Barbora Krejcikova : great defence , concentration and technique. Cold blooded. Seeing her keep fighting and her mentality after the wrong call match point made me big fan of her. Big respect from Greece and good luck in the final !
Sakkari more like Chokkari
@@velipulla3936 I wouldn't call it a choke, Maria fought off some match points herself.
@@demigod1013 Issa always choke when you got match points
@@velipulla3936 Its not a fukin choke if you had 1match point kid are u dumb? Choke if when u have 5 1 5 2 5 0 in last set one point means nothing so shut up

This match is the reason why I love tennis so much, pure talent, courage and nerves of steel. Congrats to Barbora!!!
Oh yeah, nerves for sure!
Since that moment Iga Świątek won 3 Roland Garros titles (regaining her 2020 crown) and Barbora Krejcikova lost in 1st round 3 times in a row.
Krejcikova doesn't get the media attention, she never has the crowd support, and to top it off the chair umpire calls Sakkari's ball in when hawkeye showed it to be out, on MATCH POINT no less...and she still wins! She was born to play tennis -- one of the purest ball-strikers I've ever seen -- and if she was 5 years younger we'd all be talking about her as the future of tennis. What a rock-star.
At 25 she has several great years left
Jana Novotna is looking down and very proud of her. I hope she will win but both finalists are very nice players.
People don't know who she is.
She had mine. I loved the way she surprise. Don't you remember ? I am the one who asked her if she'd marry me.
She won hearts of million
Yesss
Yes indeed.
@@payrolldepartment5678She won mine this tournament 100%
The best match of this year's French Open, men's and women's combined. And one of the best matches of the year -- in terms of tension, drama, back and forth, the contrasting styles in temperament and play: the fiery Sakkari vs. ice-cool Krejčíková. Simply brilliant!
Sakkari more like Chokkari
Very true!
There are still 3 matches left but I don't think they will top that.
I think the Casper Ruud vs Davidovich-Fokina match was just as good as this one. Sure it wasn't a semifinal, but it was a very high quality match from both guys. Still the two best matches of the tournament so far.
@@samy29987 True, that was a great match. Also the Nadal-Tsitsipas Barcelona match. But I would still pick this match, as the best of the year. As for the reasons mentioned in the original comment.
There are times you just gotta wish the quiet one wins.. This was one of those times..
YEESSS. But not Only the quiet one - I have not been familiar with barbora and after 15 minutes she was my favorite player. I mean WHAT IS THAT FOR A GAME! she swings the racquet if it was training and the ball has the greatest power I basically seen. These long, fast flat balls effortlessly hit.
Kuddos for Krejcikova! She was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Such a mental strength and creativity, very inteliigent and precise shots! Greetings from Peru!
I was not familiar with Barbora's game but I'm a fan now, mostly because of the variety of her game plus her calm demeanor.
What a nail-biting match and what great fighting spirit from the two warriors. These are the kind of matches, which make Tennis so entertaining to watch.
Sakkari more like Chokkari
Entertainment with 111 turnovers and only 7 aces???
3 hours of turnovers we saw, no rhythm at all!
They were hitting so hard like men, it was amazing to see
@@velipulla3936 koulussa sulle opetetaan, että toisto on opintojen äiti kun pitää joka paikkaan samaa kommenttia viljellä?
The quiet, calculating, cerebral player won. No noise needed, just good tennis and point construction.
Exactly. So glad that loud grunting she man is out.
@@gloriaevans6359 I think Maria sakkari is a real girl
Traduzca mi comentario al inglés: por que perdió medvédev siendo un jugador tranquilo, frio, y que construye los puntos. En la final contra Nadal? A veces puede ganar el fuego en las batallas que el hielo en este caso krejcikova en ese partido
Such a great ball striker. Just love watching her hit. It's just so clean.
Excellent! Mademoiselle Krejcikova.
I hope she wins it all, stayed so calm during the match. In addition she has beaten some tough players along the way, well done Barbora.
