Day 13 – The day of the ladies final. The penultimate day of the Championships. The number 1 in the world, Ash Barty, was up against the 8th seed, Karolina Pliskova. Barty came up firing while Pliskova looked nervy and tense. In no time at all, Barty was up 4-0 in the 1st set. Barty then had a shaky service game and allowed Pliskova to get her teeth into the match. Thankfully for Barty, she was a double break up because she managed to hold onto the break and take the first set 6-3. Barty then got the early break in the 2nd set and led 2-1. She then held for a 3-1 lead. A must win game for Pliskova and she won the game easily to make it 3-2. Once again just like the first set, Barty had a nervy service game and Pliskova broke back. Pliskova looked a lot better now and was playing more freely. At 5-5 though, Pliskova was broken and it looked like the number 1 in the world had the match wrapped up. Serving for the Wimbledon title though is easier said than done. Barty was broken from 15-40. A tiebreak it was in the 2nd set. Barty made way to many errors in the tiebreak and Pliskova managed to take it 7-4 and we were going to a 3rd set. A great effort from Pliskova to somehow still be in this final. Barty though was once again the first to break in the 3rd set and led 3-0. Pliskova managed to hold for 3-1. The 3rd set then went on serve and Barty was once again serving for the Wimbledon title at 5-3. Pliskova had a break point opportunity at 30-40 thanks to a Barty unforced error. A great return from Pliskova got Barty scrambling. Pliskova then went after her next backhand which flew wide. Barty was till in the game. An ace brought up a Championship point. Pliskova dumped a backhand in the net and Barty was the Wimbledon champion. A great but nervy match from both ladies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fantasy tournament, Barty scored a whopping 13 points and Pliskova scored 6 points. The teams in yellow are the teams that had Barty. <\/strong>Well done to all 35 teams that picked Barty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Anyone for Tea’ still leads after day 13 and looks comfortable our front with a 8 point lead over ‘Hotshot’. ‘Hotshot’ opens the gap to 3rd to 8 points. There is still a tie between ‘2nd Choice’ and ‘Stentastics’ in 3rd. Will the Men’s final separate them? ‘Top Turtles’ have regained 5th and the last prize position. ‘Cream of the Court’ is just 4 points behind though. Last day of Wimbledon coming up. Who will be finishing in the top 5?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
