What a quality match. Both ladies played awesome, Keys got it done deep in the third. Her first GS title 8 years after her last final. Took out the world # 10, 5, 2 and 1 players in the world. All this after changing her racquet brand and retooling her serve last month. What a Cinderella story

29 years old, first GS final in about 8 years, beat world #2 and #1, a Keys win would be an amazing story. She looks very calm
No one can say Keys didn't deserve it after beating the two favourites.
She beat the #10, 5, 2 and 1 on her way to the title. Apparently no woman has beaten the 1 and 2 seeds in a GS since Jana Novotna (?) in like 2007. I'm happy for her, this might have been her last chance to win one, sounds like she suffered many therapy sessions to undo all the scar tissue from her last finals loss. Sabalenka will be back

I haven't seen all of Zverev's games but that's because apart from his serve I just don't enjoy watching him play. Sinner though, is a far more complete player even if he looks like a stretched matchstick.
-
For me, Zverev is too conservative. He stands too deep, doesn't hit as flat hard or as deep as Sinner. IMHO Shelton worried Sinner more, but suffered from a lack of discipline.
He needs to.take a leaf out of Madison Keys' book, make some serious changes to improve the weaker parts of his game

Pommie Cam Norrie overcame a poor start to win out in 5 sets
A Saffa who grew up and went to high school in NZ. Bit of a plastic Pom.

Yup, I know who he is. Learned his tennis in Auckland, was a highly touted world ranked junior who left because NZT wouldn't help him out a little with some of his expenses. Otherwise he'd be our Cam

Not a surprise that a NZ sporting body wouldn't help out a young player with expenses. Same thing happened with Steven Adams which is why you never see him in a Tall Blacks singlet.

You mean Plastic Tiki Pom?
