Vika being kind to her and not hitting the ball straight at her

[Marc]

[Marc]

THE AUSTRALIANS HAVE KILLED LI NA

[Marc]

If she wins she'll be the biggest hero ever

[Munchkins]

Must be weird in australia
The kids are on summer holidays and they get christmas, new year, then australia day all in one season
then nothing.. and the kids go back to school :SS must be really weird to have all the events so close

[Drew.]

Li Na is the master of putting a combo of injuries together in 1

[Novo]

At least Vika only faked 1 injury.. Li Na has faked 2 now

[Marc]

Fgs I saw Vika pouring some of her drink on that patch earlier

[Novo]

:joker: :joker:

[Marc]

I have some Codeine for her if she wants it

[Marc]

[Marc]

If she drops to her knees or some s*** when she wins I'll find her and slap her

She doesn't deserve this win :hmph:

[Maia]

Vika is 2 games away from defending that title of hers :pipe:

[Locke.]

If only Jamie Hampton hadn't of got injured :(

[Maia]

Oh great looks like Li's clawing it back

[Maia]

Crowd couldn't be making it more obvious they're anti-Vika :joker:

[Novo]

Now then Vika...

[Marc]

Frustrating :laugh:

[Drew.]

when Vika lifts her trophy, will it only be her and Redfoo cheering?

[Marc]

Now then Vika...

Women's finals should be best of 5 sets

[Maia]

Hope Vika does win now just to put this silly crowd in their place

[Novo]

Championship point

[Maia]

cHAMPIONSHIP POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maia]

Defended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

Congratulations to Vika :pipe: have to feel for Li tho

[Maia]

Want to give her a great big hug

[Marc]

Good girl, not an arrogant celebration

[Marc]

Hardly any clapping though :joker:

[Locke.]

Didn't deserve to win really based on the whole tournament but well done I suppose. Hopefully she makes the most of it it is Sabine's next year.

[Maia]

Li was obviously the peoples champion and the person they wanted to see win but don't care really Vika4lyf

[IheartBB]

Undoubtably the luckiest grand slam run in history of the world ever.

[Drew.]

:joker: Redfoo

[Locke.]

This is Redfoo's moment

[Novo]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

What an amazing Champion

[Drew.]

poor Li

[Maia]

What a great prediction from myself

[Marc]

Crowd could have at least courtesy clapped when she won

[Maia]

^ Exactly

[Novo]

Nice reception there for Vika

[Marc]

Alison Lang! :worship:

[Marc]

^ Exactly

They're assholes

[Maia]

LOL Spot on Marc :idc:

[Marc]

Congrats Li :)

Amazing tournament, I think she could have won without that injury but that's part of tennis, she should be able to move about without hurting herself

[Maia]

Nice girl this Li

[Maia]

:joker: She's lovely

[Drew.]

Li's won a whole bunch of new fans

[Marc]

:joker: She's so charming... I think it's because she has a great grasp on British/American humour and its funny to hear her try to say it

[Maia]

Vika!!!!!!!!! :worship:

[Marc]

Imagine this cheering/clapping had Li won.

We would have been able to hear it from here

[Marc]

Imagine this cheering/clapping had Li won.

We would have been able to hear it from here

[Maia]

Redfoo!

Would have been like Murray winning the Olympics all over again

[Marc]

'Get Your Grunt On'

:joker: wtf

[Marc]

Vika winning some fans.

[Drew.]

Good speech

[Marc]

Novo must be dying to get a new Signature

[Novo]

Vika just trolled the fans completely :joker: :joker: :joker: she came with the reception of a serial Killer and then she has won the Tournament and it all ended with a great reception, what a girl. just worship her

[Marc]

So glad Turkish Airlines has some real champions in their adverts

[Novo]

I don't know what to do with myself now.. i feel like life is complete

[Marc]

God I hope Ross Hutchins gets better soon, his voice is horrible to listen to

[Munchkins]

Very well done to Vika, lovely woman and she did amazing to defend :love:
commiserations to Li and i hope she can clench another grand slam one day :)

[King Gizzard]

she is dryer than the sahara desert

[Novo]

The ESPN commentators actually did a good job after the match ended, thought they'd hate her after all the Sloane thing but they seemed to more against the crowd

[Novo]

she is dryer than the sahara desert

Probably a more genuine reaction then last year when she just collapsed on her Knees and did the whole cocky pointing thing towards her team ( i liked that reaction though but if she did that today then she would have been slaughtered )
