Congrats to Keys on a tough win. Swiatek was too impatient and went for winners before fully constructing her points and it led to too many unforced errors. On the other side, Keys played the big points really well.
Swiatek is such a choker. Can’t do nothing pretty much on hardcourts after winning the open.
Do nothing? She just reached the semis of the AO and beat the #8 player in the world 6-1, 6-2 along the way.
She's beatable on clay as well. Osaka was in a great position at RG last year until lack of real match play got to her
Obviously, everyone is literally beatable on any surface, even Nadal on clay. But as far as hyperbolic statements go, Iga is nearly unbeatable on clay. Her clay win percentage is 89%. Nadal's is 90%.
Keys lived up to her oft-questioned potential and soundly defeated the overrated PED-abuser Swiatek. A great moment for tennis, and once again, certain people in this thread who were essentially wishcasting Swiatek into the final and winning the title were snorting the fumes of the years-long propaganda which concluded Swiatek was some GOAt-in-the-making. An absurd wish.
This is hilarious coming from you, who stated that Osaka all but beat Swiatek at Roland Garros by holding a match point against her despite losing, but here, where Swiatek was even closer to beating Keys with a match point against, having Keys down 0-40 on Keys' serve twice in the final set, and leading through almost the entire super tiebreak, but this is somehow a sound beating? Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. An example of a sound beating is Swiatek thrashing Sabalenka 6-2, 6-1 in Rome.
