Actually there quite a few interesting other young players. Bencic , Vondrousova, Anisimova, Sabalenka to name a few. Infact the current world no 1 Barty is also just 23. So I think she also has a few more grand slams under her. Infact the last few years we are getting quite a few new GS winners. Women's tennis is so unpredictable unlike the men's game. All I can say is let's wait and watch
For me this was the most anticipated match of the year, both gave it all and I see a bright future for both of them. Hopefully they can give the WTA the boost it desperately needs 🔥 congrats to the humble Osaka!
Saaame. I can't really say the most anticipated, but it's right up there for me. We had quite a few Rafa, Roger and Novak match ups this year as well. But it's right up there.
Saurabh Chakrabarty I meant the most anticipated in the WTA (along with serena v andreescu and osaka v serena, both of which were kinda disappointing). On the ATP tour it had to be Djokovic v Federer and Nadal v Federer at Wimbledon 🤯
@@rubenvannijnatten this is not a grand slam so the value is automatically diminished - hence when Serena beat Osaka the media was quiet. hopefully, they will meet at the AO.
Deus Ex Machina i dont really care if this was a slam or not, we got some interesting matchups at grandslams but they almost all ended in a disappointment, so im already happy that this matchup happened and ended up in an amazing match.
What a way to start possibly the best rivalry of this decade! So happy and relieved for Naomi as a BIG fan of hers. And what a fight from Bibi. A big thanks to these two amazing athletes for this amazing treat! More to come!!
Yeah, I really wanted Bianca getting a head start as I think it would have given her a psychological advantage in future matches, but she seems to be level headed to not develop a Naomi complex. BTW, Osaka is the only player in the world now to have a positive record against Bianca.
@@trespasser121 I think Naomi has more chances of developing a mental block against Bianca rather than Bianca developing one against Naomi. I mean, look at Naomi against Bencic, she just can't find her A game against Belinda it seems. I do believe there is a tactical and mental halt in that match up.
Totally agree with Saurabh Chakrabarty. Naomi is the one prone to getting negative and overthinking things. She’s more fragile. Bianca’s mentality is like a brick wall. It’s one of her best assets that allowed her to go on a 17-match winning streak including winning the USO
Saurabh Chakrabarty I hope that this match helps Naomi figure out her Belinda problem. Although Bencic takes the ball earlier than Bianca so it’s tricky
Now THIS is a rivalry to watch. Lived up to expectations after months of waiting for these young potential greats to clash. Both went in with winning streaks and something had to give. Osaka resurrected from the ashes of this roller coaster season. And reminiscent of Serena and Kvitova, at their best, Naomi & Bianca are nearly unstoppable. 🔥 🔥 🔥
I'm so so happy for Naomi. The fact that she was down that first set and managed to tie at 5 all and not manage to get frustrated is a huge improvement on her mental game. I think that's what has been bringing her out of her slump. Andreescu, as usual, fearless against any opponent. Has always been mentally tough and has a great mindset. This is how a real rivalry is formed, folks. Not that Serena-Sharapova thing hahaha 😂
Exactly, the best display from Naomi in this match was her mental resolve to stay positive and fight till the end. We all know she’s got the game but the mental side faltered at times. Hopefully this trend continues for Naomi
Serena & Sharapova are the reason its still brings people back. There no comparison to Serena and all that she has had to endure and still remain the Champion she is. She been a catalyst for the change in a game of tradition & racism. These player are in her dreams for a new world of tennis. Lets enjoy the game and each other🙋🏾♀️
@@eyecan8 To those that have respect and love for the game. Thank you you for your comment. I just love tennis period. Serena is a goddess to me. But I'm not lost to these young ladies who are very deserving of all their accomplishments. I salute them.
Osaka is incredible! I love the way at the end she sat down, cheered a little bit and told her inner mind:" I knew I would win but wow this match is tough" lol
Wow! What an incredible match! Even though I was routing for Naomi I really thought Bianca would outplay her! What fight from Osaka. I think this is the most important victory of her career so far & the start of what will be the greatest rivalry of the next decade!
@@adao2103 I would say it is had it not been for all that Serena and umpire thing. I feel like her Australian Open finals match against Kvitova was a validation that she did it because of her own skills.
What happened to all the hate for naomi after she fired her coach. All you 2 faced fans. Naomi is a top 10 player she's going to be a great player for many years to come.
