WOW WOW WOW.....UNBELIAVABLE....the kid did it and 6-3, 6-2 in 3 sets..wow...to tell the truth would have not bet on her today vs SABA....yep unbeliavable win...COCO has played magnifique tennis last 2 weeks....BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO...this girl is so cool

She will b # 3 tomorrow at only 19...and more important a US CHAMP for ever....elle écrit l'histoire...again BRAVO sweet sweet/lovely girl.

Coco really was shaky to start the match and I thought Sabalenka was going to win. Then she flipped a switch in the second set and picked things up like 3 notches. After that she kind of steamrolled Sabalenka. Great win for Coco over the world #1 ranked player.

...and we have to figure this epic/incredible journey.....at the starling line they are 128 players ready to fight to b the ONE....so winner will have to go through 7 rounds....yes 7 rounds/2 weeks....and often dans des conditions difficiles notamment extreme heat as N.YORK
last 2 weeks...plus long games/fatigue.......so yes an epic/historic journey for the one who will b crowned...so did COCO...again BRAVO kid.

 

[gaby]

Great /historic moment for Canadian DABROWSKI won/women double today with partner ROUTLIFFE........7-6, 6-3....bravo GABRIELLA ...great great achievement....tellement mérité...in the book.....CONGRATS.

Private video was released of Sabalenka smashing her racket in disgust after losing to Coco Gauff in women's finals:

Not everyone thinks this video should have been made public:

Judy Murray says changing-room footage of Aryna Sabalenka ‘should never have been made public’

The footage, originally shared on X by Eurosport France, shows the 25-year-old smashing a racket on the floor in a training room

WOW....oh boy....for sure i would have not liked to be around...lolll....BUT agree it's a private/personal moment de frustration....fort probablement many other players did the same or worst......lolll.

Leylah en finale à HONG KONG.....enfin....not a big one....BUT good for her and her confidence.....

 

[gaby]

...and she won....BRAVO LEYLAH....son 3ème titre en carrière....quand même bien à un si jeune âge....devrait lui redonner confiance pour le futur face à des joueuses plus coriaces.....lol.

 

[gaby]

NANCHANG...LEYLAH lost en demi-finale.....not bad....second good week in ASIA....améliore de beaucoup son ranking et revient dans le top 50....well done.

 

[gaby]

LEYLAH est maintenant 35ème....tout un bond après 2 semaines de succès.....keep on the good work young lady.

 

[gaby]

SUISSE/BÂLE...tout comme LEYLAH FELIX a un regain de vie en fin de saison....disputera sa 1ère finale en 2023 demain vs HURKACZ..il est le CHAMP. défendant....alors allez FÉLIX....

 

[gaby]

Yes....he did it....belle victoire de 7-6, 7-6....bon match vs un adversaire coriace qui ne commet pas beaucoup d'erreurs.....du jeu solide et constant....BRAVO...et on remet ça à PARIS cette semaine...dernier gros tournoi de l'année...allez FÉLIX....

 

[gaby]

PARIS/MASTERS 1000/.....FÉLIX poursuit sur sa lancée en remportant sa 1ère ronde à PARIS.....ça va se corser en 2ème ronde vs TSITSIPAS....MAIS il est dans sa bulle......alors go FÉLIX....on continue.....

 

[gaby]

He lost in 2 sets....dommage...was leading 5-3 in second set....mais en manque d'énergie et contre un adversaire---disons le-----supérieur.
