It was Langdon vs Stefanovic in the 'ultimate tennis battle'. Today
"In your face, Langdon," Karl shouted as a neon green ball flew past Ally.
Moments later as Ally faulted, Karl said, "it's got to go over the net".
The game quickly devolved into 'trash talk'. Today
As Karl hit the ball into the right-hand side of the court, making Ally run, the host snapped back.
"Do you think that's really fun? Are you looking good right now? Make the girl who can't run run," she joked, referring to her injured knee.
Despite the early troubles, Ally recovered form but in the end nobody was declared the winner. Not even tennis.
"While we continue to try and, you know, be the champion that Ash Barty is, we will leave it up to her on Saturday night," Karl said.