Totally agree. It’s so nice to see her playing well with her dad helping her out again. She got so much hate after sacking sascha, as if it’s all about the coach that she got her success, I mean, look at mledenovic now lol
It's not that she fired her coach it was the disrespect behind it. She said that he really didn't do anything basically that she already knew. That was disrespectful to say to someone who has helped you
Naomi's mental strength is unbelievable, coming from a set and a break down. She didn't falter after that wrong challenge in the 2nd match point and kept her focus laser locked. Congrats to Bianca too. She played absolutely amazing, just couldn't quite catch up to Naomi in the end. Terrific tennis from both of them. Hope to see more of them in the future 😊😊😊
Or may be we should also learn to appreciate every game style which makes this sport unique. And I am a Huge Venus and Naomi fan. But I loved Kerber vs Halep AO 2018. Or Halep vs Wozniacki AO 2018. Or Elina vs Wozniacki Singapore 2018. Halep vs Svitolina Doha 2019 and so on.
Tennis is not only about ball bashing.tricks,defense is very important.the player who maintains the best balance between offense and defense these days is wozniacki.she has definitely improved on offensive side.
@@9848856050 I disagree. With Caroline, (I love her) but I feel now her defense is not that great anymore. And her attack is not that impactful. Serve is so so. I wish her the best but I feel she is not great in either atm. For me, the players who maintain the best balance between attack and defence are Bianca, Ashleigh and Simona.
This match lived up to the expectation. Some of those points were brutal and some of them were other worldly! Amazing from both of them. Well done Osaka for coming out on top.
Sheh Shi Hmm, well you must be biased and not be looking at facts because wasn’t she just the finalist at this year’s Wimbledon AND US Open? Also a finalist at the Roger final too...come again lmfaooo
Yeah .. It’s been a long long time I seen such a tight match in woman’s tennis . I would say Serena’s era is most boring era because of her domination over her opponent. Who would want to see women’s tennis if Serena beats her opponent in Grandslam finals in 6-1 ,6-2 like that . I could see this pair will bring back more crowd to Women’s tennis .
Bianca was 8-0 against top ten player this year, finally someone put a stop to her streak and those 17 match winning streak. This is huge for naomi to take down a player whose on the rise
Women's tennis is so inspirational! Never give up no matter how bad it gets! I love seeing these ladies fight back when they're down! Just amazing! #teamosaka
@Don X I'm gonna assume you're a troll because that entire paragraph was really dumb to read, how do you have the nerve to call someone else mean spirited when you say nasty stuff like that?😂 Also, Venus has never had any sort of controversy on the court and is noted as being very friendly and chill so insulting her really shows your true intentions. What a weirdo.
Surprised to see all the positive comments here especially for Naomi... some of you were the same people that were throwing insults at her when she was losing and blamed her for firing her coach. She’s started winning and now she’s the future of tennis... please.
Andreescu was invited to play at the WTA Finals after her Mertens win. And Osaka just got invited today after beating Andreescu. So yes they will meet again to play and revenge one another in 3 weeks.
Hands down for both players, I love the fearless from both, so focus and good attitude. Such a great match. Hope Osaka will win this tournament, rooting for you girl, you are a champ!!💪
What an incredible match. This felt like a final and I can only hope to watch more tennis like this in the future. What respect between these two, as well. Such a nice exchange at the end!
Man oh man! Two of my favorite favorites playing each other. What a match up. Awsome playing by both of them. One of the many times we will see them battle it out.
Man watching these two then with iga climbing up the ranks as well as other young players like sofia, rybakina etc the future of women's tennis will be a lot interesting.
I"m pretty sure Osaka respected Andreescu, she mentioned her 17 match win streak. If anything, I think osaka earned a lot of respect from andreescu, the girl finally got taught how to lose lol
A match of so much grit and emotion, better appreciated watching it live. Each player was forced to make adjustment and pushed off the comfort zone. In the end, Osaka showed why she has been the world's numero uno and looks poised to return to that spot with her current form. It's good she's found her most reliable and trusted coach yet, in her father. When he advises her on the court, it's been spot on and she listens with rapt attention and implements it for good results. Congrats to both young ladies. Future of Women tennis appears better with both in it.
I was reading the comments and saw many people predicted if these two meet Bianca will win because of her dropshots. Loved how Osaka stepped up to win one of the most anticipated match of the year. It was really close though.
