fed Cup chemistry - not exactly true tbh. but they sure have a mutual respect.
Petra approached like giving her a kiss but pay attention Karolina stop like telling no kidding kiss please..Karolina body actitud
Thanks. Great win for Kvitova. But the trouble is, she plays great for 2 weeks, then falls off the map for 2 months. You can't count on her being consistent through an entire season. Cheers.
Karolina had no business losing that first set - pity about the double faults.
Молодец Петра! Вперед!
Pliskova need to show more fighting spirit, she wouldn't become great without it.
How good is that!
This should have been the final.
Congrats Kvitova👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽😊
05:11 that was nice sportsmanship for kvitova
You can see that she means business when you look at the handshake 😂
5:35 shot of the tournament
I want first-timers to win the 3 remaining grand slams this year.
Roland Garros - Simona Halep 🇷🇴
Wimbledon - Johanna Konta 🇬🇧
US Open - Karolina Pliskova 🇨🇿
Excellent match. Could have gone either way. Congrats to Petra.
Skvělý pohyb Petra je opět zpět
Well done, Petra, indeed!
Two things going on in my head
1. Wow Petra has gone athletic, her movement now is amazing
2. So much for halep being the contender for Roland garros. Sad.
Wow ,One of the best woman games ever
They don’t like each other lol. You can tell by the handshake. They both want to be the best modern female Czech player. But Karolina knows Petra is a little better.
A little? Petra is a 2 Times GS champion.
Epirus Φ I agree you can tell.
Epirus Φ the handshake was fine
Epirus Φ ikr i thought they're going to have a best friend moment at the net having won so many fed cup titles already...
Epirus has true. Karolina said, that girls arent her friends. Sharapova style. Petra has friends.
"Yes She did!"
wheres maria fighting VS petra i just want to see please upload it admin
Petra movement has improved so much that was the difference. Karolina movement not as good.
I LOVE PETRA!!!!
4:32 has to be the shot of the day
Pliskova's walks is manlier than mine.
Way to go, Kvitova!!!!
The only thing Petra needs I'd consistency
Disappointed for Karolina, but what a performance by Petra!
Kvitova playing almost like kerber wow
WTF how you can compare Kerber who just returns balls until madness with Petra such an amazing ball striker.
Умный, аристократичный, оригинальный, Женский теннис, а не тупо атлетичный, пародия на мужской. Браво!
typical game for Kvitova, starts slow and yet winning
Who is the woman commentator ?
Who have more power,Kvitova or Pliskova? :D
Who are the commentators ?
this needs to be petra year. likes of halep with one international title In a year at number one is embarassing for wta. we don't need pushers like her or pushiniacki at top. Petra needs to win two slams and finish year at number one
Finally Petra won Madrid :)
Thỏ con she hasn't won yet this was the semi's
Wonder why Petra never played this well at the French open
GO PETRA
Who's the female commentator? Is she Justine Henin?
No, she might be Tracy Austin
It is Sophie Amiach (a former French player)
kvitova je najbolša
and here comes the Current queen ..Petra...😏
come on Petra u can lift another Wimbledon plate ...
go Petra get the title ....
I just want Petra to be no. 1.
quality women’s tennis minus the grunts
Petra je božíííííííííííííííííííííííí. Miláček. Chudák Kája.
That handshake was not very Czech like lol. What’s the beef?
t-ARTIS No beef I reckon. Czechs for the most part are fairly reserved people. That is what I observed when I visited there. Very professional hand shake in my opinion. Firm grasp of the hand and eye contact. These women are at the top tier of professional sport.
@t-ARTIS
Pliskova, feels Petra stole her coach without asking, telling.
Kaplis, has even commented on this. Lol
I'm sure there's some pressure at home as well (Petra's the favored Queen, and Kaplis is the new Yet To Be Determined GS Champion, trying to prove worthy).)
MSL525 Make sense to me.
TheTora75
I noticed a frosty handshake as well. Usually when two country women play they hug or give a kiss at the end of their match, regardless of the outcome. This was a little unusual for two Czech women who have won so many fed cups together. A bit of sour grapes I reckon
