Just an anecdote because both Canadian and Genie is Canadian no. 2The last time Andreescu lost a match is March before IW.
She could retire after winning. Most people don't earn that amount in a lifetime lol.$3.85m winner’s cheque for a 19 year old. Still, after taxes, she’ll see what over half of that in her bank account?
Right, and she's always supposed to lose to everyone because "legs are gone."WDC is obsessed with Williamses (Both) legs.
That was cringeworthyJehovah![]()
Let's get Graham Hancock on the case.
Absolutely and I also agree that the umpire did an excellent job and I thought reeled that crowd in as much as she could.The most emotional final in a while for me.
Upset for Serena. Extremely happy for Bianca. We have a new player somewhere on the tier of Henin in terms of having extraordinary variety and the ability to consistently win big.
Great officiating from chair umpire Alison Hughes. No unnecessary attempts to insert herself into the match, or to penalise the players after losing control of proceedings.
Yes. But I think the greenhouse effect will go berserkWilliams? I wish we could all win slams like she has. But no, not unless a massive meteor hits us. Mars got hit by small ones I think?
No, it will just make her more money than she knows what to do withWill all the new endorsements make Bianca fat and get injured again ?
Probably, but her main weakness - her second serve - will get more noticeable on clay, theoretically. It'll be interesting to see whether she can defend it well.Andreescu will be fine on both clay and grass because she has great tactical ability.
I can't tell if Bianca is a bit chubby or just big-boned.Will all the new endorsements make Bianca fat and get injured again ?
you heard her say it just now. My team stays with me through the ups and downs, downs, downs, downs, and downs. It is getting to her and the Wimbledon final did affect Fed.she's still making finals, fed was two points away from winning, why would either quit. i dont think people realize how incredible it is imo that serena just came back from giving birth for which she had complications, made it to 4 finals since.
Legs are gone and exposed fully again tonight. The kid got a bit nervous and Williams had a few swings that went in or it was 6-3 6-1, which was a fair reflection. Mental coaching and rocket fuel mean jack, when you play someone decent and the legs are shot. She is only getting to the finals because she isn't playing top level players before the final.Right, and she's always supposed to lose to everyone because "legs are gone."
Soooooooooo.
Anyway, massive congrats to Bianca and Canada. Hope Serena really gets some solid mental coaching after this one. She can still do it, if she can hold it emotionally to serve properly in a final.
I am not a Serena hater .Honestly just ignoring them trolls. Them making it about Serena just takes away from Bianca. She deserves all the praise and the moment.
idk what it is but its seems both are meant to win together or something. last time she won, fed won his 18th and well she didnt participate in wimbledon and AO so doesnt count, and the next time she did they both kept failingyou heard her say it just now. My team stays with me through the ups and downs, downs, downs, downs, and downs. It is getting to her and the Wimbledon final did affect Fed.
Hope soWTA Race to Shenzhen after the #USOpen

Kidding right? Haha. Used to date Serena, was in the players box for the epic 2015 USO SF choke to Vinci.I like Bianca's entourage. An interesting cast, Mom, Dad, the hott girl (Brazilian?), surfer dude, a brother, and straight faced coach.
Why was Drake not there?
Wouldn't it be great if he's there lol as Serena is his ex.I like Bianca's entourage. An interesting cast, Mom, Dad, the hott girl (Brazilian?), surfer dude, a brother, and straight faced coach.
Why was Drake not there?
Not if we bounce soon enough. But with the lack of interstellar travel interest we are dead in the water... literally.Yes. But I think the greenhouse effect will go berserk
That and seeing all the US journalists who cover sports on suicide watch. Even that idiot Evert who said "Serena empowered women" as if no woman ever won or even played pro tennis before her.I love that Serena's liberal celebrity pals are disappointed.
Yeah, that often seems the case. I wonder if it was also because maybe the French tennis federation offered more support and what not. I guess it's down to the individual to say how they feel as long as they're eligible.Her mother is French.
Lolwut? It was a running gag that Nadal's winner speeches always started with the words "Sorry Roger".Why are they apologizing for beating Serena? You'll never hear Novak or Rafa apologizing for beating Fed. If I beat the favorite, I would be rubbing it in their faces, whilst still being respectful to my opponent.
Is that why first serve wasn't going in? Legs gone?Legs are gone and exposed fully again tonight. The kid got a bit nervous and Williams had a few swings that went in or it was 6-3 6-1, which was a fair reflection. Mental coaching and rocket fuel mean jack, when you play someone decent and the legs are shot. She is only getting to the finals because she isn't playing top level players before the final.
You RWs are ridiculous.That and seeing all the US journalists who cover sports on suicide watch. Even that idiot Evert who said "Serena empowered women" as if no woman ever won or even played pro tennis before her.
Congratulations Bianca. It must be nerve wracking to face a living legend in your sport in the first final but you held your nerve and won.
I wasn't even excited at 5:5 - wish I had gone against my no-betting policy right then and put money on 7:5 cause I was truly sure of that being the final score.Bianca did well, at the end I really thought Serena was going to dig in and really, but alas it wasnt meant to be for her. Serena's body language was so down. It was sad to see. I expected a 3 set brawl
I’d have other comments about that face, but I don’t want to sound rude.Bianca's mums face is so full of botox she shows no emotion.
I'd ignore this absurd political ********.....gives them less fuel to continue.You RWs are ridiculous.
I solved that problem.Chrissie, Pam and Fowler make me want to give up watching tennis.
Serena fought, I thought when she broke to get on serve at 4-5 in the 2nd we were going the distance.... but sadly she couldn't do it. My personal feelings about Serena and her attitude aside, I really thought she would will her way through this match as a personal vendetta for having to retire in Canada. It stinks she lost, again in straights.I wasn't even excited at 5:5 - wish I had gone against my no-betting policy right then and put money on 7:5 cause I was truly sure of that being the final score.
Oh, well, at least it wasn't 6:1. That would have just been beyond rough.