She deserves to win! She played awesome
*Barbora
The winner girl didnt raise her voice even after she won! Cold blooded! Maria on the other hand screamed at every winner she took. Greek!
The nerves took over .
This is Czech tennis school with huge history of Champions and another one is here right now!!!🎾🙏🏻👏
best, most dramatic female tennis match i ever saw. both deserved the final but barbora made it, hope she will win.
Man, i can't help but agree. LONGEST Women's French Open Semi final in the Open era.
As a huge Sakkari fan, i am gutted, mentally drained, empty inside....every negative emotion. But Congrats to Barbora, milestone win and she earned it. Both girls played their hearts out in the biggest match of their career (SO FAR).
BOTH saved match points , Both made some insane shots and won some insane points. I just wish Maria would have been able to serve it out when she had the chance...but you can't mentally train for this type of pressure. She will be back tho. This is only the begging for her, she just now is realizing her potential.
Dramatic? Absolutely! But nowhere near best unless you don't watch tennis often. The level was absolutely atrocious for 2 and a half set. Still, I enjoyef watching it very much
hmm gr8 play from barbora, but i wanna pav 2 win title
pav is my fav:)
@@madhedgehog5652 I absolutely agree. The level of play was really scrappy in the first two sets. I still enjoyed the match though especially in the third set.
It was probably the most dramatic grand slam SF I ever saw, rooting for Barbora to win!
I very much like the style of Krejcikova. Very calm, strong, concentrated on what she is doing and not on herself. Great job!
Started out rooting for Sakkari but then started cheering on Barbora. Her ice-cool demeanor and temperament won me over.
Indeed,even when she was hitting winners :
No boisterous,loud celebration,she stayed :
Calm,kool and lazer focused ✦
No noise, antics and drama. Just beautiful elegant tennis from Krejcikova...
Well said.
Same ! I was 100% team Sakkari the first two sets. But Barbora just grew on me, i just admired her temper and determination so much
The best match of year .congrats barbora
I loved the kiss being sent to Jana Novotná!
Wonder if Barbora got some training from Novotna? Just asking? RIP Novotna!
@@teresavirina7735 She did, she was her first coach and mentor.
Best woman’s match of the tournament !
Both ladies left it on the the court today. Bravo 👏👏
She had to win the match twice guys! Saved a matchpoint, first time in a position like this. She is absolutely amazing! Plus a really nice and humble person.
Yes, she's a lovely person and I am rooting for her to win but it's gonna be tough. Anastasia is quite nice too. It's one of those finals where I actually like both players.
And a cheater
@@davidfernandezortiz9251 get a life
@@quiquiqui who are you? Her brother? 🤣😂🤣
Stunning match from both women!
I'm still stunned. Especially by that overrule on match point for Krejcikova!
Boring match to be honest.
Posted 1 minute ago and already a like. Well done, Sreeram
@@SreeramReddyB it wasn't boring, it was full of emotions
Fully deserved.... well done....Sakari fans gave me headache yesterday about her will reach the final easy!!.... here you go! !!!
It was hard to choose who to support! What a great match! But after Krejcikova was screwed over on match point by an umpire error, it seems only fair that she won it.
She doesn't make a single sound. Cool as a cucumber!! What a match.
Compared with Serena, too much sound , and still lost the match .
Krejcikova really amazed me with her absolute concentration and calm way of playing. She is so serious and devoted to what she is doing and her whole game was full of brilliant tactics. Sakkari wasn't really there mentally, she needed to be calmer. Greetings from Greece!
To be fair, she was there and could just as easily have won it. I am a Krecikova fan, but much respect to both players!
Krejčíková is the female Sinner- quiet, cool, and collected
Very Calm.
Kuddos for Krejcikova! She was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Greetings from Peru!
@@gentlemanjim480 Sakkari was there as a player but not quite mentally. And that was one of the reasons she lost. She is an amazing player with great ground strokes but she needs to work on her temper imo. Still though we watched an amazing match so you are right, both players deserve credit 😁
Down a break in the final set - check
Recovered from that break - check
Saved a match point - check
Was given a wrong call ( against )at match point - check
But still regrouped to win the match in the same game- check
This is what I call a bang for your buck match !
