Womens semis going on now.

Konta has thrown away 3 set points and is 5-5 in a match rather shamefully moved to the outside courts and the stands are half empty.

Barty has proper bottled it. 5-0 in the first set, goes 6-5 down before breaking back then loses the tiebreak.

If Konta tries a drop shot 1 more time i'm going to scream!

Don't think the weather is helping, but that was a proper nervy game by Konta when she could've won the first set by holding serve. Hope she forces a tiebreak at least now.

Indeed.

As for Konta, I really should get behind her. Alright she grew up in Australia but she was a naturalised Brit in 2012 (moved here aged 14) and lives in Sussex. But for some reason she annoys me.

Really poor game management to throw the set away.

 

[Simster]

Oh dear. She has clearly settled into being a British tennis player absolutely perfectly.

Let me help with that.

But her parents are British aren’t they.... oh.

The Barty Anisimova semi is bonkers.

First set, Barty wins first 5 games, loses next 6, eventually loses 7-6
Second set, Barty loses first 3 games, reels off the next 6.

This is going to be very close in the 2nd set.

Konta is very chokey

 

[Albion_Dave]

Good hold. In the end.

Konta is very chokey

Blown 5-3 leads in both sets now. Lovely stuff.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Completely choked twice. Rattled

 

[Albion_Dave]

Really poor from the Aussie.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Useless Australian.

I miss Murray

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Another 'English' semi final choker, 2 in about 12 hours is quite impressive, even by our standards.

Useless Australian.

This. Proper Brits whose mum moved them both to Spain to make sure they turned out winners. Repaid in spades with Olympic and Davis cup wins for his country, and not to mention Grand Slam wins for himself. An absolute legend.

Given how badly the LTA coached Jamie, Its not a shock she moved Andy out the system.

Vondrousova did nothing to win that, Konta handed it to her.

Konta won’t reach a GS final, so weak.
