I concur

This may end up being the least watched W final ever..even I will not be watching...

Watson says 63% jabeur..oh oh! Danger...Watson has been remarkably consistently WRONG....

Poor quality first set

I don't know if it is physical or mental or both, but Jabeur is not displaying much energy. I mean I actually haven't seen a ton of her matches but she seems extremely flat?

Seems like Jabeur just doesn't have a champion's mentallity. Performing so poorly in her 3rd GS final on her favorite surface...

I mean, back to back over Rybakina and Sabalenka may have played a part? But...yeah...

2013 revisted as Jabeur took out the heavy hitters but could not close the deal in the finals like Lisicki could not do a decade earlier

You know I am in disagreement with this "mentality" idea. Jabeur has shown she is a fine player, she has just simply lost important matches. Lendl remains my prime example: his first four finals were losses, and then he became a winner.
Jabeur has not been blown off the court in any of her matches; she has lost them by regular scores, in matches that were winnable by either player.

After saying that:
Marketa Vondrousova, Wimbledon Champion. Anybody saying that earlier in the year would have been put in a straight jacket.

I was thinking the same thing. Also add Stosur 2010 Roland Garros, where she cleared the path for Schiavone.

Dinara Safina also just lost important matches. Never did win anything big...

And got to #1. And had a very good career.
My issue with the "champions mentality" argument is that it is self-fulfilling: if you win a slam, you have it, if you don't you don't. But then the circularity kicks in: for you to win a slam you need a champions mentality, but to prove you have a champions mentality you need to win a slam.

Jabeur is a champion. I have yet to see her crumble during a match.

Anyway how many more GS titles for Vondrousova?