That's Czech 🙂
The woman has nerves of steel. The final will be amazing. I don’t know who to support.
CZECH!!
@@falks941 I know. I will support Barbora :)
It’s her destiny I guess
What they didn't show that Krejcikova also had a match point at 40-.30, Sakkari hit a ball out but the umpire said it was good. Hawkeye later confirmed it to be out. Glad Krejcikova still won in the end.
Yes, and despite this, she kept calm !
@@karasorceliere So impressive to stay calm and hold her nerve after that wrong call.
@@bweb6 Sure, i admired Barbora's reaction ! Great ! Even if my fav is Maria Sakkari and i wanted her to win.
Hawkeye is not used on clay for a reason. It isn't precise enough. It is wrong for tv broadcast to use this technology. If it isn't good enough to use on court, it isn't good enough for tv either.
@@eric69571 I watched the game. The ball was CLEARLY out. You don't need Hawkeye for that, just a normal eye. The referee's error was scandalous.
Krejcikova didn’t win because she has a huge serve or ground stroke. She simply plans on keeping the ball in play and placing in the best angles and lines on the court. Once your out of place she will hit a winner. Pure intelligence
She dug in that’s for sure. But to my view Sakkari choked this match. Her FH which was loose and on fire against Swiatek got massively tight from 5-3 on
She actually has a lot of power
@scout yes, she isn’t a pusher. She is an aggressive smart player who waits for the opportunity
Krejcikova did so well to stay calm and hold her nerve after that wrong call late in the third set too. Impressive, really.
@@juancarlostovarrivera7399 - Exactly sometimes it works to your advantage not to belt the balls back all the time. Wonder why most players don't do it especially against players who need pace. Also slow shots can put the timing off for the hard hitters!
Krejcikova from a doubles specialist now making a splash on Singles clay. It doesn't get any better than that but Awesome amazing. She can handle under pressure on match points. Mark of a champion.
Gutted for Sakkari cause she has put in INSANE amounts of mental and physical work to reach this stage after not even being a top 200 junior coming up in her younger age. But she is only now realizing her potential and she will be back in this stage stronger!
Congrats to Barbora
She will not be stronger. This semi is her limited. At this semi final she was accidental tourist. Alas last time in her carrier
agreed, as a tennis player and fan i have to agree she has put on a lot of work same the ukranian girl... marth kostyuk. (sp?). Who has worked super hard... wow I can imagine. It is almost heartbreaking to see.
@@miroslawjaranowski1886 *limit *career
Let us be serious, this is the peak of all four semi finalists. It is the wta
Tbh looks like she’s also put in some steroids
Wow, what a great match .
Congratulations to Barbora!!
I know you will make the final. 🤗
And keeping my fingers crossed for the last match.
This match was insane! Barbora is the greatest fighter I have ever seen!
Bravo Krajcikova I knew You win Goodluck Girl
Fun fact: Krejčíková actually won the match two points prior. The chair umpire ruled it in, but hawk-eye showed the ball was out. Would have been gut-wrenching to lose in that manner.
Sakkari more like Chokkari
When Sakkari complained about her ball being out, she already lost the match
From nobody knows, to the whole world know her . Barbora is unbelievable.
What a match🙂drama,thriller and rollercoaster.Thanks to You both.Barbora You were incredible.Good luck in the final.
She has so many matches in her legs /single, double - semifinals and quarterfinal - mixed double/. I'm affraid she'll be able to play two more games.
@@zencosuzuki8496 I hope she will win.She is strong🙂Jana Novotna is looking after her❤️
@@barbarapietrzak4948 I also hope she will win the final 🙂❤️ I remember her fight with our Iga in Rome. She is amazing.
@@barbarapietrzak4948 I didn't know Jana Novotna was dead. R.I.P.
