Geez, I thought one of those shots was a bit out but Swiatek won the point anyway...

Lol come back Anna, we need you.
At least she's trying I suppose.. Not much to do against this level of Iga. Literally only Osaka has a chance even on this surface

If Osaka goes serveboting she’ll have a good chance.

Wow. Wasn't expecting that break after going from 4-2 to 4-5.

Jessica should honestly not be doing this well and I am proud of her for hanging in so long... She does not have the natural physical gifts that Iga has
However she is trying to bash as though she is Iga (somehow it is working to tire her opponent... Iga is probably surprised), and that will be her undoing for quite some time

Agreed, then she cannot start shaky as she did against Bencic... As usual for Naomi on HC the match is in her hands imo

Wow, the stadium looks empty. Looks like maybe a couple hundred people there.

Sometimes it looks like she is actually shaking.

She actually has a pretty good gameplan against Iga, you’re not going to win by trying to play your normal cookie cutter baseline game against her. Need to hit to open court immediately, take the chances for winners, and approach the net (which Pegula was actually doing with some success)
but yeah this one had only one winner. I will say JP has an inner fight to her and a quiet confidence that certainly doesn’t match her upbringing. She is a total fighter despite having one of the richest families in the world. I’ve gained a fair amount of respect for her.

She was with Rolex in 2021. Not sure now. Probably still with them.

Congratulations Jessica, your opponent wasn't pushed this far since Simona Halep way back when
And GL to you Iga as well.. I will be rooting for Naomi, but I am perfectly fine if you win.. You can be an ATG with this level + your natural clay prowess

I love that part about her. The current era is hard to push past but she does not want to be stigmatized and you can tell... You are right -- she was trying everything. Maybe a little smarter in the last two games may have helped but she is learning compared to last year at least. There's hope yet

Really excited for this final
Osaka said today she wants to be #1 again. She needs these points. Not like she's going to do much on clay. But, even though I'm a huge Osaka supporter, there's a part of me that wants to see Swiatek stamp her name on the ranking she inherited and see her streak continue.

That's her quirk, just like Osaka each time before serving sticks he hand out with the ball like they do to indicate new balls, like Shapove fixing her strings while facing back wall, etcSwiatek keeps looking up at the sun.
Man is she ever nervous!

Honestly can't pick a winner for the final. I think Swiatek is generally a better player, but Osaka is a hard court beast when she's 'on' and she's definitely on this week. Swiatek is also due a loss.
I think Osaka needs this win more than Swiatek. Just not sure who wins it. Can't remember such a hard-to-bet-on final for sone time.

Swiatek already has #1 in April 14-15th, Osaka needs this win to be seeded again! I pulling for Naomi to win another Miami Single title again! Did not know they were friends until now!

If you tried to convince me that these were the two best athletes in the world in a certain sport (not knowing who they were) I’d probably start laughing. That’s great

That’s just awkward to watch. There’s no warmth. Is that a new kids thing? I know I’m an old fart…

Agreed, a little awkward. They don't spend their teenage years like other teenagers. Naomi has always sounded a little awkward to me. She sounded younger than her age - didn't know she's 24yo.

I saw that and loved it!
I had just come home after playing doubles myself.
We were down 1-5 in the first set and that's when we became more determined.
We had never lost a set to our buddies before so a lot was on the line.
Sure enough we came back to 6-5 and then on to the tiebreak which we won.

I think Iga will win comfortably. Didn't watch Pegula match, but she's untouchable. Hope not tho, I want Naomi on a good mind set coming into clay.

Naomi in straight sets!
