And who would you blame it on?

 

Keys first final she was a mess, so was Gauff. This is not unusual when a player is in their first major final
Now Swiatek, Gauff or Keys can be Player of the Year if they win in NY
Sabalenka needs to win NY to make the YEC the key tournament

 

Peak WTA would be 6-0 0-6 6-0....

 

6-0 0-6 7-6*

 

This was very bottom of the tennis.

 

I feel you. I had tickets to the 2012 US Open final which ended up being the Serena/Azarenka classic and missed it because of the rain delay to the next day (my dad wouldn't let us extend the trip as I had to go back to college lol). Then I finally get to see a Grand Slam final in person and it was the Sloane/Keys 2017 US Open final. That was already a letdown with the beating (had been rooting so hard for Venus to make that final), but it made it worse with how bad it was and knowing what I could have seen in 2012).

I've gone to the US Open final every year since 2017 minus the Covid tournament and they're unfortunately more clunkers than not, at least for that major. I hope you get the chance to see another one in person and a good one at that!

 

Iga did you a favor. If the match had gone on much longer, the risk of you passing out in that heat would’ve only increased

 

Never attend GS finals for WTA. You could spend a lot of money for nothing as this...

Berlin was such a great final to attend live

 

Tell me with a straight face that you wouldn't want to watch a Swiatek-Sabalenka Slam Final live.

 

I feel bad for you hopefully you can attend another GS final and watch a good match.

 

That's the risk.

For me it's way better to attend early rounds. Yeah, the matches aren't usually between top players but you can see a lot of them and if you are not enjoying the match you can go to another court.

 

Best are QF and SF - you usually get some good matches and there is a Chavez your fav is still there as well... You simply get a lot more for less money

 

Iga's 6-0, 6-0 was a Thing of BEAUTY...
Especially, for Iga's Bettors...

No player, winner or loser owes the audience anything. This is tennis it’s sport. Sucks you didn’t get a blockbuster but is what it is

Exactly...
One would have to be a Clueless, Braindead, Idiot to think they are "owed" anything...

 

I guess at least you can say you witnessed history. But yeah, I felt for any non-wealthy attendees who paid for those finals tickets

 

OP ... Do you have ANY CLUE how many REAL tennis fans, myself included, would have LOVED to be in your seat today?!

Apparently not.

Seriously, entitled much? You got to witness brilliamce in a historic match and you're in here grousing?
Please go whine somewhere else.

 

Bad take…..attending a live tennis match you expect to witness the skill of the players up close, an exciting atmosphere, and thrilling shots and rallies. This match had none of that….and factor in the cost of a Wimbledon finals ticket. I’d be dissapointed as well.

 

Actually you attended an epic final that would be remembered and referred for years to come.

 

If this is true, then you should consider yourself to be a lottery winner! You just witnessed something extremely rare and special.

 

Look at the snotty Brit attending an event that happens literally once in a 100 years in Wimbledon's history and still whining about it.

 

Instead of complaining, you should appreciate the moment and the beauty of this sport. Matches like this happen once every 50 years. We witnessed history. I was born when Steffi won her slam final with 6-0 6-0. This is special. Regardless of whether you are a fan of Swiatek or not. I prefer these kind of matches in finals than something like Jabeur vs Vondrousova, that no one would remember.

 

Some people deserve what they get.

 

I've personally been to only 1 GS F, although ATP, 2019 USO Rafa vs. Medvedev, it went 5 sets and almost 5 hours, what a thriller, but even if it was 6-0 6-0 6-0 in 1.5 hours, it was well worth every penny I spent on it!!

 

I feel sorry for you.

 

All of your faves that didn't win Wimbledon this past weekend, I wonder what they have to say?

 

Look, I'm probably never going to be in a position to watch a Wimbledon final (for now), but I really don't get why people always complain. Is it the length? I doubt these people wouldn't complain if the final was a 3hr slugfest between Haddad Maia and Sorribes Tormo. This was a historic 6-0 6-0 beatdown involving a generational talent. Is it really better if it was a routine 6-3 6-2 in 80 minutes?

That's the risk one takes I assume with a final. I always assume ppl just don't like/prefer other players than the ones playing/their faves lost so there's already negative bias and resentment

 

Sensing a pattern here as I attended the 2022 Roland Garros final and was similarly disappointed by Iga's beatdown of Coco in maybe the only Slam final I'll ever see live as well.

 

A) I don't believe you (I have been to a women's final)
B) Those who were there also got

• a chance to soak up the atmosphere of a historic tennis site before the first match
• a men's double match
• the theatre that is Wimbledon:- The women's match build up, the theatrical presentation ceremony, the British high society in action

Overall you would have got about 5 hours of entertainment.

 

Look at it this way... you witnessed a slice of history!
