This is Totally Unfair that Jess and Jil have to play their s/final at this time of night.As Kskate said they could have put this match on a court near the main court in Madrid.....Feli Get Your Act Together .....this is a shared tournament!
BTW Jess and Coco are scheduled to play a ladies doubles QFs match after this one? Honestly this is just laughable

I'd be more sympathetic if I hadn't watched tennis for decades in the past when it was so chivalrous to allow the ladies to play 1st only to run men into matches going well past midnight! They want equal money, they can handle equal scheduling! :shushing-face: :face-with-hand-over-mouth::face-with-tears-of-joy::partying-face:

Point being Jess was also scheduled to play a QF Doubles match after rest from her s.final match
Important point there were empty courts available and they should have started the ladies s.final on a court near the main one

Ladies Singles Final,

Ons Jabeur (8) vs Jessica Pelgula (12)

Both ladies will be vying to win their first WTA1000 title in Madrid
H2H it is even......Ons has won their past two meetings Chicago 2021 and Dubai 2022
This is their first meeting on clay.
Ons to me is the more 'natural clay courter' she has variety in her overall game
Jessica has proven in Madrid and on clay, she can be aggressive though with control,she picks her spots and her bhand has been 'on song' this week and it is her most offensive weapon.
Both ladies deserve to be in the final and good luck to both Ons and Jessica! hoping for a competitive final!

I’m gonna root for Ons but she’s already down the early break.

Jessica with a DF and a FH error now in her service game
Jabeur breaks back and it is back on serve

Jess body language has not been good since she was broken, needs to go back to her game plan she had early in the 1st set
Jabeur will serve for the 1st set 6-5

Jess needs to get her mojo back in this 2nd set if she has a chance of upsetting Ons....needs to go back to being aggressive with control and wait to pick her spots.

Ons is using her bhand slice to perfection

Power of Pegula finally shows up in the 2nd set and she breaks Ons....carbon copy of the match early in the 1st set
Love service game and her easiest hold of the match so far leads 3-0