Maria using drop shots even at match point against such a competent doubles player like Barbora was a big mistake!
A very poorly hit drop shot, to boot. It was practically in the middle of the court.
That is the way to never give up!!!!! Yes, she's smiling down at you. Great job.
I can't believe we're going to see a classic Czech vs. Russia showdown at RG this year. Hats off to Krejcikova and very well played from Maria
Which girl comes from Russian? I thought it’s Czech vs Greek?
@@wenhuihou3592 Krejcikova and Pavlyuchenkova are both playing in the final.
@@wenhuihou3592 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova comes from Russia. Barbora Krejčíková is from Moravia (Czech Republic)
3 Hours in 5 minute, incredible. The best games in Roland Garros 2021
The best? ;DDDDDDDDD
Wow these two put on quite a show.
The Czech’s backhand is killer!
The way Barbora react with every point just so humble ,I can see her resemblance with Jana Novotna ,just pure talent.
4:34 Czech people say that this is an honor to one of the best and most known czech actresses, who unfortunately passed away, yesterday. What a player🇨🇿🇨🇿
The kiss to heaven was most probably for Jana Novotna, the signature on camera was for the actress Libuse Safrankova.
yes, she played in a czech adaptation of Cinderella :(
what an intense match, congrats to both girls
Indeed ✦
Barbora has a really fluid swinging motion on both forehand and backhand, great to see!
Yep her timing is beautiful
Sakkari blew it in the 3rd set with 2 chances to close out the match. Props to Krejcikova for coming back from 5-3 down to force deuce and win it.
from serve, forehand, backhand, slice, she did it very well,,
I'm happy she won is a pretty quiet and mobilized player in her game I love her very and I wish to win the cup
The things Barbora is so calm through out her entire matches even on her final point
She said it is because of her fahter who behaved the same way all his life. Genes are amazing, but not my case tho lol
Congrats to Barbora, good job👏👏👏great match, so excited 😳
Krejcikova's saving points was really impressive to me
The way Krejcikova winds her backhand up its such a great disguise because you don't know where she's going to direct the ball.
sakkari we are very proud of your effort.you are a lion inside-outside.you are the best,you are a legend for us.the others are affraid when you are opposite.we love you more than stefanos.we are waiting the next game.our heart will be with you.we wish you would do the best that you want
I would of had a mental breakdown if Maria won because Barbara already had won with the match but the umpire said it was in and it was clearly out (on the tv screen they showed) I would of felt really mad and upset if she lost since she technically won.
Yes can understand if it was close to the line but it was nowhere near it, that decision could have cost Barbara up to 1.1 million euros
Krejcikova handled that really well to not let it distract her. Unfortunately the umpire makes the final decision nothing can be done - she can only question his call but thankfully kept her focus and Sakkari made another error trying to go for a winner which landed just off the court again ! .But this time the umpire got it right. Sakkari then dropped a ball too short and Krejcikova was on it with a shot down the line to win the match.
Well done. Totally desrved. RG needs hawk eye.
Clay tournament's make a clear mark.....what should happen is it shouldn't be down to human error....if there are marks in a similar area....there is not a 100% chance for the ump to actually check the right mark. If we had a computer to track the mark, maybe you could watch it on the monitor....would be similar to hawk-eye but just show you an aerial of the actual mark. That way you know what you're looking at.
@@ldeue4837 .. Simple answer is ... RG needs hawk eye ... they are still living in stone age when technology can make everyone's lives much better. If Maria sakkari would have won today then this match could have been the worst umpiring match ever. In the end, all's well that ends well.
@@ldeue4837 I think there may be too many ball marks on the court, perhaps they should sweep the court twice per set at least? It surely shouldn't take that long to do. It always better anyway to play on a clean court.
@@ldeue4837 why bother with all that just use hawk eye lol, problem solved
They even look at the correct mark and still screw the calls up.
What a painful loss for sakari 😭
Great match congratulations to the finallist.
