Is the reign of terror from Garcia over? It was fun while it lasted but what a meek end. Ons through to another final, meets SABA or Iga next.,

Her game is very pleasing to the eye…switches from touch to power to touch effortlessly…she just needs to clean up her shot selection…go for a few more high percentage shots and she will end up winning one of these soon…

for the sake of men's tennis, i hope alcaraz wins tomorrow...he would be a worthy champion but he is also coming off 3 consecutive five setters, hope he has enough energy left for the final...

She is due!

Regarding Iga , if Garcia had not dropped that horror performance in the semi then it would have been a much more interesting final but it is what it is .

Well done Alcarez, but the real final was Sinner v Carlos, once the Spaniard won that it was done and dusted.

garcia beat swiatek twice recently, didn't she? yes that would have been a tougher battle for iga...

i don't know about that...alcaraz was tiring in the 3rd, he really got a second wind when ruud had that horror tie-break (6 unforced errors i think)...

If only he could have won that Wimbledon when he served for the match v Novk.

I ignore all the debates about who was better , he, rafa or Novak, but I do know when it comes to my youtube watching Federer is the one I watch much more than the other two.

there was a u.s open as well where djokovic saved match point and beat him...as for watchability, it's not even a contest...when they play against federer, the contrasting styles make it a compelling watch especially nadal vs federer...can't compare them to the grind-fests between rafa and novak or even murray in his prime...both nadal and djokovic have passed him in the g.o.a.t stakes though, tough as it is for a federer fan to accept...

If only, if only, if only.
Yeah I think he had 2 match points that day, what we would give for him to of just taken it.
Meanwhile on the other channel, what we would have given for NZ to of scored one more run and won the cricket world cup.
It was so close to being the greatest sporting day of a lifetime.
Instead it turned out to be the most disappointing day of all time.
Of course English fans who were also supporting Novak will have a different perspective...
