Coco was mixing things up and really frustrated jess who looked like she was running out of gas a bit at the end.
Fun match and great scrappy tennis all week from Coco, wins another 1000 without dropping a set.

 

Coco thrives in China!

 

Except when she’s playing Anisimova.

 

Lmao. Child. I know the Tennis Forum queens are mad as hell Coco has won a slam and 1000 this year.

Girllllllll..........

In my whiny tennis purist voice: “That forehand will never win big titles. She’s lucky Jess slayed all the beasts for her and ran out of gas. Coco’s lucky she had the favorable draw and faced a gutless opponent today.”

 

Very good performance from Coco. She didn't need to win ugly this time. Pegula could not consistently hit through her and got ground down.

 

JPeg never really wins by overpowering Coco; the matchup is always on Coco's racket. The issue is that Coco has some vulnerabilities, and Jess is best equipped to exploit them, as she's incredibly consistent from the baseline (notice how consistent players have greater chance of beating Coco than relatively erratic pros even if both are elite). Jess can play aggressively without making as many UEs as other big hitters, and that's the perfect way to get Coco to implode with double faults and forehand going off the rails.

 

She’s fixed up her forehand and serve. Watch out tour!!!

 

One tournament means nothing Cori has got to do it consistently And if she can do that then she will be a regular winner

 

Haters in absolute ruins.

 

Coco said she’s leaving China with something

 

And did!! Haha!! Funny thing is, she said her coach wanted her to skip the Asian swing to work on the new mechanics.

 

Better player won! Pegula is such a sponge

 

And they were loudly telling Coco to shut down her season after the U.S. Open…..

 

They should tell that more often, because every time they tell her "to make a break", she wins something big almost inmidietly...

 

Heck yeah!

Coco playing the beautiful tennis we ALL love.

Like I always say if Coco just plays 70% she spanks everyone on the WTA tour without too much trouble.

By the way this match shows why Coco stopped playing doubles with Pegula. Just horrible when it matters most. No ability to step up to the plate and deliver.

Anyway all is right with the world now, at least the tennis world. The only thing that could be better Leylah winning next week.

 

Queen of China! I still don’t like how she’s playing and she needs a new coach but she doesn’t give up and she’s happy and the haters are mad.

 

I SAID COCO IN 2 lmaooo

China queen

Qinwen could never.

 

That' the thing about Coco, no matter how badly she may have played in the previous round, you just know that she will always be a threat. Giving herself a chance by just sinking her teeth into a match. A lot to be said for it.

The point at 5-5 in the 2nd set when she was serving at 30:15 was impressive - she could have easily sprayed one out but just outlasted jessica, which is no mean feat!

 

Amazing the amount of success Coco has had despite some deficiencies in her game.

If she can tighten up a few things, she has the potential to become a dominate number #1.

 

I know, i've been saying the same thing - if she gets her game in order - but now im wondering if this is just how she will be. there will be errors as always, but there will also be determination - and this will see her win multiple big titles. I'm ok with that.

 

Pegula is getting old for professional tennis. She is almost 32 with zero achievements at slam level.

I think she is retiring next year...

Making a Grand Slam Final is an achievement… she’s done that. Or is there a different Pegula that you are referring to?

 

EVERY TIME people think Coco is done, she comes back and wins a big title, with several Top 10 scalps along the way.

 

Who suggested that Coco, at age 21 and after winning RG this year, was done? Those people don't know much about tennis.

I don't like her game and often don't root for her, just like I didn't enjoy Wozniacki's tennis either. But her super-retriever style combined with power is effective against a lot of players. She continues to prove that. Congrats to her.

 

Coco had to play three players in their thirties. Is the any statistics? Like "first time in 21st century"

 

 

Coco used variety to disrupt Peg's rhythm which maybe could be considered by other players who have a handy slice. If she could cut down the errors she would be deadly.

 

Always glad to see slam champions padding out their resumes.

 

Well done Coco! Tough luck for Jessica.
The Finals are going to be exciting with Amanda, Coco, Jess, Aryna.

 

First big title won by Gauff without dropping a set. She’s now won her first 9 hard court finals, extending her Open Era record.

 

Too bad. Wanted Pegula to win. For her sake she should get some rest and prepare for yea end event

 

PEGULA couldn't Hold serve the last time,it was a close Fight till then.

 

9-0 in hard court finals! And finally wins a 2nd title of the year, nice speeches for each other and a good result for the tour.

Jess sort of faded in the legs and threw a strong lead set 2, too many three setters? Coco's supreme athleticism helps her thrive (lol) at the end of the season where others are feeling a bit fried physically and mentally. I just hope that serve can look a bit more confident at the YEC. But it's a good sign for her longevity that she can turn around and win big titles while navigating these struggle tennis periods she has.
