@@MegaTobins696 bro look at Sorribes Tores, she’d just beaten Ash Barty a few weeks back, Emma dismantled her, made countless unforced errors, struggled in every service game, almost got double bageled!

Her mental strength to forget the point she’s played and focus on the next one. She did that to everyone she played, dismantled Rogers who’d just beaten Ash Barty, dismantled Bencic Olympic champ, ripped apart Sakkari most in-form player this year & then dominates the final against someone who beat Kerber & Osaka. It is absolutely extraordinary what she achieved and I don’t think you can say that Sakkari’s poor performance was the reason she lost, just like with all the others she beat. Can they all re-think their game plan and beat Raducanu, of course, but please give all credit to Emma for playing the player in every round, playing in the moment, and doing what was necessary to win in one of the greatest sporting achievements in the history of sport.
