never ever fed penko with fast balls, she will take it by adding more power to it... that mistake took on toll putintseva, but krejcikova played a lot smarter... big hitters rely heavily on winners and opponent's unforced errors, but they also make lots of unforced error if they are forced in long rally...
Ostapenko is a counter puncher. She will punish your attacks if they're not good enough. She doesn't really like it if she has to build on the points or create own pace on the ball
Barbora Krejčíková is one of only two active female players to have won a major title in all three disciplines, alongside Venus Williams. She has won one Grand Slam singles title and ten major doubles titles, including the career Super Slam in women's doubles.
@@postive-vibes Barbora Krejcikova is mentally one of the strongest players on tour right now. It's incredibly difficult to defeat her when she is on top of her game like she is in this tournament. I think she will give to Rybakina run for her money if she will keep playing like that.
Krejcikova may have the best technique in women's tennis right now. The way she shapes and varies her shots totally minimized Ostapenko's power game. That was a beautiful match.
Wow Barbora was on fire! 🔥 She has the power and wide variety of shots necessary to beat any of the top players, on any surface. But didn’t know she was this good on grass! Go Barbora! 🏆
@@Dafalex22 To 99.999% of guys, anna kalinskaya and camila giorgi are beautiful. They definitely cannot see the beauty in Barbora krejcikova, umpire marija cicak, former coach of garbine muguruza Conchita Martinez etc.

Barbi is a great player. She lacks the charisma of others, but she has beautiful form, strategizes well, gets to almost every ball, is happy to just volley at a moderate pace, but then is capable of unleashing deceptively fast-paced crosscourt shots that devastate. She seems to be playing a simply defensive game but her right arm is lightning quick. Her game is too well-rounded for Osty to bludgeon her into submission. And, let's face it, Osty is the great slammer of our time, but like all slammers -- say, Babe Ruth as a baseball equivalent -- she strikes out a lot. Barbi just too good! Congrats, Barbi!!
Krejcikova's strategy was simple but extremely effective. She was able to keep 'The Great and Powerful Os' off balance with body serves on occasions and then serves out wide, which were out of her strike zone and out of reach. She employed the same strategy with her ground strokes. The curtains were pulled back, the GREAT OS had no cover.
@@rafarequeni822 Musetti and Dimitrov usually use it well, and Alcaraz has used it to neutralize Sinner. But the GOAT backhand slice has to belong to Tsitsipas
Its not surprising. Ostapenko can brilliant one day and then tank the next. Though she didn’t tank here she should of never lost that second set..just lackluster performance..as someone else put it.”.if she won the tournament I wouldn’t be surprised if she lost in the 1st round I wouldn’t be surprised.
Impressive court coverage by Barb. Jelena might have been alittle off but Baarb deserved the win. The point in the 2nd set, up 5-3 in the TB, Jelana had control of the point but Barb kept digging. That was a back breaker. No shame in the loss, Barb is a top 10 talent.
Wow, Krejcikova was playing her best today. Didn’t know she can play such fast and accurate balls, especially against a hard-hitter like Ostapenko. She is also more emotional, I think she is on fire.
Absolutely a relentless performance from Krejcikova. Whenever insolent and impudent Latvian tennis player loses, it is the poetic justice. This Latvian player has such a shameless and barefaced character with her demeanours and manners. I am really pleased to see the victory of Barbora with her resilience and movement. Huge congratulations to Czech tennis competitor!
Как Рыбе выиграть у ТАКОЙ Крейчиковой? 🙄Только если у нее будет первая подача. Или если Барбара сама отдаст матч, во что мало верится, так как она уже вошла в "боевой режим"...
hell no she is not, Barbora has way more variety to her game, Medvedev has just the baseline and only occasionally goes to the net. really boring to watch, him
Ostapenko can be relied upon not to take the extra step or two she needs, especially when the ball is hit deep. I believe Einars refers to that as the other players cheating by using the full court or the umpires failing to call balls deep in the court out. After all, Ostapenko only loses due to global conspiracies. 😂
Krejcheatiková can still win, it seems. I hope Rybakina takes care of her. Such a shame that Kvitová is no longer the player she was. I was hoping to see her win another Wimbledon.
What a disappointment from Ostapenko. Needs more mental coaching. Should of never lost that second set. With that game she has she should win every match. Seemed lackluster here. Its either all or nothing from her..no in between.
Perfect example of someone showing their hand too early! Penko was so loud about her power and Barbara brought out slice, feel, and touch to test it 😭
She had pretty good pace on her shots.
That swing 👌, the slices slowing Ostapenko down. Penko likes fast games...
So true such beautiful groundstrokes - she is by far my favorite player on the tour

