Feli looks like he is so bored..I wonder if he is still playing doubles. I would think he could play competitively for another few years .
Probably he could play doubles, still I cannot see that happening,I was suprised he took over as tournament director lol!

Tight 1st set from both players, Iga wins 7-5, must say her returns and bhand have been solid in the 1st set, both players have gone for a toilet break
Iga is a good front runner, can Saba, defending champion, come back and win in 3 sets
This is going 3 sets .

You pick a good winner in Saba..The numbers may not be the same but she is a bus driver similar to Serena early domination.
Hey I never said Saba would win, Iga is the better front runner when she wins the 1st set in a match btw

Saba making too many UFE in her game at present, Iga breaks back, after Saba broke Iga's serve
I have been impressed with the way that Iga has been returning Saba's serve, taking it on early
Back on serve in the 2nd set 3 games all

No no I'm not clear as usual. I'm saying you picked a winner in Saba as a tennis player that you like. I ONLY pick scrubs like Sampras, McEnroe, Rafa and Maddie jajaja :)

4 games all in the 3rd set
Overall this has been a really good final between the No 1 and No 2 players, they are a step ahead of their lower ranked top ten players currently in the WTA