Bianca has the variety but Osaka has the power, Osaka serves, returns and move better, Bianca has a better hand and a more tactical game, this two match up pretty well... I was hoping to see this match.
Great match between two classy ladies. Andreescu's sportsmanship and kind words at the end were lovely to see. I'm glad both ladies have won majors at their young ages. I hope they both win many more!!
Congratulations Naomi for delivering an outstanding performance! This is a big important win since the Australian Open! Hopefully we will get a tight rivalry between these two talented players like Monica vs Graf, Martina vs Chris or Serena vs Henin! All the best for the next round!
I’ve seen this posted several times, it doesn’t sound like something a Canadian would say. Can you please share your source for this statement ? Great match, could have gone either way but someone has to lose. Cheers
@@Petertrottierrealtor It was after she beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich last week before her match against Mertens. www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Tennis_Interviews/77779/bianca-andreescu-i-forgot-how-it-feels-to-lose-/
There's one certainty about tennis and it's that every player no matter how good they are loses a match. So it was just a matter of time. Appreciate both girls and hope this loss will not start to get Bianca down.
This was hands down one of the best matches of the year. Both girls delivered with Naomi pulling it out in the end. Naomi has been playing far better with her Dad as coach. I do hope he becomes her full time coach. A lot of people don't know that it was because of him that she won in Australia this year. Naomi and Sascha was not on good terms throughout those two weeks.
I do not think that is a good idea. Her dad has always been with her and he has never been able to get her to that level that she started reaching with Sascha. He should not be a permanent solution as he has nowhere near as much experience. Even the likes of Serena and Seles who were coached by their dads had to leave and get experienced coaches. I also think getting rid of Jenkins is giving a false sense of security, people who make drastic life decisions tend to feel lighter for a while but things set in.
@@deusexmachina9776 Im not denying Sascha's work with her. I think her father being more present and actually attending her matches has helped with her mental side. Jermaine was not right for Naomi.
That hug though. Osaka went for handshake yet Andreescu already extended her arm. It resembled the start of Williams vs Sharapova encounters (not calling it rivalry, even Masha admitted it herself) and this two definitely will give exciting matches in the future (hopefully with more neck and neck result)
May Osaka take the role of Serena in this budding rivalry. Bianca's an excellent, feisty competitor for whom the battle and the W are everything, but Osaka, though she certainly likes winning and has won more than most in her generation, is a pure hitter (literally) through and through, and the easy, fluid, power she generated in this match and these days in general underscores how much Bianca has to throw at a ball to deliver comparable pace (less sound technique, a bit of flailing and a lot of grunting for her power). The tricks that Bianca has become known for, the slices and chips and mixing up the pace, aren't going to cut it against an in-form Naomi, whose fitness, movement, foot speed, and defense are the best I've ever seen them. I, as a diehard Naomi fan, am relieved she rose to the challenge of playing the tour's current darling by playing and believing in HER game and solving every puzzle Bianca threw at her.
@@ileanasantamaria2364 Andreescu is a more complete player than Osaka, and will win more titles than her. But Osaka's forehand is an incredibly potent weapon.
Honestly I thought Andreescu would win easily by Osaka’s UE but Osaka proved everyone again that she didnt need external coach. She’s doing much much better with her father, especially in temper control. Bravo Osaka 👏
Well done girls, a silent killer and a feisty competitor. The future of WTA looks great indeed. Congrats to both players for an amazing display of tennis.
Great match. Osaka looks in great form. Mentally strong. How? She was able to battle back from Andresscu after losing first set. Shows mental strength and composure. Bianca has proven that she is no slouch. Osaka was very focus knowing Bianca has been having a great year and probably came in as the slight favorite. Naomi looks like the 2018 Naomi who won the US Open last year. These two will definitely be rivals like Graf and Navratilova use to be.
My two favorite players although I have to admit I like Bianca just a little more, she's been such a pleasant surprise and breath of fresh air on the WTA this year. Congrats Naomi, keep going bibi
Agreed, certainly better than NO who has an air of deceptive snobbery.. Andrescu, in time, will surpass NO...I read nothing but NO here, pathetic really...
