Well, that was a bloody awesome performance, 6-2, 6-2 over the world No1.
Even I thought Iga would win, never doubting "Pie" again, until the next time I doubt her.

Another Aryna/Elena final, just what the tour needs, some consistency.
I hope Elena wins it, just so she has something to show for her great start to the year.
She needs some more Tournament wins on her resume.

I will be just as excited if Aryna wins it, so I can't lose.

However, I would prefer Fishikna to win this title Congratulations to your girlfriend, she is playing great tennis now, so bomb. 💣

Congratulations Cutie, pity I missed it but new career high of #8

Hopefully the final is a good one. And Elena finally gets her revenge (and avoids getting pigeonised).

LukeParkerNo1 on Bigfooty.com website, on the "Tennis" portion of the site,

HaHaHaHa Cutie Pie wins.
Yessssssssss.

Is he on TF I wonder under another name.

Elena is getting noticed.

Excellent news to wake up to. I shall have to watch the match it will be a lot less stressful now.

Given Lena's record in finals and her record against Aryna my expectations aren't that high but maybe she can pull another upset.

Hopefully she doesn't become the finals version of Sakkari, at least she won the most prestigious event otherwise I would be stressing.

I've watched the replay twice, it's very good, brilliant ballstriking & excellent serving.

Where did the 'pie' thing come from? I have to ask.. something to do with baked goods?

Cutie Pie, just shorten it to PIE, amazingly some people don't like her being called "Cutie Pie".
It really is a term of endearment, because she's just so lovable & cute.
Hopefully Elena wouldn't find it hurtful.

Don't know where to post exactly.

Elena reached the 300k followers mark on instagram yesterday. She also has a very high engagement rate, so quite invested fans:

Got hold of a copy of the match and downloaded it. Not the greatest copy but at least get to watch the first set. Its a very slow court, but kind of a disadvantage for Iga more than anything which is surprising because even her lethal forehands could do very little on this court, strange how others couldn't get to them,

 

[Queen_Of_Spray]

Pie says she felt good today, no shiz.

 

[tony p]

Her pressers are getting more interesting.
She seems to be coming out of her shell, she seems very comfortable with life, as she should.

 

[Queen_Of_Spray]

She starting to sound more professional, pleasantly surprise. And they asked her about injury and she just brushed it off and said nobody is often 100 percent.

Big Congrats to Elena for her first masters trophy. The only concern for me is at her desk interview with TC, she said she is still working on technique and getting better but why fixed what isn't broke.

Think positive, if she is winning while working on technique, how much room for improvement is there.

Congrats to Elena and her fans.

Because players are always catching onto your game, and exploiting that small vulnerability. It's good to have a set of tools to turn to when your bread and butter isn't working that day.
