OMG. Am watching the women’s final at Roland Garros between Stosur and Schiavone. SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE. I am actually shaking. What is wrong with me? Why is tennis so freaky to watch? I haven’t ever even PLAYED tennis. Anyway, the first set is at the moment Stosur 4-3. Sam is making some errors but Schiavone is surprisingly really good which is frekaing me out. Sam you CAN win this. Anita, you are right. Schiavone is going for all the smart shots and goes for all of them. She keeps getting Stosur to the net who doesn’t look comfortable at. D=
COME ON STOSUR!!!! Its now 4 all. Both have really good kick serves but come on Stosur!!!
The good thing about Sam’s play is that she doesn’t show emotion so it looks like she doesn’t get angry or anything but that’s what it LOOKS like. SHIVERS. Schiavone is up 40 love in the 9th game. D= COME ON SAM YOU CAN DO THIS. USE YOUR AWESOME SERVE!!!!! Yes, she’s coming back. Stosur 40-15. You can bring it back to deuce. YESH!!!! Stosur 40-30. BREAK POINT!!!! SHIT. A double fault from Stosur gives Shiavone the lead 5-4. NOT GOOD.
At the moment, I am so scared. The crowd keeps ooh-ing and aah-ing and they’’re both ripping apart the ball. They’re just going for the balls so hard that it’s scaring me. YEP. Stosur is coming back. Clay courts are weird. How do they get the lines and don’t the lines get smished up into the clay?. WOW. Schiavone is really good. Her serves are just as killer as Stosur’s. Stosur has GOT to break back soon.
SET POINT for Schiavone. I can’t watch so I’m just going to keep typing. YES. Deuce. Adv. Schiavone. It’s always volleys that are catching Stosur. SET POINT AGAIN. Jinx hinx jinx jinx jinx. SHITE. Set point for Schiavone. 1st set 6-4.
SAMMY YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! The next set will be yours. =D A little optimism should do.
I’m going to not type until the end of the match. Typing is distracting me. I’m just going to just watch and hope she does something FANTASTIC =)
TEEHEE. So happy. So stosur lost the first set, but that’s ok (it was 6-4 Schiavone) but now she’s up 4-1 in the second set. Stosur looks more confident and relaxed now. By the way, did I tell you about my stupidity. I swear today is like my ‘stupid’ day. I should celebrate my stupidity every year on this day on the 5th of June (technically its 6th of June right now). So first, for bballl I went ALL The way to pymble, then found out it was cancelled when I got to a deserted school. BUT the courts were dry because me and the coach checked PLUS it was a blue sky and perfectly cloudless. So, now, I checked the TV guide like a gazillion times to see what time this program would start and I kept seeing 11:45PM but it was ACTUALLY 10:45PM ==’. So I ended up missing the whole of the first bit and I like watching the intros cos they show the epic run the finalists have to the end. SHITE. The set is now 4-2 Stosur but Schiavone is upping the anti. It’s 40 love Schiavone. =S. and then it’s an ace from Sam =D. damnit. Schiavone got the game AGAIN. Its now 4-3. Go forward sam, forward.
I’ve just realised: this could end disastrously and I will go mental and hit the TV with the remote if Stosur loses but now it looks so posisble unless she rips this set out of Schiavone’s hands. I want Schiavone to have some more double faults and unforced errors. That should do the job for Stosur. >=D. Omg. The linespeople scream so LOUD when they say ‘Out’ or ‘Fault’ that its piercing and just screams out from the TV. OK. Stosur, you’re down and you can’t let Schiavone take this game cos it’ll be 4 all AGAIN and you know what happened last set. This could be potentially over so soon. And it is 4 all.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE. OI OI OI. Hopefully my awesome shouting all the way from Australia-land can help you here because you are in a big fat puddle of trouble right now. You can sorta tell that the crowd is pro-Stosur cos everytime she wins the point, there’s this massive sigh of relief and when she doesn’t, there’s this massive OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH. YAY! Stosur just won the next game. Good on you Stosur! Told you so; my awesome aussie-oing helps =D. She can take this set and it can be up to the 3rd set for the champion to be decided. I don’t really like the Channel 9 coverage. I prefer the Channel 7 coverage of the Aus Open cos they show these epic slo-mos and you can see the sweat just flying off them and their eyes are so damn concentrated on the ball like they are going to rip it apart or something.
