Sabalenka vs. Osaka today at 2:15pm (first featured women's evening match since 2023). Should be a good one.

Peace Out Hello GIF by Wilson Tennis

And they’re featuring what exactly?

Great match but Sabalenka was dominant. Less than 90 minutes which is why they put the men on last but it was top tier level
Who's ready for a Russia/Belarus vs Ukraine final? lol

Tiafoe just blew a double break lead in the 4th set--still can win it here (5-5 after being up 5-1) but he just seems to lack that killer instinct the greats have

Then Tiafoe double faults in the breaker to send it to a fifth set--unreal

Well--officially no American men or women in the quarters at Roland Garros.
Should be an interesting final 6 days

Fixed it for you.
It was correct as is. Not sure what your obsession with the men is. There's been 5 guys that have dominated tennis for about the past 20 years...maybe extend that to 7 with Murray and Wawrinka.

*SPOILERS FOR WOMEN’S FINAL*

On vacation in Maine and was hoping to watch the women’s final after grabbing a delicious locally roasted regular drip coffee (room for cream) - @BobPSU92 - but caught caught up walking around town so got back in time to catch most of the second set. Really rooting for the underdog Chwalinska but she seemed spent. Happy for Andreeva though - solid tournament for her and younger than I thought (only 19). Mary Pierce presented the trophies and I had no idea it was her. Men’s final should be pretty good and Wimbledon is in two weeks.

I really like Andreeva...she could be a top contender or a very long time
Chwalinska had a great run. I believe she earned more the past 2 weeks than she had in her entire career. Even though she didn't win it changed her career drastically. We'll see how she does moving forward with new expectations

I hope Zverev wins...he's arguably the best to never win a GS

Congrats to Sasha--he made that more interesting than I'm sure he would have liked but he's finally a grand slam champion!
Hopefully Pegula's next

That was a good final. Amazing these guys can play 4 hours plus.
I wish the women were a best of 5--at least after the 4th round
The stamina/energy these guys have is ridiculous.
Crazy fortnight but a great one.
