Remember when we thought we’d get a big 3 in the WTA with Rybakina hanging tough with Swiatek and Sabalenka? Those were the days….

I see she’s still serving a ridiculous amount of double faults. 6 in a very easy match.
She’ll be facing a top 10 player next. Hasn’t beaten once since that hideous French Open final.
Let’s see how she handles either Paolini or Swiatek..

6-1 6-2...in a little over an hour
did you watch?...I didn't see it, what the hell happened?
yeah paolini was on fire her fh was dominating and iga was making a lot of errors while trying to hit through paolini kinda surprised iga didn't change tactics much after first set but credit to paolini

Swiatek had won all 7 matches against Paolini.
Including two straight set matches this year, for Jasmine to win 6-1 6-2 is a huge turnaround.

Yea Paolini had other plans. She spanked Iga.

I thought Iga was fully "back" after Wimbledon, but looks like she's going to be more up and down from now on. I know there was always a chance for other players to beat her outside of clay, but the way she can get beatdown now is surprising.

Iga has only one game plan. Not the full package.

It's been yet another easy draw for her, and once again she should (in theory) only have to win two hard matches in order to grab a title.
But somehow I doubt it will happen...
I don't think she will ever be the same. She will have some very good tournaments, but her air of invincibility/superiority is gone forever, and that was just about the only thing keeping her mental game from being a total mess (as it often is now).

So many exciting players entered this tournament, I can't believe we'll end up with another Gauff-Sabalenka nightmare.
Or Gauff-Pegula.

7 double faults in an easy straight sets match. When is someone going to work on Gauff’s serving game???
This is beyond a joke.

I knew winning 4 times in a row (barring Covid breaks) is too much, but I wouldn't expect the loss would be to Pegula!

I'd assume the new biomechanics coach will be more effective during an actual offseason

How is Gauff actually playing?; I haven't been able to watch. That's a nice win over Paolini after getting beat in Cincy. She hasn't lost a set this tournament.

solid return as always, and against Paolini the forehand actually held up.
DF count still high as other posters criticise her for.

Well done Coco. 3rd straight year she's won a W1000

Yea hopefully with that new coach and an off-season she can get that serve and forehand ironed out....though I feel like we say that every off-season.

... and Coco's laughing all the way to the bank with another big title.
2023 - Cincinnati + US Open
2024 - Beijing + YEC
2025 - RG + Wuhan
3 consecutive years of winning 2 titles at WTA 1000 level or above is nice going, especially for someone that's still only 21 years old.
I was in Centre Court to watch her 2019 Wimbledon R3 win vs. Hercog, when she was 15 years old. That feels like a different lifetime now (anything pre-COVID does to me).

Gauff now 11-3 in finals, not too shabby.

A further 8 double faults today. Embarrassing state of the tour that players can’t beat a player who’s hitting such high numbers of double faults. She leads the WTA in double faults and has 118 more than the #2 and that’s before the stats are added from Wuhan.
She averages a staggering 6.75 double faults per match. Diabolical stats for the tour.
