Good for her...the next great one for 1 month (it's the WTA). That said, she plays a very solid game and plays quietly, doesn't need a lot of distractions. Hope she sticks around longer at the top. Azarenka still has game!!
Vika is actually so happy for Badosa's victory, as if she herself won. Not every person knows how to be happy for another person. Victoria is very well-mannered and kind. Thank you for you))))
Well said. Vika, while an intense competitor, is a true sportswoman and couldn’t have been more gracious in what had to have been an extremely disappointing loss. Still shocked how Vika got so tight when serving at 5-4 (30-0) in that final set. Congrats to Paula for hanging tough and not giving up.
YES, they both deserved to win!, even Vika, as more experienced, had the serve and 5:4 in the third!, but Paula made a decisive break and with a little luck, in the second tie break, she won!.That is it. So congrats to Paula! Spanish tennis has a new great talent, who will, for sure, in the future, have more trophies!
Hello, if anyone could help I would appreciate it. In the Indian Wells Azarenka VS Sasnovich match in tennis channel, when Azarenka served the commentator said something about a surgery. I could not hear it as my tv volume changes abruptly. Do you know what that surgery referred to? Was it related to Azarenka giving birth to her child?

I was struggling to pick a winner, both players deserved to win. For one side, Vicka's fighting spirit, energy, champions mindset and self believe I'm so happy that she played so well. And for Paula's side she has been working so hard all year and she has demonstrated that she belongs to the top!!! I'm really happy for this final!! ♥️♥️♥️

Epic! Haven't seen such an exciting WTA final for a long time. Equally equipped with skills, Badosa is more fearless in the 2 tie breaks; well fortunes favours the bold.

I think Vika has matured so much since becoming a mom. I wasn't really a fan of her because of her attitude towards the chair empire or the audiences before, but now she shows so much grace on the court, good luck to her for the rest of her career.
She has truly grown up. She talked a lot about conquering her ego at the USO last year. She seems like a cool person with a lot of self awareness. Love to see it!
She has the tools to step up, but her net game needs improvement. And, sometimes, when leading the score, she starts to wait for the adversary mistakes, instead of sealing the deal herself. If she fixes these issues, the sky is the limit.
@@EduDiniz23 Yes, her game needs noticeable improvements, there were plenty of easy shots that Badosa should have converted into winners, but gave an easy return to Azarenka who converted them to winners (facepalm). Just to be fair Badosa had great winner shots as well.
incredible match! high level of tennis 🙌 Vika had the chance and couldn't close the match, so Paula didn't hold back and now is a master 1000 champion! Bravo 👏
Great final, both players giving their all, and the best thing is that there were no throwing racquets or temper tantrums during the match, just a graceful winner and an even more graceful finalist. Congrats to Badosa and Azarenka.
Badosa has such a patient style, she never seems to crowd the ball or rush her shots. From as early as the first set, I just felt like her patience would win her the match.
What a classy ladies! I enjoyed listening to their speeches as I enjoyed watching their match. Congrats to both of them and I hope to see more finals matches from Badosa as well as Azarenka.
Gran final la que nos han regalado Badosa y Azarenka. Bravo por las dos !!! Estoy muy feliz como española de que haya ganado Paula, pero sobretodo por ella, me ha demostrado una fortaleza increíble para la edad que tiene. ENHORABUENA PAULA !!!
Enhorabuena Paula Título muy merecido por tu lucha y esfuerzo, sin olvidar tu talento. Es increíble cómo has mejorado física, técnica y mentalmente. Y todavía hay margen de mejora en.todas tus capacidades. Sigue así y disfrutalo.
Felicidades Paula ...un trabajo excelente durante todo el año y culminado con este gran título. Llegarás alto ...juegas de lujo....tienes paciencia y eres una gran persona. Bs desde Madrid 🇪🇸