My girl i must say congrats!!2 of the best wta players..gr8 to watch such young players full of energy..so glad u came out on top naomi i knew u could do it!#keepgoing
We have now a Trio of Grand Slam winners and they are gonna finish the year in style ..Barty 1st is most probably and Naomi winning tomorrow might be the 2nd and Bianca 3rd .. we finally have interest in WTA next gen what a thrilling finish Come On Naomi win this title please.,,,
Fearless Andreescu, who was dropping bombs on Osaka in the first set, and some of the second set, succumbed to the power and precision of Osaka in the latter part of the 2nd and final set. Naomi showed her inner resolve And was able to adjust her game slightly to take the final set which could have gone either way. This sort of a heartbreaker because these two young ladies are nice personalities. But between these two I’ll always be team Naomi.
Hear hear! me too! Bianca's an excellent, feisty competitor for whom the battle and the W are everything, but Osaka, though she certainly likes winning and has won more than most in her generation, is a pure hitter (literally) through and through, and the easy, fluid, power she generated in this match and these days in general underscores how much Bianca has to throw at a ball to deliver comparable pace (less sound technique, a bit of flailing and a lot of grunting for her power).

I, as a diehard Naomi fan, am relieved she rose to the challenge of playing the tour's current darling by playing and believing in HER game and solving every puzzle Bianca threw at her.
You obviously play and know the game; such as I do, because your analysis is unbiased and on point. Sooner or later a game that relies on spin and slice to escape rallies will have errors when going against pure baseline power. Andresscu game in the 1st set mirrored what Naomi did to Allison Riske in the 2nd set of that match, but Bianca couldn’t keep that type of game up for 3 sets once Naomi got her train on the tracks.
The future of WTA. No offense to other players on tour but these 2 younger players giving me chills and excitement. Power to power. They match each other’s performances.
I was nervous for Naomi but it was a good match. It was a great win for her and her confidence. I was impressed by her composure most of all. She can really get down on herself and she's been like that most of the year. She really needed the win in Osaka and now she's finally finding herself in Beijing.

17 win streak to be exact
@@Nycku007 I think he meant 11-0 against top 10
@@Ophethxxd Oh yea , my bad :D
A match of so much grit and emotion, better appreciated watching it live. Each player was forced to make adjustment and pushed off the comfort zone. In the end, Osaka showed why she has been the world's numero uno and looks poised to return to that spot with her current form. It's good she's found her most reliable and trusted coach yet, in her father. When he advises her on the court, it's been spot on and she listens with rapt attention and implements it for good results. Congrats to both young ladies. Future of Women tennis appears better with both in it.
I agree, especially on the last words you said.
What a high standard match between these two young titans of tennis! Also played in great spirit, which is much appreciated by fans. 👏💪🐬
I was reading the comments and saw many people predicted if these two meet Bianca will win because of her dropshots. Loved how Osaka stepped up to win one of the most anticipated match of the year. It was really close though.
These 2 young players will dominate WTA, if they to their potential. Great stars.
Superior movement won this match. But very close given Andreescu's superior shot variety. Two fantastic players, what a joy to see.
Zweig Ackroyd You said it well. It was a joy to watch. They were pretty evenly matched but Osaka edged Bianca out (I’m a huge fan of both)
Will be a pleasure to see these 2 gladiators, go at it for years to come
Bianca has the variety but Osaka has the power, Osaka serves, returns and move better, Bianca has a better hand and a more tactical game, this two match up pretty well... I was hoping to see this match.
Naomu never gave up this match! She deserved her win!
I am loving the future of tennis.
CONGRATS NAOMI YOU GAVE ALL THE BEST YOU CAN.WHAT!!!A MENTAL STRENGTH.BRAVO!!!!
Both of these warriors are such class acts. The future is bright.
Hard earned win for Osaka, congratulations!
Great match between two classy ladies. Andreescu's sportsmanship and kind words at the end were lovely to see. I'm glad both ladies have won majors at their young ages. I hope they both win many more!!
Semi final is calling!!!
All the best Naomi for the next round. Rooting for you
This makes me excited for AO 2021
Congratulations Naomi for delivering an outstanding performance! This is a big important win since the Australian Open! Hopefully we will get a tight rivalry between these two talented players like Monica vs Graf, Martina vs Chris or Serena vs Henin! All the best for the next round!
Right. Women's tennis is in good hands, hopefully.
