Made YouTube videos of my losing semi-finals. I'm like, whatever people are just so dumb Sabine Mazzecchi fans
She wasn't ready
Think she wasn't ready
We can't guess if she's ready or not. She should have made a sign. Yeah
She was ready
Should you put a hand up
I'm afraid you have to go by the rule book and she did put a hand up
Well, that's the difference between what happened to her
Yes, there's the hand going up but you Elena is also right you meant
What I've just seen
Serena Williams the finest player of the last decade
twice serving
For the match unable to finish it. Yeah, Lena Yankovic it is who goes through to the fine
So it's all right between them
It's totally out of control. You're a hater and you're unattractive inside. And that never goes away. Wow!
I express why I'm in America last time. Don't even look at me I promise you
It was two balls!
What's happening with the umpire in Australian Open? You always want to get a fight with the players
It was so clear, two bounces
It was so clear
Look, it's my decision if it's one or two bounces. I saw one bounce
Umpires want to get a fight with the players
15-0
Because it was a code violation point penalty
No, you got one before earlier in the match when you said something to the crowd over there you got a code for that
What?
Earlier in the match when you spoke to the crowd over there
Well, you know what you said
I'm not going to repeat. You said a bad word and I gave you a code
Yes
When you were on this side with the crowd moving that side
I didn't say anything
Yes, you did and you got a code at that time
So now with the racket
Are you kidding me?
No, Victoria
I didn't say anything about it
You said it
What did I say?
You said a bad word in between the setters
I gave you a code for that and now it's a point penalty
You've got to be kidding me
How are you still on the bench?
After all you've done
How are you still on the bench?
I don't know what that conversation was all about
Between Umpire and Jankovic
She's been unhappy about everything tonight
At least a little bit of resistance
Seems sadly lacking
For quite a time
Oh, now we've got gamesmanship going on
Williams held her up for a fraction
Jankovic doesn't like that
Oh, do shut up, Jelena
Tries being sad
And Serena's not at all amused by that remark
Oh, come on
You don't need this
This is pathetic
I've got your back, Serena
This might make a few headlines tomorrow
At least Serena's seen the funny side of it all
Was it good?
There was no call
Oh, that's...
So we need to keep the call
No?
That's such a shame for Azarenka
I think Azarenka has every right to be annoyed
Second set
That should have been Azarenka's point
Had Hawkeye been working
It would have shown us
Well, it certainly looked wide
But Azarenka, if the technology isn't there
Really doesn't have a leg to stand on
Not sure what Wozniacki's saying here
I think Wozniacki wants a first serve
Because there was such a long delay
In between
Oh, yeah
That was out indeed
And it would have given Azarenka's set point
And so I called second serve
Because there was lag first
Just because when it's touching the net
Sometimes it's losing the ball
Because when you see the ball
You know there's something wrong
Which is not happening
So I think I'm down to a first serve
The rule is that when we cannot get the challenge
We stick with the original call
Yeah, but when there is a challenge
I'm waiting for it
They both have
They both have a right to be annoyed
With the decision out here
It's like a soap opera
At the moment
Strange goings on
Azarenka's already pretty irate
If you wait forever
You get a first serve
It's normal
The system was not available
Yeah, but that's not my fault
It's not your fault
It's not my fault
There was a challenge going
The challenge is not happening
I deserve a second serve
Wozniacki is right here
After ten minutes
I deserve to have a second serve
We are delaying even more now
Yeah, but I don't give a shit
I mean, it doesn't matter
Apologies for the language
I've already waited five minutes
For a freaking call
I deserve a second serve
Apologies for Caroline Wozniacki
It's a rather loose tongue
You only stick with him
Because you're scared to overrule him
I need the check
No, it wasn't mine
It was accidental
No way
How can it be accidental?
How?
