I am absolutely heartbroken and won't be able to sleep tonight (I'm already not sleeping and it's super late here). Maria was so close to making the final. She had match point :cry:

 

This really hurts, but what an amazing run it was from her. Hopefully she can build on this and not be too hard on herself.

Barbora Krejcikova comes from 3-5 down in the third set to win 9-7 vs Maria Sakkari.

 

Obviously the most unexpected GS final since Bartoli vs Lisicki at Wimbledon.

Really? What about Pennetta vs Vinci at the 2015 US Open?

Pennetta making USO final wasn't that much of a surprise. She made QF there three times plus one SF before winning it. And she won Indian Wells, a bigger title than anything Pavlyuchenkova or Krejcikova ever won before.

Vinci was a surprise though, and Bartoli was also in a Wimbledon final and former top 10 player, plus Lisicki always did well at Wimbledon and reached some QF and SF there before making the final in 2013.

 

I still think Pennetta-Vinci was more surprising than Bartoli-Lisicki.

Yeah, but definitely less of a surprise than Bartoli (former Wimbledon finalist) and Lisicki (1 SF and 2 QF prior to that final), who both had beaten Serena in Wimbledon before the final.

 

BTW, Barty-Vondrousova and Stephens-Keys were more unexpected IMO.

Fun fact: Jimenez Kasintseva :AND and Noskova :CZE battled each other in the girls' quarterfinals (with Noskova winning), while on the same day yesterday they played together and qualified for the semi's in the doubles :p
