Congratulations to KM and also earlier to Coco ..Iga took Coco to the deep and Brad showed her how to tread water to get back to shore...MM I was actually pulling for Saba to win today ..
Well I knew if Saba didnt watch her margins in that match up it would be over, Karolina has a great tennis IQ and a great problem solver
I am very happy for both Coco and Karolina to make their first WTA1000 final

I felt they were going to be a great team . Parks has a cannon for a serve and Taylor's lefty spin and slice plus soft hands at the net may make these two grand slam champions (doubles)

Well I hope they both continue as a team, not bad winning a WTA1000 doubles event first time together
Though I think Taylor will play with Leylah Fernandez at the USO because they are trying to make the WTA finals at the end of the year

She has been broken,and Muchova starts slowly and picks up steam as the match goes on.Its important to play fast and break her in the early part of the set and not let her get comfortable.

What I love about Muchova game is it suits all surfaces and she adjusts to the surface she plays on

Both ladies seem a bit nervous to me, which is normal, playing for their biggest title so far

Both of them are not holding serve at all.
