[Super_horns]

Djokovic defying any doubts about his age tonight .

[Dr Marco]

Watched the women's final, glad Coco won

can't stand Sabalenka! all about power and very little technique

plus she's got the shoulders of a bloke!

Wasn’t happy after wards either.

 

Took it badly naturally.

Whatever you think of Sabalenka, hopefully it’s a sign of things to come when it comes to Women’s Grand Slam finals. 
 

At times since 2017, some Women’s Grand Slams have been far too random, while the WTA hasn’t really had an established and strong top 8-10 like it used to have in the days of Serena, Venus, Henin, Clijsters and others. 
 

Hopefully the likes of Sabalenka and Gauff can lead the WTA into a stronger and more consistent era 🤞🏻

Henin was great

Particularly at Paris against the more powerful stronger rivals .

[The Bear]

Women's tennis is still quite weird, even in the later stages of tournaments. The amount of 6-0 and 6-1 sets even between the best players is strange how often they happen.

Henin’s era especially between 02-07 was the pinnacle of Women’s Tennis. 
 

This French Open was the first time since the 2005 Australian Open, that the top 8 seeds all made it to R4, Women’s Tennis has been crying out for that kind of strength at the top of the game for a while now. 
 

Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come, but the way the Women have been at Wimbledon in recent years, I won’t hold my breath  

[StanSP]

Let's hope Alcaraz can come back into this. 

 

After the first game I thought it was going to be epic... 

[StanSP]

Alcaraz did. Has made it an exciting match. 

[Lionator]

Is this the best final since Wimbledon 2008?

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

It's been absolutely riveting 

[Dr Marco]

Great match! Vamos Carlos!

[Super_horns]

Been at work but sounds like it’s been an all time classic with both dragging themselves through 5 sets and more to come .

[kingfox]

Quite simply one of the best Grand Slam finals of all time.

There must have been a couple of other epics but this is brilliant nonetheless. 

[FoxesTez]

Such a superb match. The physicality and endurance from both of them is mind-blowing. 

[st albans fox]

The momentum shifts within a short space of time are amazing 

[StanSP]

That was relentless. Five and a half hours.

Great tiebreak from Alcaraz under such pressure .

 

One of the greatest comebacks in a fantastic final .

 

Well played to both players .

Was a brilliant final. Couldn't believe he saved the 3 match points in the 4th then end up winning the set anyway. 

[The boy Linacre]

Wanted Alcaraz to win BUT Sinner was truly amazing and so sad for, him.  The big 3-4 have been replaced by these 2.

Stunning

[kingfox]

We’ve all grown up with our favourites, but Carlos Alcaraz is the most joyous Tennis player to watch in our lifetime imo.
