Wimbledon 2018: Kerber thrills the favorites in the final, Görges hides

The chance for Angelique Kerber at Wimbledon is still rare. The events of the women's table rocked, a surprise followed the other at the London Lawn Show: Nine of the top ten players on the seedling list have already come out. Kerber is nominally the second best.

And also Julia Görges mixed on Monday, the biggest day of the year of tennis with all the Wimbledon knockout rounds for men and women, promising. Görges says: "Everyone has the chance to win the tournament"

Martina Navratilova, winner of Wimbledon nine times, is already a Kerber finalist, but Kieler has been hoping for the quarterfinals of Belinda Bencic. unpleasant counterpart to him.

Against Bencic, the 30-year-old at 14:00 German time as favorite on the field, but the three official duels that she lost without a win-win. Not in statistics appears his victory at the Hopman Cup in January. Kerber wanted to use Sunday without play to develop a tactic with coach Wim Fissette.

Bencic surprised at Wimbledon. The 21-year-old girl remembers her days as a carefree teenager in which she took seventh place in the world rankings, before slowing a wrist operation, back problems and a foot injury

Kerber in Top Form

Kerber has two weaker appearances on turf pitches on the road to the church, appeared in a timely manner in their form. In 6: 2, 6: 4 against Japan's Naomi Osaka, she shot "Plan A" to play aggressively and dominate the match. Nevertheless, the 2016 finalist sighed and said, "The first week has not been without, I know I have to improve it, it continues."

Gladly, the double Grand Slam champion loves the typical sets of tennis players, she did not want to look left, look good, but look day after day. In the eventual quarter-final of Wimbledon, she would also be favorite against the Russian Darja Kbadatkina or the Belgian Alison van Uytvanck.

After their 2016 season, Kerber is arguably one of the most stable in their industry. Semi-finals at the Australian Open, eighths of the eighth at the Open de France: the Grand Slam review reads well.

Wimbledon's favorites fail

What's so different about this 132nd edition of Wimbledon? Kerber does not really explain. Simona Halep, winner of the Open de France, disappeared after the third round, defending the champion Garbiñe Muguruza, even after the second game of the table.

"Here you can see how close everything is to each other," Kerber said. Much seems to be done now for an eighth Wimbledon title by Serena Williams. However, just ten months after the birth of his daughter Olympia, the 36-year-old athlete is slightly delayed compared to his usual form.

"I think we have seen in the last Grand Slams how every game is opened, no matter is, if number one in the world, is number 5, 20 or 100," said Görges. The Bad Oldesloerin follows the game on the turf after five first – round defeats at Wimbledon, one after the other with a different way of thinking and accepted some unpredictability

. The Croatian, coached by former Kerber coach Torben Beltz, eliminated Sloane Stephens, winner of the US Open, in the first round. "I do not care who I play against, there is no guarantee of victory," said Görges, 29.