I don't know
Accidental
Arguing about
The WTA supervisor Tony Cho
Is coming out on to court
To deal with this
Because Brodie is saying
That there is no way
That Ostopenko has accidentally
Hit
The interesting thing here
Is you wonder whether Brodie
Should just keep out of this debate
She's now winning the tiebreaker
Momentum with her
She's wanting a
Violation
Against Ostopenko
A situation she wants to get so emotional over
Because the issue is with
Her opponent
Brodie won the point
Fair and square
That's not a debate
She should be disqualified
Says Brodie
I think that may be taking things too far
But she certainly feels aggrieved
That Ostopenko has not been
Punished in some way
Received a code violation
Ostopenko needs to be careful here
The crowd are not with her
Slow tapping her back on to court
She stares down her opponent
We've seen on the centre court
At the ASB Tennis Arena
Two match points she saved
And still the tension is being felt
As Naomi Brodie
Will get a smile
To relieve some of that tension
That may stand a while
Not happy with the sportsmanship
Of her opponent
And still Brodie goes at it
Well they're still having words with each other
Just the height of competitiveness
See as the players go up
To shake hands
There is still a comment there
Started with Ostopenko and Brodie
No go for it
We're hearing the good and the bad
So go for it
It's a stupid question
I was just wondering
If you could hear Christina
Yell forza
On your unforced errors
And if it was annoying
To hear that
But I really don't want to
No, I think she speaks
Like 25 languages
I heard so
Next question please
The time was relatively short
She didn't feel good today
And her reaction time
Was so short
Give me a thumbs up
And tell you it's not
I don't cheat to win
I'd rather lose
I'm just letting you know
She was also warned by the judge
But Naomi Brodie
Saved it
Court violation
Record abuse
Point penalty
Mrs. Williams
Now she's a racket here
And now she's been deducted a point
15 love
Yeah, it's a warning
I didn't get coaching
You owe me an apology
I have never cheated in my life
I can't tell
You are the liar
You say it
Say you're sorry
Verbal abuse
Gang penalty
Mrs. Williams
And that's not right
You're much worse than that
It would be fascinating to know
If she saw
The gesture from Moritoki
Her idol
Good to see that from Serena
This is bad for the crowd
They know what's been going on
They're not privy to the conversations
We'll get through it
But let's give everyone the credit
Where credit's due
And let's not boo anymore
We're gonna get through this
And let's be positive
Crowd, you really are
The best in the world
Thank you
Very good
She gets in front
Andrescu will have the trainer
I don't think Kerber's 100% either
Andrescu leads
But it's Kerber who leads
Andrescu leads 4-3
Yeah, that forehand
Andrescu
There'll be any stopping here at the moment
Bianca Andrescu
She's had the trainer out on court in this first set
And she's not moving around that
A perfect move
She's keeping the good times rolling
And if anyone
6-1
As Angelique Kerber
Heads out
Great placement there from Artur Tsova
I think
Let's have a look at this
Was I talking to you?
Please, keep your mouth shut
If I'm not talking to you
Maria, hey
I don't think it's kind of obvious
No
Do you have any problem here?
Talk to me
Did you listen to her?
What she said?
Yeah, sure
Yeah, so?
And you're going to move
Yeah, I'm going to do that
For what?
Yeah
You can observe
This ball
Yeah
This ball is flat
And then I
Okay, I was just asking
That's it
Nothing more
Perfect
Okay
Martins
Both players getting a combat warning there by
She's done it
Patricia Maria Teague is into the final
In Istanbul
The third final of her career
She's beaten the qualifier
Teresa Martins Tsova
In what was a
Tense
And tight affair
Oh
Put it
Game
That's it
Before my serve
She can do that
What's the problem?
She has to wait for me to serve
She threw her racket like
She's
Does not know when she's beaten here
She does it again
18 wins
In a last
Yeah, you're absolutely right
It was way too much stuff in this match
Unnecessary stuff as well
Oh
I thought it was good
Marissa Thor isn't sure
Normally when you kind of linger
Oh, no, it is wide
If it's the mark that
Yeah, if it's the mark that the camera
Panned in on it
Looked like it was in
Difficult to tell
Well, she wants the supervisor called
Zheng Shuai
Which I don't think is going to happen
Marissa Thor is
Finding it all quite amusing
Wow, can you believe this?
Can you believe this?
She has
Retired
From this match
I mean, we saw the doctor there
Clearly nothing is wrong with her
She was in
Floods of tears at the
The sit down there
I did not think that
My first WTA success
Would cause such a big storm
And I'm extremely sorry
For what happened
I respect Zheng Shuai
As a person
And just as much as an athlete
It was never my intention
To disrespect
To upset
Or to hurt anybody
Let alone Zheng Shuai
I do realize
I shouldn't have celebrated
The way I celebrated
After the match
And I am sorry for that
But I got caught up
By my emotions
By the heat of the match
And I got caught up
By the moment
I focused on tennis
I didn't want to win like that
I hope that in the future
I will have the opportunity
To sit down
And talk with Zheng Shuai
And tell her
How badly I feel
No, no, no
It's a shame she hit
When you hit
You have to be 100% sure
But it's not fair
It did
If he called it out
Before I hit it
It affects the swing
Because a forehand
Is like this
It doesn't go like this
No you're not
You just said
Maybe I'm wrong
It's not
Based on your reaction
I might be wrong
But I have to take this
I never argue
He's wrong
It's not even a millisecond
He called it
Before I hit the ball
