Attagirl Amanda. Well done!!! 💪

 

Well done Amanda. Happy for you.

 

Much deserved title but it will take a very long time for me to forgive her for that Wimbledon performance.

 

Finals Iga might have had something to do with that. Amazing how people still don't give Swiatek full credit for winning Wimbledon. Not like her dominating a finals was a new thing.

 

4th career title ✅

2nd WTA 1000 title ✅

Qualified for YEC for the first time ✅

No. 3 in the race ✅

What a year she is having, winning two 1000 titles and playing two grand slam finals. She is likely to finish the season ranked 3 in the world and she started ranked 41.

 

Second 1000 title of the season for Anisimova. Totally GOATed the first set then had a blip but domianted again from 2-2 in the decider. Definitely in-form player of the last couple of months. Let's go!!!

 

Yea, Amanda is coming.

The tour is not ready!

 

We are ready to watch I want Wuhan final Iga - Amanda 😍

 

Good week of tennis. Both Linda and Amanda have the game to win big and we see them both able to perform. I think the surface suits both a lot as well.
2nd 1000 for Amanda that should at least give her a smile after losing two slam finals.
Two young players having good results and it's not Coco and Mirra. I am all for more depth in the tour.

Doubling the aces and hitting 21 more winners is impressive, despite her walkabout in the 2nd set.

 

Surely Amanda is going to get Most Improved Player or Comeback Player of the Year in the WTA Awards.

 

Definitively

 

I would have been happy with either winning but was leaning towards Amanda because of her tougher draw and her previous finals losses.

And yet somehow that was a really concerning performance and has left me worried for Amanda and how she'd perform in a final against a more experienced opponent. A lot to celebrate and still so much to work on. She needs to develop a B game ASAP.

Sad for Noskova and I hope she doesn't take the loss too badly.

 

A lot to celebrate and still so much to work on. She needs to develop a B game ASAP.

 

Will either play Wuhan still? That's what Aryna and Naomi want to know.

 

Surely she wins the Calendar granny next year

 

Commentator Kevin Skinner just said in the broadcast both players will be in Wuhan which starts tomorrow.

 

Finally another trophy after a few tough finals (even the struggle against Tadde Maria on grass). She was the best player this week, plain and simple. Impressive turnaround of her whole attitude, I’ll admit I didn’t think she would pull this sort of a season together when she was in the doldrums the last few years. Will be dangerous at the YEC if she holds this form and confidence. She’s a tough matchup for some of the other top 8.

Linda has ballstriking talent, perhaps needs one of those coaches who can transform her physicality like Kerber, Bertens, etc. to take her game to the next level. She got a bit down on herself at a few 30-30 moments and inevitably would lose the game. A nice result for her though.

 

Good.

 

Future world's number one and multi Slam champion. Resistance is futile

 

Not a match you'd look forward to watching the replay of. Mandy could have been taken out today by reasonable quality and consistency but Noskers just couldn't manage it A win is a win all the same.

 

Like Pegula, Swiatek or Paolini? Did you see their third set losses?

 

Hopefully this quells the Paolini/Jabeur comparisons (even though they were silly in the first place).

 

Yep Amanda has a way higher ceiling. Question now is can she stay healthy and focused for the longer haul.

 

Congrats Amanda. I never thought she could be this thirsty. You can literally feel how much she wants it now. When she’s struggling with her game she doesn’t stop fighting and when she’s flowing she’s just blowing people away. Noskova made a good account of herself in the second set. Both her serves and returns went up several notches and she was the better player in the second set. In the third set it seemed she ran out of gas and Amanda was determined not to let this one get away. Fantastic win and I’m so curious how she will do in Wuhan and yec. Somehow I don’t think she will be an easy out the rest of the year. Good luck to the rest of the tour.

 

You can literally feel how much she wants it now.

What?

 

Ooof she’ll be coming in the Australian Open hotttttt and her game is perfect for that surface. The girls better RUN.

 

those are huge trophies.

 

Finally!!! We have another player to join real top 4 players. And she is #3 in the race. Can't wait what happen in Wuhan.

 

Congrats to Amanda! Great job!

 

Mentally Anisimova's sill catching up (not completely settled/adjusted to the big leagues. She just schooled a rookie in a final she was the odds on fave and supposed to dominate anyway, yet she's rolling on the floor celebrating like she herself just arrived on the scene.

 

Nah, Anisimova is the real deal and will dominate the tour next year winning 3 out of the 4 slams :s

First it was Mboko now Anisimova is the flavor of the month. Who's next?

 

 

Not the Paolini sophists at it again
