I am interested to see how Vika fares in this tournament,back to HC which is her fav surface.I really thought she had found some good form,regardless of the horrid draws,though in her match against Halep at Wimbledon,the eventual champion,she could not find the court at all,UFE count was pitiful.Hoping for a good tournament from Vika.

I am starting.to believe Venus is DONE...I think two years ago was her last best chance of winning majors..now I doubt that she can win 200 level tournament..She still is one of my favorite athletes to ever play any sport .

She's been done. When she let go of her coach that told me Vee was not serious about playing. Instead just hanging around until the next OG

Zheng defeats 4 seeded players to win her maiden title. She simply outclassed Sabalenka :clap:
