Great point Pliskobot,

Now let's see how Karolina's nerves hold up.

*sticks pins in voodoo doll*

Kerber's cracking that FHDTL, be afraid Pliskobot.

Yes! The stats are retained!

So happy for her, Pliskobot did play pretty well, though.

It was a good effort Karolina, well done Angie

Great final, great winner. I'm very happy! Actually all 4 slam finals have been good for the women.

What a match and Kerber saves tennis!

Try and top that Nole and Stan.

Well they didn't.

Kerber being told off by security guards and dragged back on court by the hand, priceless

What a year she's had. Two GS wins, a finalist plus an Olympic silver medal. She's got a lot to be pleased about. At least number one goes to someone who actually has GS titles.

She had to wait a long time for it but better late than never!

Really enjoyed that, Pliskova really didn't disgrace herself, but Kerber turned ti on from 1-3 in the third.

What an amazing final game from Kerber, brilliant match!

Care Bear is our New Queen !

2 Slams and the World Number 1

Eat That serena Fans

The greatest tennis event in the world? Don't make me laugh love.

I wonder if Kerber will return the "maybe next time" favour.

Such a shame all these matches have to end with these cringey interviews.

You have to assume with Kerbers running game she will have a short life expectancy at the top as she moves into her thirties, but nonetheless I think shes got a real shot of holding that number 1 spot for a good few years possibly. Depends on Serena of course.

Really nice interview with Angie.

Margaret Court won a brolly one year.

so great the 2nd womans semi was about 30% full

Serena will struggle to get back in the no.1 hunt, assuming she's going to abandon her season again like last year. She's getting older, getting more niggling injuries, more players are taking their opportunities against her and most importantly she can't do the full calendar that the others do. To put it into context aside from the 4 slams & Rio, Serena only played 3 other tournaments this year, only the 7 with points on offer were propping up her ranking in 2016.

For doing what ( or not doing) ?

Tbh should be about Kerber not bating Serena fans tbh.

What exactly do you mean by that? Pliskova deserved that match just as much as Kerber, but she just ran out of a little steam in the end. They both played really well and it was a good final for a neutral.
