by ashkor87 Much as I love Anisimova, I don't give her more than 20% chance today ..she doesn't have a big enough serve and shots to rock Swiatek...I hope I am wrong but I don't think so ..

Big enough to beat Sabalenka. I believe Anisimova's return of serve is the fastest. Iga's gotten blasted off courts by big hitters, Keys, Osto a couple times, Collins.

by dryrunguy The Cash/Glasspool story is a nice one. At least given what little I know about either of them. Apparently Pel was almost defaulted at some point during the match for hitting a ball toward a ballkid? Something like that? I missed it.

by ashkor87 Bagel coming up, sadly ..!

Her shots are plenty big. I thought that movement was always her weakness

by Owendonovan That first set was dismal.

by Oploskoffie That moment when you come home a little late but still expect to see the end of the first set but then it's this...

by ashkor87 Double bagel coming up ..hasn't happened in a hundred years, it seems...

by ponchi101 When she lost her first serve, I said "That's it, match over".
I did not know I was not joking. What a sad match.

by ponchi101 From "It is her weakest surface" to winning Wimbledon. Unbelievable.

by Owendonovan I hope Amanda can find a little solace in the $2 million she won.

by mick1303 Zvereva did manage to put that behind her and even won against Graf in a Grand Slam. But it took 10 years and 17 more losses...

by ponchi101 Zvereva had a solid career as a doubles specialist. But her promising career as a singles players was stopped there and then.

by Jeff from TX So much for all the Iga doubters. Her entire year has just finished turning around. That being said, Amanda played a shadow of the way she did against Sabalenka - I didn't think she would win, but certainly no one foresaw this total collapse. She has the shots - its keeping her head together.

by mick1303 And that's ladies and gents how you break the title drought. With a bang.

by Suliso What a disaster. I was out for a dinner and thus didn't see it. Clearly that was a good decision.

by ponchi101 Sidetrack.
Is Aryna thinking "And this is the person I lost to?!!!"

by ti-amie It was the worst Final Wimbledon, the LTA, the WTA and the USTA could have envisioned taking place especially after Anisimova played so well coming into this Final.

I really felt for Amanda because it was clear that she was in deer-in-headlights mode. She was not moving her feet. She's not fleet footed anyway but she was pretty much standing still on the baseline until a ball came at her. When she got her racquet on one she overhit and missed the court completely. The crowd was trying to boost her but it was no use.

I hope that she realizes that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Meanwhile when the arguments are being made in the corporate spaces of tennis this Final is going to be Exhibit A as to why women's matches are not given Prime Time exposure and that is truly the tragedy.

by ashkor87 Anyone who plays Swiatek needs to start strongly..if you let Swiatek get on top, it is over...once Anisimova began by getting broken....not sure what can be done...if you lose the toss..

by Suliso I'm pretty sure Sabalenka would have done far better than this...
