i don't know that she bottled it, that would be true if she went down tamely in two sets or if she threw away a ton of matchpoints or something...i think it was more that she was beaten by someone who played better, refused to quit...Did Saba bottle it in another Slam?

Was that the one in the game where Maria barely held on to her serve? Yeah was mental.
Actually been a fun second set , Maria much more competitive now. And yeah it does feel a bit weird typing that considering her pedigree

A lazy term as it slightly demeans Fernandez who was fantastic.
However it was a wretched tie break in set 1 where she lost the plot and that game 10 if set 3 where she served 2 double faults and hit 2 monster errors to get broke to love and lose the match! Standard Saba at crucial moments she can't get it done.
Not arsed about the male final whatsoever compared to the ladies one.

Great stuff from both teens, as for them both being so low-ranked, one a qualifier, should be said, that if it hadn't been for covid, both would have played much more in a formative time.
Emma took her A levels rather than go through the strain of bubbles and travelling, a move which seems to have worked quite well.

It probably is the most lowly ranked final ever. But this isn't two 30 something double specialists who've never been in the top 30 singles suddenly appearing in a final. These girls are top class and based purely on ability they should be regularly in the final stages of the big tournaments in the future.

hmm, read it from somewhere else, and apparently there isn't Chinese in Fernandez background, so a poor post TBH.Not bad.
yeah the fact that the just turned 19 year old with absolutely no experience on this stage showed more mental fortitude than her is very telling...
Haha yep. It was really fun in the end and I used to enjoy tennis but it also reminded me why I stopped watching it.
