With Naomi Osaka and Serena out of this competition, I don't care about it anymore. Halep is a good player but she puts me to sleep.

crixuss:
The title of this thread should be just French Open and not exclusively WTA. The ATP is as much as interesting as the WTA.

There's a thread for that: www.nairaland.com/5208623/french-open-2019-atp

crixuss:
She should take a player like Siniakova seriously.

Yeah. Wow, Osaka got broken again. Siniakova is serving for the match at 5 - 2, and leading. I can't believe this is happening.

Siniakova has broken Naomi again. Naomi is lost; she needs some coaching - which is not allowed. Whatever she is doing is clearly not working.

crixuss:
Osaka is a joke. Losing 5-4 but up 40-0 on Siniakova's serve but still doesn't convert. Then she had a break at deuce and still didn't convert. Then loses the set.

I think she's not taking her opponent seriously. She should defeat an opponent at this level in 2 sets. Even now (2- 2), Naomi hasn't broken her.

At 4 - 4, Osaka faced two break points and defended them successfully. Then she threw away another point and is now losing 5 - 4. Yikes.

Watching the Naomi Osaka vs Siniakova match. Currently 3 - 2 on first set. Nobody's serve has been broken yet.

Azarenka refused to go down easily but Naomi prevailed in the end. 4 - 6, 7 - 6, 6 - 3. She is doing better than ever on clay.

Serena is playing her second match now. She seems to have a very easy draw. I will watch the highlights later.

timay:
This Naomi service is very fast and wicked o

Yes o. It hasn't failed her in this set, thank goodness. She's returning & hitting very hard, too. She just broke Azarenka. Leading 3-1 & serving.

Update: the bet365 stream has stopped for me but Naomi is now leading 5 - 1, and 40-30. Naomi is quite likely to win unless she chokes.

Naomi just giving away free points to Azarenka (unforced errors) but also making aces and great winners. She's controlling the set. 1 - 0.

I usually stream via bet365.

Great tip bro. Doing the same now! Naomi's comebacks are great. Azarenka left the court for some reason but she is back now. Third set.

Naomi won the second set 7 - 5, wow. The third set will decide the match. It sucks to follow a match based on the scores alone.

naomi won all the remaining games in the first set, ending it 6 - 4. She is leading the second set 6 - 5 now. It will probably end in a tie-break.

Naomi has started losing again. She is down 4 - 0 in the first set, but I think it will be 4-1 soon.

arukwe123:
she is leading already 3-1 3rd set

I just subscribed to WTA TV in a hurry only to discover that it doesn't not cover the French Open or other grand slams. How can one watch live?

Update: she won in the end. 0 - 6, 7 - 6, 6 - 1. Very similar to Serena's first match. I guess Naomi's stamina is one of her key strengths.

Wow, Osaka won the set in the end, and now the third set has started. I wish I could watch the match. Following scores on Google is lame.

Osaka is trailing 6-5 and her opponent is serving for the match. What a disaster.

Now it's 5-5. If Naomi puts her all into winning this set and triumphs, will she have enough energy left to fight for the third set?

So Naomi Osaka was beaten 6-0 in her first set. That's awful. And now she's struggling to win the second set. She was 3-0 up and now it's 4-4.

I feel sorry for the housemaid, cook, wife, children, visitors, and others in the house. The lion may not hurt the man, but it will hurt them.

AHCB:
that tweet is nonsense. If Daenerys hadn't met Jon she'd have been a wight under the whims of the night king.

The night king would not have gotten a dragon without Dany meeting Jon. The wall would still be standing.

Magnifico2000:
A girl didn't even talk to Lord Gendry at the gathering. A girl has no heart. A girl is a player.

A girl is a hole muncher through and through.

melodyogonna:
Just Negodu.

I don't understand. Aren't you pro Dany?

Toks2008:
Just watched the final episode and i liked the way John snow put the knife in the heart of daenerys targaryen

I didn't. He should have knocked her out and taken her to a maester to have her head examined. That's what you do when your girl goes mad.

AHCB:
why do you want her revived? Isn't it obvious she's a blood thirsty woman who doesn't mind spilling innocent blood to get what she want?

Nobody is perfect. Clearly, Dany was driven totally insane by her grief. That's the only explanation for her decision to kill everybody in the city that she wanted to rule. In her insanity, she told Jon that she was going to destroy Winterfell too, and expected him to be totally okay with it. This is a woman that won the Unsullied army and the entire Dothraki army by using her charisma and intelligence. Clearly, she had lost her senses. If the lord of light could bring back the dead, then surely, he could restore the sanity of Daenerys Stormborn, the Breaker of Chains.

There should be an epilogue in which Drogon brings Dany to Daario in Mereen and he gets that creepy but gorgeous red priestess to revive her.

Magnifico2000:
What is the implication of the North seceding from the seven kingdoms?

Sansa gets to call herself the Queen in the north. That's the only reason. Don't overthink this show; the writers certainly haven't.

ntyce:
Uncle pls sit down....

That made no sense, too. He had the right to make his case to the lords, and they had the right to reject him. Rudeness is not intelligence.

I don't understand why Sansa still wants the north to be independent now that her brother is the king. I guess the writers wanted to appease women after destroying Dany. They shouldn't have destroyed Dany. Sansa has nothing on Dany. Dany was charismatic, clever and brave. Sansa is just bossy and rude. They should’ve found a way send Dany back to Mereen to continue her impressive career as the Breaker of Chains.

ntyce:
As the queen slayer he was no longer legitimate

The Lords could have agreed to pardon him, just as they agreed to elect Bran as King. Jaime was pardoned after slaying the Mad King, afterall.

It hurts that Dany didn't get to sit on the throne for a second before being killed. It's as if the show runners just wanted to frustrate her fans.

Nelsizzy:
So Bronn that had nothing to do with the Starks, he is not from a royal house gets to sit in the small council. For doing what exactly? Supporting the Lannisters or what?

Yep. And King Bran was okay with that despite being able to see everything that Bronn has ever done. The new regime is already bleeped.
