last weeks final was a blow out and of course i want maria to win, but i hope we get a good match for everyones sake. here are the most one-sided finals in the tournaments history:

1987: Graf def. Evert 6-1, 6-2

1990: Seles def. Wiesner 6-2, 6-1

1997: Hingis def. Seles 6-2, 6-1

2004: S.Williams def. Dementieva 6-1, 6-1

can anyone give details about any of these matches?

does anyone think there's a posibility for a one-sided final tomorrow?

that Serena - dementieva match

the 2 games Dementieva won were breaks of serve

Not a surprise..

 

[Venus+Serena#1fan]

Serena blasted all of Elena's weak serves for winners. She was in total control.

i wouldnt excatly say that.

Although, yes, there have been some one sided finals, there have been some close ones too;

V.Williams def. J.Capriati 4-6 6-1 7-6
S.Williams def. J.Capriati 7-5 7-6
S.Williams def. J.Capriati 4-6 6-4 6-1

and plenty others. The four you named there are like any tournament, and you had to go back to 1987 to find them.

Sheesh JCap hasn't had much success in finals here then!!

I remember that Venus match, isn't that the one where Vee saved like 8 match points!? *amazing* :worship:

The one game Evert won in the first set came off a break of Graf's serve. Evert never really got into the match, and Graf realised that Evert was having problems with her forehand, so she kept hitting skidding down the line slice backhands to Evert's forehand in order to force errors. The match ended on a swinging volley winner from Graf, who capped a sensational fortnight in Key Biscayne, beating Navratilova 6-3 6-2 in the semis, and Evert 6-1 6-2 in the final.

[hingis-seles]

In 1997, that was Monica's first tournament back in 1997, after skipping the AO after a freak accident where she injured her finger and couldn't play. Hingis owned Monica (and the rest of the WTA) at the time and became the youngest world number one in history, after she won that final against Monica.
