Et Voila!
Caroline Garcia wins the WTA Final (she was my pick from the beginning - see top of page :D ).
She thus takes home the Billie Jean King Trophy. Not to be confused with the Billie Jean King Cup... or the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (enough, already - there are many other female tennis players who’ve had a significant impact on the game - let them have a piece of the pie, too!).
R.I.P. Amal...

I think this was a rumor. She has looked as thin as ever on social media.

A very well played final that deserved a third set, for the fans. The Winners/UE ratio was well in the positive for both players.
Caroline won by playing better tennis for 10 minutes; a good TB and an immediate break of serve to start the second. Up to #4.
Can she win a slam? Sure, she was in the semis of the USO and her serve is one of the very best at the moment. Will she? We were so sure a few years ago, and then she went away. Hard to say one way or another.

How big was their lead? I couldn't watch it. Not on TC Plus.

I'm still not over Mertens splitting with Hsieh Su-Wei and going back to Kudermatova, although I have no idea what the circumstances were. I just know we need Hsieh back.

Hsieh hasn't played since 2021.

And I've generally found it odd, I found it weird last year too and said as much, how much people were pretending like Elise and Su-Wei had a long term doubles partnership. Literally stole things that Elise did with Aryna and acted like it was original to them and then people were all put out when Elise wasn't playing with her this year, even though Su-Wei hasn't played at all in 2022. I do not get any of it

She flipped the coin. To say that she is looking gorgeous, for those of us that had a crush on her, would be an understatement. That GIF does her no favors.
Also. Chrissie was there too. She is looking very good, considering what she has gone through with her cancer. I hope she is in full remission, and that it does not come back.
