Congratulations Paula!

Sorry to see it end that way, but they had a lovely confab at the net, which went on forever. I hadn't heard of Badosa until recently, but I like her game. Is this her first title?

It appears to be a wide open RG.. especially with Ash Barty not 100 percent, IGA is in good form and those youngsters especially Coco on the come Up.

Ash arm has been a ongoing issue with her since her teens which she has managed well,it was cold in her match when she had to retire in her match,she did the right thing before RG and she has been playing well on the clay.Sabalenka you cannot dismiss,though she has to keep her UFE in check,she won Madrid,though the high altitude conditions suited her game,not so much in Roma,Petra Martic can play on the clay,she has has solid matches since teaming up with Francesca Schivoane a RG champion,of course Iga who whipped Pliskova in Roma.Coco won a WTA 250 tournament clay tournament,we need to put that in prospective going forward,she will be seeded which is a good thing.
Lets wait for the draw.
