CONGRATS To WOZ: GS Champ, World New No. 1, Queen Of Tennis

Post by Grossefavourite » Jan Thu 25, 2018 9:51 am

• The winner will not only hold the Australian Open trophy, but will walk away as the No. 1 player in the world.<br /><br />• It will be the first crowning of a first-time Australian Open champion since Hana Mandlikova beat Wendy Turnbull in 1980.<br /><br />• Halep could become the first Australian Open champion to save match point against two different opponents during that year's run.<br /><br />http://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/2 ... p#br#ed_cl#

Halep is not losing here.
She is defending her #1 status and showing how resilient she can be against all kinds of players.
She's been tested on the way to this final.

Wozniacki will have to drag the trophy from Halep's cold dead body. Like a rabid dog, she's got her teeth sunk deep and is not letting go. NO WAY Halep's giving it to her. Not after the grit and fight she's shown this tournament. She wants it badly and she's finally going to take it. Better hope she doesn't put a beatdown on Caro.

If Halep is hungry for Danish, she'll have to satisfy it at the local bakery and not on Caroline. Halep will be Romaine coleslaw when Caro is through with her.

 Agree. Halep saved 3 match points and 2 match points in 2 different matches. Wow... Hope she doesn't allow Match points for Wozniacki.
Halep's path to the Final has been rough, while Wozz's been pretty quiet.

Again: let's go Halep. Show the world who is #1!!!

Fans underestimate Woz's grit. Halep is going to take more chances and Caroline will feast on those errors. Sadly, Halep will have to make do with a brief trip to the winner's circle to claim her runner-up plate for the second time.

everything has been said about Halep here. And she's come through.
She was going to be blown away by Bouchard because of a bad ankle.
She was going to be blown away by hard hitting Osaka.
She was going to be blown away by almighty Pliskova
She was going to be dragged by Super Strong Kerber.
Halep conquered them all, saving multiple match points in the process.

She will conquer Wozniacki as well.

The only dangerous opponent Wozniacki faced was the untested, super smart Mertens who is still learning her art. Had Mertens not flopped those set points, a 3rd set might have changed her life.

MADD must be going mad. His wet dream so close to becoming reality: a Romanian GS champ and World No. 1 while the WS are still active.

We all know Caro will be chatting with Serena before the match.

Serena is also good friend with Halep.
Yes she'd like Caro to win a slam, no doubt.