a match like this rarely happens in WTA nowadays but very helping to boost womens tennis game for viewers all over the world. vika’s speech , her graceful in defeats and she being herself now really a great women’s tennis representative as well. and paula with her story on overcoming depression in her youth and winning the tournament, let alone having the impressive 2021 season is just inspiring for many many people. thanks for both ladies for showing their heart trough this final! a very very welldone
After Sharapova ended her career , I vë been waiting for another WTA player to root for, I think I have just found one . Nothing better than to have my 2 favorite players both from Spain : Rafael on the ATP and Paula on the WTA . Congrats Paula!!!!!!!!
Anyone realize this? ----- same EXACT outfit Raducanu wore at US Open(all matches). Badosa did wear this for entire Indian Wells tourney as well. I think everyone may wear it at Aussie Open. LOL
Wow, incredible match, so much strategy going on, I was glued to my screen. Loved it. And, how could Paula lift the trophy, when Cam could not? Paula, great strength! Girl Power. My daughters will be thrilled.
I think also her weakness is playing too much in the middle of the court...If you watch closely you would see Paula's shots were more cross court on either side whereas Vika's I kept screaming stop heating in the middle of the court!! Either way I was going to be happy whichever of them had won. Brilliant match..
I think, Vika played very well with her Come Back, but Paula is amazing, with high fighting spirit, mental steel, and amazing Physical strength, she deserves to be CHAMPION! Stars are born
@@ruelsantosreyes3713 I think it was mentioned before no company will sponsor Su-Wei because of the dispute of Taiwan with China. Sponsoring Su-Wei will upset China and the company will lose their customer base in China.
Congratulations Paula. You really deserve for it. And more trophies are yet to come at your hands. Stay healthy and always be strong in any factors in your tennis-playing.
Vika is an icon in her own right. I mean there is nothing which she can't do. And also big props to Paula for putting up such a tremendous fight. 2022 will be the year when we see Paula in the top 10 of the women's games. And she has an explosive forehand which will definitely rule the clay courts in Europe next season.
First of all, what a great final from both ladies! Vika is a warrior with the heart of a champion. Results may be up and down at this stage of her career, but that competitive fire still burns. For Paula - I think back to the start of this year when she experienced 21 days of hard lockdown in a Melbourne hotel. I remember her emotional press conference after she had tried to compete after such an ordeal and it was so tough for her. But she just picked herself up, dusted herself off and has had a fantastic season culminating in this big title. It feels well earned!
Paula's mental toughness and ability to trust her aggressive shots in the high-pressure moments won her this match. The big return on set point in the first set, the break point at 4-5 in the third, the backhand winner at 2-0 in the final set breaker etc. Just hard as nails. Both women were incredible and Paula is a hugely deserving champion.
Paula is very good and has a great potential, but I would not call her a queen after one title. Let's wait and how she will perform in the next tournaments.
Congrats to Badosa! She hits huge serves and such heavy balls so consistently and doesn’t miss often. I prefer this style of game over Sabalenka, who hits much harder but misses a lot
Paula esteve muito bem em todas as partidas nesse torneio. Eu imaginei que não seria tarefa fácil pra Azarenka... parabéns a ambas pela grande final que fizeram, e em especial à Paula Badosa pela conquista do título.
🍾BADOSA🍾 🏆 Muy merecido título y sufrida victoria contra Azarenka. Ojalá siga con buenos resultados en el futuro. Ha demostrado tener un gran juego de fondo, mucha resistencia y gran fortaleza mental. 👏🏼
Legends like Serena and Vika who are still capable of winning matches and playing finals are really special moments for younger players to compete with them and to win against them. It's all respects to these legends of the game who are still fighting day in day out. They are very much the dark horses in every tournament the played. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Serena and Vika to win a slam next year. It's very open right now.
Paula Badosa is all about poise, style and determination. What a superb role model, she deserves all the accolades she receives, and with this win she is nearly a Top 10 player. 👏. Onwards and upwards!!!
Congratulations on winning Badosa. When I took one set, I put my finger on my temple, which is a self-suggestion that my head is solid. Anyway, because Azarenka was a strong enemy, the new heroine with beautiful eyes stood out and impressed me! ..
Excelente partido. Soy admirador del juego de Vika pero tengo que reconocer que Paula tuvo un excelente desempeño y que seguramente mejorará más su juego sobre todo el aspecto emocional. Felicitaciones a ambas
Congratulation Paula, but sad and disappointed for Vika. She’s playing amazing ever since she came back, always close to big result but still not able to win again. I’m beside u keep fighting and I’m sure u’re gonna win another major soon Azarenka. So much love from Italy
It is a shame about Azarenka but Badosa did need to win a 1st WTA 1000 title tbh. Don’t forget Azarenka is a 3 time grand slam champion & a grand slam runner up from last year too
After set 2 I was 90-95% convinced that Azarenka would win. I'm glad I was wrong. What I learned? Shut up and watch the match to the end, without being smart in the middle of the game.
In total, Vika has won two break sets, but she still loses the match due to tie break. The reason is during the tie break, she used to hit the ball direct to Badosa's body instead of hitting more to the corner or base line for Badosa to run more. Where else Badosa is more willing to challenge difficult angles, and she won the match. Congratulations to both players.
Watched the whole match and it was awesome. Paula needs to come in more to shorten points but she played great and really hung in there. Congrats to her on a great title. 👏👏👏. Great effort by Vika as well.
Hard luck Vika, a true fighting champion.....grab that 3rd Slam before you retire! Of all the new young things, Badosa is a player I can get behind! 😏 Support.....🙂
Paula Badosa is 2-0 in her career in finals!
Good for her...the next great one for 1 month (it's the WTA). That said, she plays a very solid game and plays quietly, doesn't need a lot of distractions. Hope she sticks around longer at the top. Azarenka still has game!!

It is a shame about Azarenka but Badosa did need to win a 1st WTA 1000 title tbh. Don’t forget Azarenka is a 3 time grand slam champion & a grand slam runner up from last year too
отличный финал! спасибо девушкам!
After set 2 I was 90-95% convinced that Azarenka would win. I'm glad I was wrong. What I learned? Shut up and watch the match to the end, without being smart in the middle of the game.
Same and she was 2 points away from the win though
What a hard fought battle!! Vamos Badosa! 🙌🏼👍🏼 Well earned!
After quite a while some trophy presentation video is seen here!
Thanks a trillion all concerned!!!
Now I don’t know anymore who is my favorite player Badosa or Muguruza.
In total, Vika has won two break sets, but she still loses the match due to tie break. The reason is during the tie break, she used to hit the ball direct to Badosa's body instead of hitting more to the corner or base line for Badosa to run more. Where else Badosa is more willing to challenge difficult angles, and she won the match. Congratulations to both players.
Watched the whole match and it was awesome. Paula needs to come in more to shorten points but she played great and really hung in there. Congrats to her on a great title. 👏👏👏. Great effort by Vika as well.
Hard luck Vika, a true fighting champion.....grab that 3rd Slam before you retire!
Of all the new young things, Badosa is a player I can get behind! 😏 Support.....🙂
Grande Paula. Como parece, del infierno al cielo a veces solo hay un paso. Mucha suerte en el futuro.