Fantastic match . Barbara play her good side, with cool mind and control on every shot in last set, , i wish her to achieve the title, , great performance 👍🙏❤
She’s so good!!!! Really a great match!!
That was a thriller.
Match had a little of everything in it... especially drama lol. Congrats Krejcikova!!! Good semi final. I see good things coming for Sakkari.
Tennis is more than just running. Congrats Barbora.
Such a coward, he cant even make his point in a direct way at a yt comment. If u think u can almost reach the rg final by just running that shows all u need to know..
Fun fact: Should Barbora Krejcikova go on to win both RG singles and doubles titles this year she would be the first since 2000's Mary Pierce.
Bonne chance !
And quarterfinal in double mixed.
wouldn't be lovely she's the triple crown winner? That would be super amazing!!!!
Lucie Šafářová didn't make it in 2015. She win doubles title with Bethanie Mattek-Sands and lost final against Serena.
@@marty2369 So Barbora could be better. I hope Iga with Bethanie lift the trophy at the end and Barbora will win in singles:)
@@zencosuzuki8496 I'm hoping the same for Iga. Would like to see her take home some silverware.
Finals in both singles and doubles… mad respect 🤩
The problem with Sakkari was that she got carried away before winning and she allowed the crowd to get into her her head. The crowd also played a huge part in her loss because they overhyped her at the expense of her opponent. On the other hand Krejcikova won because she is tenacious and mentally strong.
Andile Ncube. What an inane comment to make.
You people really just write any old nonsense and hit "reply" don't you...
Right, Sakkari got carried away with her crowdsourcing instead of concentrating on her own game. Her manly swagger didn't scare Krejcikova.
They’re both very mentally strong it was a tight game
MUCH RESPECT for both players. Really great tennis played in this match. It's painful that someone has to lose.
What Swiatek had at last year's open, Krejcikova has this year: relentlessness, shot-making ability, confidence and mental toughness.
Yes is true
Although their runs are very different - Iga never lost a set whereas Barbora has had to come back from all sorts of sticky situations!
Swiatek last year is not comparable to Krejcikova. Iga was superstrong and played to win. Krejcikova just played for not to lose. Without her doubles run Iga would have won this year, too.
@@peterhammer4644 you don't know that. Iga had an off day against an inspired opponent - it happens to the best of them.
@@andrewmark2783 Fair points - def different paths to the final, but I feel like she's just been strong throughout this year. I think she takes down the final.
Kreiji omg what a player !!!!
Krejickova is a very solid player. She will win if she continues to be consistent on her game. I like her solid groundstrokes. Its solid and precise. Not too hard but its enough to win the point and low margin for error.
Krejcikova has a beautiful game!
Where was Krejcikova all these years? One of the most cerebral players out there and has an all-around game, including a killer backhand and sublime net skills.
Sakkari plays great against power-player, deflecting the pace with interest. But Krejcikova mixed up things so well-- moonballing to the weaker Sakkari backhand, creating sharp angles, wrong-footing the Greek, and just not giving the pace (very Medvedv like, in her game style)
Perfectioning her game. Cerebral, she has always been, but she wasn't that good in hitting deep, flat balls close to the baseline, nor in changing pace and direction. And her serve has improved a lot too - Sakkari's has improved even more, though. Not everyone is a Monica Seles, or a CoCo Gauff, there are many late bloomers too.
She was playing doubles all the time. She just emerged in singles in 2020 on grand slam level. Amazing . And it looks like she will lift the trophy.
That's why she beat Swiatek who can also hit hard but not as hard as Sakkari. And she is 20, has to get more experience against power players.
@@piotrwolski4641 swiatek hits way harder than Sakkari? What are you saying?
@@piotrwolski4641 she did not beat I.Ś. it was the other way around
Sakkari should play on the ATP mens tour
Where’s the controversial match point for Babora!? Terrible editing for highlights.
Deliberate. The mistake was by a referee, part of the organisation. This is an official channel, they won't show their mistakes :-)
I also don't understand why they don't show the handshakes in the highlights. It's one of the more emotional things I look for tht is part of the match.