Love Osaka ! So happy for her ! ❤️
what a match. they fight like its US Open Final, but serena with naomi in spirit.
Felicitări pentru eroism! Ni-
mic nu-i pierdut. Cu răbda -

Bravo Biancaaaaaaa
Sint Minoru de tine
Foarte frumos meci bravoo
Isn't Bianca who said last week, " I don't know what it feels like to lose anymore ". Well, I guess now she remember.
LOVE YOU NAOMI , keep winning.
I’ve seen this posted several times, it doesn’t sound like something a Canadian would say. Can you please share your source for this statement ?
Great match, could have gone either way but someone has to lose.
Cheers

It was after she beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich last week before her match against Mertens.

Nothing wrong with a professional athlete who is winning to say that....she didn’t implicate any other player.
There's one certainty about tennis and it's that every player no matter how good they are loses a match. So it was just a matter of time. Appreciate both girls and hope this loss will not start to get Bianca down.
You're an idiot. Putting down an incredible athlete who is the future of women's tennis. Osaka got lucky htis time.
This will be a great rivalry in the making, following the footsteps of Evert-Navratilova & Seles-Graf.
Bianca needs to actually play more for that to happen
The best women match of the year!!!!! Love both, my favorite players. Hope to see them winning next Grand Slams...
This was hands down one of the best matches of the year. Both girls delivered with Naomi pulling it out in the end. Naomi has been playing far better with her Dad as coach. I do hope he becomes her full time coach. A lot of people don't know that it was because of him that she won in Australia this year. Naomi and Sascha was not on good terms throughout those two weeks.
I usually don't think dads make the best coaches once a player makes it to the top, but we'll see.
I do not think that is a good idea. Her dad has always been with her and he has never been able to get her to that level that she started reaching with Sascha. He should not be a permanent solution as he has nowhere near as much experience. Even the likes of Serena and Seles who were coached by their dads had to leave and get experienced coaches. I also think getting rid of Jenkins is giving a false sense of security, people who make drastic life decisions tend to feel lighter for a while but things set in.
@@deusexmachina9776 Im not denying Sascha's work with her. I think her father being more present and actually attending her matches has helped with her mental side. Jermaine was not right for Naomi.
Good to see both players pushing each other with their superb game!
undoubtly Andreescu performed no.1 play. but Osaka was just incredible. this tennis is better than her finals at USO/AO last year.
This match was everything!! Only Naomi could stop Bianca. That girl was just bulldozing every competitor she faced.
A new WTA tennis rivalry is born. Looking forward to more of their duels in the future!
this was the most anticipated match since US Open final
Match of the year..awesome!..these are the best 2 players in the world at the moment..no doubt
That hug though. Osaka went for handshake yet Andreescu already extended her arm. It resembled the start of Williams vs Sharapova encounters (not calling it rivalry, even Masha admitted it herself) and this two definitely will give exciting matches in the future (hopefully with more neck and neck result)
Osaka isn’t digging the fake ness of Bianca!
Osaka doesn’t do anything that would be considered aggressive...so she went for handshake, but I’m sure she didn’t mind the hug, what’s is your point?
Wow talk about over reading into something. Naomi was tired. Bianca is a little fake in my view, but I’m sure Naomi didn’t mind the hug.
May Osaka take the role of Serena in this budding rivalry. Bianca's an excellent, feisty competitor for whom the battle and the W are everything, but Osaka, though she certainly likes winning and has won more than most in her generation, is a pure hitter (literally) through and through, and the easy, fluid, power she generated in this match and these days in general underscores how much Bianca has to throw at a ball to deliver comparable pace (less sound technique, a bit of flailing and a lot of grunting for her power). The tricks that Bianca has become known for, the slices and chips and mixing up the pace, aren't going to cut it against an in-form Naomi, whose fitness, movement, foot speed, and defense are the best I've ever seen them. I, as a diehard Naomi fan, am relieved she rose to the challenge of playing the tour's current darling by playing and believing in HER game and solving every puzzle Bianca threw at her.
@@ileanasantamaria2364 Andreescu is a more complete player than Osaka, and will win more titles than her. But Osaka's forehand is an incredibly potent weapon.
Getting so excited about this rivalry :) already two great champs
Honestly I thought Andreescu would win easily by Osaka’s UE but Osaka proved everyone again that she didnt need external coach. She’s doing much much better with her father, especially in temper control. Bravo Osaka 👏
Glad you brought up Osaka's temper. Yeah I noticed it now. She controlled it more
Bye Bianca!
