So happy for Karolina!
Now we have to wait 7 more years until she win GS

I'd settle for a 250 at this rate

that's a bit unfair, it's hard to judge injury risk and I can think of at least one other one slam winner more worthy of being crapped on.

Good win for Muchova about time for her second title, Mboko should learn from this experience that there are many ways to skin the cat. I think she is very mature for her age and will take this experience. I feel she will get to a semifinal or final of a GS, if she is not injured this year.

Bianca's injuries & other issues were unfortunate, don't get me wrong. I'm strictly referring to other Canadian players. I'm a fan. I'm rooting for her return to at least 20 status, but I am doubtful.

She needs to drop some weight, she is too heavy for tennis.

Yesssss, Muchova! Love it!
Also, though, I have to point out that Muchova's success (and results when healthy) are just more proof that some of the former great WTA players would still dominate the tour.
Muchova's style is something of a "throwback" by modern WTA standards, and it is still very effective. Heck, Ash Barty was the dominant player for a while, and she would have been completely handled by the greats from the 90's and early 00's.
I totally agree that Muchova is, by far, the best watch in the WTA. She is the only WTA player whose matches I really seek out when possible.

You guys are silly. She's quite fit (and looks great). She more fit than Serena was late in her career. She's fitter than Davenport ever was.

I looked at some recent photos of Bianca, & she's in great shape now. Maybe you could have said she could get a bit leaner in the past, but she was never overweight. I take back my "I don't disagree comment". Thanks for calling me out!

Maybe leaner, I never said she is fat. Maybe she is big boned, but she looks heavy. Even when she won the US Open she looked heavy but age was on her side. Tennis is very unforgiving for those types of bodies.

We both never she was fat! The body type thing maybe, something to that. I also feel the training staff plays a part, but maybe she's just been unlucky. I do like her strategy of playing the WTA Challengers to start the season.
Anisimova is back on track. Likely going 3.

That was touch and go for a moment. She has way more fire power than Mirra and could have closed it out in 2, looks like Amanda is not 100% physically. But I am surprised at some of the gets from Mirra, she definitely has improved on that. She is going to be a difficult opponent come Indian Wells and Miami.

Good match, shifts of momentum. Yeah, Mirra moves well. Anisimova righted the ship, I had picked her to win.
Coco just has way too much game for Eala. Dominant win.

Sure, being a bit leaner probably would have been good for her, as tennis is a sport that doesn't really reward too much muscle or mass, but on the women's side these days there is definitely a priority placed on big hitting as opposed to movement.
I mean, look at Anisimova. She's doing well, and her movement is really bad right now.

All true. Anisimova would be even better with better movement. Sabs movement is way better now; even Rybakina. It also obviuously helps if you're already natural speedster.

Sorana could easily have taken Eala out but she let the crowd get to her.