Krejcikova like silent killer in this match,, hard work for Sakkari, try again next year and Congrats for Krejcikova 👍👍
Best female match in a very long time, maybe ever actually
Dramatic as hell but not great standard.
The first two sets were actually very scrappy and not the highest quality tennis. Although, i thought it was still very dramatic and highly enjoyable.
It was close but there were so many errors.
Krejcikova with masterful crosscourt strategy. I'm glad she won.
Congratulations to Borbora well deserved
An unstoppable force against an immovable object. In the end, Krejcikova was too much of an obstacle for Sakkari to surpass. Both delivered an incredible game though, the best so far in Roland Garros 2021, in any category, and one of the best in all slams this season. I was cheering for Maria but now I fully support Barbora for the title. She totally deserves it!
Imagine we had Djoko or Kyrgios in Barbora's situation facing the umpire when he said the adversary ball was good when it was clearly out !!! More over a matchball ! I can imagine a thunder storm fire strike atomic furious reaction
@scout Well Djoko furious like yesterday night is not so easy to face ! I like him even when he gets mad on court! Haha !
Very very well said, she was so so calm, and even sakkari was trynna hype up tha crowd when she had match point. Being humble will make you go much further
@scout With our Djoko, we never know... Everything is possible !
@@eddiefrith7277 Sakkari had the entire crowd behind her, she was loving it and kept raising her arms up like ' louder ! I can't hear you!' 😏 I don't recall her doing that before in a match. But it was an exciting SF..
Great match, and exciting finish. Both players were tested mentally and physically.
Brawo Barbora, super mecz.
Where is the main highlight moment, when Krejcikova was robbed by umpire on the (first) win???
This Barbora is very dangerous on clay. Last time , she also almost beat on fire IGa. She does not hit super hard but her stroke is stable and her placement is sooo good
Epic. And people want to rant about the absence of big names. Just enjoy fantastic tennis.
Amazing that neither of these two powerhouses even look tired after 38 games!
Krejcikova is one of the rare women players who uses and understands the value of a good sliced backhand to defend herself but also to cause problems for power players to generate pace on a shot when they receive the slice. I really like the way she sometimes just goes for accuracy rather than power, she plays old school tennis with skill and calmness. Its going to be a mind battle between her and Pavlyuchenkova in the final, both are tactical and evaluate their opponents throughout the match and change their tactics during the match to win. I like both players but I hope Anastasia will win, I just hope her knee won't cause her problems because in one of her wins she said it was causing her some pain, I hope her body recovers from the tough schedule she has had, she had been playing doubles too.
Helluva match, congrats to both woman, amazing quality.
SUPER Baro!!!!! Gratulace 🎾🙏🏻
great job krejcikova!!!!! what a fabulous match you played!!! kudos!!!!!!!!!!!!
technical player (Krejcikova) meets power player (Sakkari)…
fierceness (Sakkari) keeps you on your toes, but calmness (Krejcikova) gets you the result.
Nice for Barbora but i really really really like Maria SAKKARI, she is my new fav player ! Such a great match yesterday when she won against Iga Swiatek.
Incredible, she was behind and catch up with perfection
A great paradigm on how mindset and technique overcome power and will. I guess it's Martina Navratilova's coaching.
Super Barco👍🇨🇿🍻
Wow! That was simply an amazing match! Both ladies need to be praised for the excellent sportsmanship displayed during the tournament!
Barboro, velká gratulace a upřímná poklona až na zem za to, že jste se nenechala rozhodit nespravedlností rozhodčího a zápas dotáhla do vítězného konce, klobouk dolů před Vámi
Ladies this year are delivering great performances, Bravo 👏👏👏
When i saw Krejcikova 3-4 years ago i never thought she could enter in top 30 or 40. Now she plays really good, she Is not only defense. 11 victories in a row and also vs Swiatek in Roma had 2 match point. If She Is not tired, i think will beat Pavliu