Great match...both players showed a very good level of tennis.New generation.
What a great match. I hope these two meet many times in the coming years. I love both of them so I couldn’t cheer for one over the other.
What a match! Champion vs Champion. Probably the start of a new rivalry we have right now. The future of women’s tennis! 👏👏👏
Way to go Osaka! Actually Both of these players are my favorite
Well done girls, a silent killer and a feisty competitor. The future of WTA looks great indeed. Congrats to both players for an amazing display of tennis.
Great match. Osaka looks in great form. Mentally strong. How? She was able to battle back from Andresscu after losing first set. Shows mental strength and composure. Bianca has proven that she is no slouch. Osaka was very focus knowing Bianca has been having a great year and probably came in as the slight favorite. Naomi looks like the 2018 Naomi who won the US Open last year. These two will definitely be rivals like Graf and Navratilova use to be.
Osaka is on fire...i think shes gonna win this whole competition. She's looking fearless.
What about Wozniacki?
@@9848856050 really? She s a joke now. Osaka will crush her
@@laurentiuvoicila6458 Wozniacki is not in her form but I am really sad.see how Wozniacki is battling her auto immune disease.its so painful.
@@9848856050 I feel for Wozniacki. How could an athlete who exercises regularly and eats healthy would get a disease like that!
@@nemospence2724 true.its a biggest downfall in her career.
My two favorite players although I have to admit I like Bianca just a little more, she's been such a pleasant surprise and breath of fresh air on the WTA this year.
Congrats Naomi, keep going bibi
Of course you like her better.
yes better personality
This is why their rivalry will be good. Naomi is an introvert. Bianca is an extrovert. You need contrast in a great rivalry

Love the way Bianca shows her friendliness even she loss this match, keep going to such a talented young girl !
Agreed, certainly better than NO who has an air of deceptive snobbery.. Andrescu, in time, will surpass NO...I read nothing but NO here, pathetic really...
@@yjy5448 Bitter much? Naomi Osaka bowed on BA. Didn't you notice?
James 54 stop projecting
Was waiting for thisssss OMG I was so tensed XD thank you WTA for uploading :D. What agreat match!!!!!
My girl i must say congrats!!2 of the best wta players..gr8 to watch such young players full of energy..so glad u came out on top naomi i knew u could do it!#keepgoing
Match of the year for sure!!!
We have now a Trio of Grand Slam winners and they are gonna finish the year in style ..Barty 1st is most probably and Naomi winning tomorrow might be the 2nd and Bianca 3rd .. we finally have interest in WTA next gen what a thrilling finish Come On Naomi win this title please.,,,
Fearless Andreescu, who was dropping bombs on Osaka in the first set, and some of the second set, succumbed to the power and precision of Osaka in the latter part of the 2nd and final set. Naomi showed her inner resolve And was able to adjust her game slightly to take the final set which could have gone either way.
This sort of a heartbreaker because these two young ladies are nice personalities.
But between these two I’ll always be team Naomi.
Hear hear! me too! Bianca's an excellent, feisty competitor for whom the battle and the W are everything, but Osaka, though she certainly likes winning and has won more than most in her generation, is a pure hitter (literally) through and through, and the easy, fluid, power she generated in this match and these days in general underscores how much Bianca has to throw at a ball to deliver comparable pace (less sound technique, a bit of flailing and a lot of grunting for her power).

You obviously play and know the game; such as I do, because your analysis is unbiased and on point. Sooner or later a game that relies on spin and slice to escape rallies will have errors when going against pure baseline power. Andresscu game in the 1st set mirrored what Naomi did to Allison Riske in the 2nd set of that match, but Bianca couldn’t keep that type of game up for 3 sets once Naomi got her train on the tracks.
good analysis from both of you ... thanks
The future of WTA. No offense to other players on tour but these 2 younger players giving me chills and excitement. Power to power. They match each other’s performances.
I was nervous for Naomi but it was a good match. It was a great win for her and her confidence. I was impressed by her composure most of all. She can really get down on herself and she's been like that most of the year. She really needed the win in Osaka and now she's finally finding herself in Beijing.
These highlights don’t do the match justice. WTA please post the entire match! It was like a final
