[the AntiPusher]

Coco to try to get to the net to settle down her nerves

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Billie Jean King will present the trophy's today

 

[kskate2]

she's panicking a bit so she's pressing and playing too quickly. she needs to slow it down especially on serve

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco to try to get to the net to settle down her nerves

With the right approach shot, if not she will get passed

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

At least Coco is on the board, have to settle her nerves a bit, her face at times looks shell shocked

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga is so 'workmen like'
Her fhand reminds me of Graff's fhand

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wonderful accuracy from Iga fhand on both sides of the court, great to watch, her footwork is outstanding

 

[kskate2]

30 min in and Iga is half way to the title, 61

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I feel someone has to try to get better technical help for Coco on her fhand for starters, this is why I feel she needs a new coach to take her to the next level,

 

[tossip]

Coco is very tight

 

[tossip]

It's a start for Coco,she has now tasted the grand slam final,she will get there one day.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Here we go 2 BPs for Coco

 

[kskate2]

Coco is very tight

I agree. This is mainly mental more than physical and definitely not technical. But I do agree w/ MM that she needs a coach that can elevate her to the next level which is competing at a high level and winning majors.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Coco who breaks Iga, got the bhands she needed

 

[Moxie]

She started the first with nerves, and never caught up, but starts 2nd with the break and seems more settled in now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco to me needs help more on her fhand wing, Iga has exposed it well in this match

 

[kskate2]

She started the first with nerves, and never caught up, but starts 2nd with the break and seems more settled in now.

I'm wondering if she shouldn't have let Iga serve first so she could swing out her tension on returns first.

 

[Moxie]

Swiatek has got some FH on her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco again found wanting on her fhand wing, caught out of position time and time again

 

[Moxie]

I'm wondering if she shouldn't have let Iga serve first so she could swing out her tension on returns first.

I didn't see the toss...did she elect to serve, because I also think that was a mistake.
