I just hope it s a competitive final
Quite frankly Ons and Swiatek are 2 players from the start of the draw I did not think would be in a final on a fast HC at the USO.
Iga was complaining about the 'lighter balls' used, I think she has got used to them by now:)
Ons has to serve well like she did in her s/final
Both ladies have been in GS finals, Ons has yet to win one, though she knows now what it takes to win one.

Good luck to both players!

I'd be happy for either, but I picked Ons in my draw challenge, so I'm sticking with the horse I rode in...On(s), in 3.

Fun Stat,
Only 3 players in the 21st century have captured Roland Garos and USO crowns in the same year, Serena Williams, Justine Henin and Rafa Nadal.

Swiatek to lose first set and win match. 2-1 Swiatek.

Imo it'll come down to the difference between believing you can win and knowing you can win. Jabeur reached the Wimbledon final only to lose, whereas Swiatek already has 2 slams and knows she can do this. She'll likely be more nervous imo because of this and Jabeur will grab the first set before Swiatek bounces back to win the next 2 sets and her 3rd slam.

I have been trying for neatly 2 hours to get onto this site? happened yesterday in the mens s/finals.I know it is not my computer, as I can get onto other tennis sites etc. Again I am having trouble getting back onto this site, kept getting messages, an error, try again later?

The umpire for today's final will be Louise Engzell

That was a fun point. Ons is warming up, it seems, and settling in.

Decided to bet on Jabeur 2-1 in the end against my initial pick after reviewing all the bookies sneaky "specials" and Jabeur +3.5 game handicap.

Iga is playing a near perfect match, moving around Ons on all corners of the court , with good deep returns
Iga is bullying Jabur around the court