Both have won just 1 GS and on clay.
Final quality at QF ticket price.
Superb shots from both.
The return from BK at 4:11 was sublime.
Love Krejcikova style. So many slices, ball placing before hard hitting, great touch, playing smart. And she ran a lot here, even 😅

Those slices were so effective at neutralizing Penko's power. Such a variety of shots, a real pleasure to watch
Agree
Love watching Barbora - she is such an underrated player and such great technique and tactics

Wow, Osta's weak point is slice ball in grass court!
She was able to absorb Ostapenko's pace and able to run down a lot of balls. Good use of her tools to win.
Krejcikova played a very intelligent match, mixing up the pace and not trying to out hit Ostapenko.
Krej peaking during Wimbledon is a pleasant surprise! I can see her giving Rybakina a challenge.
slice game is really effective in the wta.. Barty used it a lot on her game now Barbora is doing fine with it.
It is really effective in the ATP... if there were any players left who knew how to hit it.

It's sad that Barbora has to play Elena in SF. It's a final worthy match 😢
sad for Elena
True
But she won!
@@MichaelN80 i was right, but Paolini will win the final
told u so
To je prostě naše Bára. 👏👏👍👍
Barbora using her court IQ to beat the solid, hard hitting player Ostapenko. Putintseva did the same when she beat Swiatek in the third round.
Barbora mixed it up , hitting good length, no grunts and groans, well played.
Just here for all of the people that wasted words saying Penko was going to beat Barbora
I've actually never run into an Ostapenko fan.
The defense from Barbora was insane
Krejcikova the smarter, faster and craftier player won. Ball bashing doesn't work all the time. Ostapenko had no plan B.
I came here to see the handshake...
Ostapenko was a bit off kilter in this game. Krejcikova slowed it down too much and her grunts were thrown off.
Its not surprising. Ostapenko can brilliant one day and then tank the next. Though she didn’t tank here she should of never lost that second set..just lackluster performance..as someone else put it.”.if she won the tournament I wouldn’t be surprised if she lost in the 1st round I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’m really happy for Barbora 😀😀👍👍
not showing the handshake, come on
hahahaah especially penko lost
There is clip that shows a hug after the handshake ✅
Oh really, quite rare to see warm handshake and hug when penko lost. 😂😂😂
I like both these ladies style of play ( Ostapenko is my favorite but Barbora is great too. ) I hope Barbora or Jasmine wins the whole thing
If Krejcikova wins the final, I'll memorize the spelling of her last name for the rest of this year. She played like Iga playing on clay!
Moving around the court, yes. Iga doesn’t do slices much. 😅
Excellent all around player and class act. Go get it Barbora
2:18 Point of the tournament!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon Barbora!! A huge Congrats!! Keep moving on this Sat and raise up the Venus Rosewater Dish.
Fantastic defense to offensive play by Barbora she really dug in in this match. I was disappointed she beat Collins but now I’m cheering for her

Looks like she outsmarted Ostapenko. Well done!

@@scout7060 Only because Barbora hugged Penko, it took her by surprise. Otherwise it would have been Penko's usual.

Where's the handshake lol
And... Ostapenko only tactics is boom boom boom... 😂
There are more net approach points on clay. This looked more like a Rolland Garros match! Baseline slug fest.
A big lesson on how to defend well...😅
No this is not the flag of Latvia
I am pretty sure real tennis fans are happy seeing Ostapenko lost
Not KrejciKOva, but KREJcikova.
So sad for penko.. Huhuju way to go..
I love tennis, but I can’t stand screaming tennis players. It’s just an odd behavior to scream at every shot!
Too many “come ons” from Barbie LOL I thought Oyster was gonna get triggered by it 😂
OSTAPENKO IS GETTING WORSE...! WHOEVER COACHES THIS WOMAN, PLEASE ALLOW HER TO GET A NEW COACH TO IMPROVE HER WAY OF PLAY BEFORE GETTING LATER.
Бесстыжие! Вести 4:1 и так отлиться! Никакого стыда и совести нет!
Bye bye, Penko!
I'm so glad she lost.
Penko is too fa.....
There are multiple bad things to say about her, and nothing good.
Penko will always remain one hit wonder girl like Stephens, Raducanu etc.