WOW. Schiavone is going for it alright. She’s really going for the aces. Please don’t make this a tiebreaker. Well, ok, to be fair, you can have a tiebreaker but you have to win by heaps =). OHMYGOSH. The second set is 5 all. OK. Sam Stosur, you could be 2 games away from giving away that big beautiful trophy. I want to see YOU take that trophy home and hold it up high and give an awesome speech in a press conference and we all want to celebrate back home and we all want it to be the top news tomorrow night. We want it to be on the front cover the Sunday Morning Herald and for me to shout it at Anita and everyone else at school and for me to not concentrate in Science because I’m reading all sorts of articles and blogs about your epic game (whether you win or lose) but dig in hard and that’s what you’re doing right now. =P.
AND SHE TAKES THE GAME. Stosur holds 6-5 in the second set. The thing with Schiavone is that she’s really smart and mixing it up for Stosur. OMNIGOSH. Yes, that’s right, OMNIGOSH, that’s how nerve-racking this game is. Shiavone is up 30 love and this could be a tiebreaker and .she could lose the tiebreaker and it would be the end… BUT Stosur could turn this around like she did with Serena and make this her game. Oh no. Schiavone is up 40-15. This really could be a tiebreaker. So it is a tiebreaker. This could be the last part and maybe Stosur won’t win and Schiavone will. All those people who believed in Stosur will be crushed and all those who believed in an Italian winning a Grand Slam will be elated. COME ON AUSSIE COME ON. COME ON AUSSIE COME ON. Stosur takes the 1st point. Can someone please make Schiavone lose some nerves or something??? 1 all. Stosur 1-2. Stosur 2 all. It’s like a volleyball with these two. The points bounce back and forth, back and forth. Stosur 2-4 =S. Fight fight fight to the end. UH OH. Stosur 2-5. I think we’re just about to be all proved wrong. Seriously. Schiavone is so close to winning. I can’t watch. OHMYGOSH. CHAMPIONSHIP POINT. No, Stosur you CANNNNNN turn this around. Somehow, you can. I fail to believe that Schiavone can win the French Open. I believe you can though. Somehow.
OK. Schiavone has won. The end. I can imagine Anita cringing and so am I. I am cringing a LOT. AWWW. They’re so nice to one another. They give each other a big hug. The score: 6-4, 7-6 Schiavone. So you didn’t win Stosur, but you got this far. What WILL make me happy is if you win Wimbledon and the US Open and the Aus Open. I feel so sorry for Sam’s parents because they flew ALL the way from Australia just to see her win, and everyone thought she would win, but she didn’t. Something happened tonight. Stosur wasn’t quite the same as we have seen her before, against Henin, Williams, Jankovic. Sam had beaten Schiavone 4 times before but this time she didn’t. BIG PAT ON THE BACK FOR YOU SAM :) I can’t believe this is happening. Hey, but let’s all remember, Sam has done us proud. She was drawn in the hardest part of the Open Draw. And she got this far. Sam goes up to get her mini trophy which she should be so proud of. Her first ever Grand Slam thingymajig. Schiavone looks a little like a man if you put your mind to it… o.0. What a way to end my blog. Schiavone gets to sing her national anthem but I’d prefer to hear the Australian anthem.
Sam looks sad. =( I want to go up there and make her smile. Sam is grimacing and half-crying through her speech. You can do this. Schiavone is holding the trophy almost up her nose. O.0
Bye blog. I am in sorrow and I believe Anita is in sorrow too and so is every other patriotic Australian and Sam Stosur fan. =(
