I hope Leylah captures the title tomorrow, but more that that I hope that she becomes a top 5 womens player and stays there consistently. Bianca seemed poised to become a consistent threat at major tournaments since winning the US Open 2 years ago, but injuries have hampered her since then. Before that, it seemed that Eugenie was going to become that player, but she fizzled out since her finals appearance at Wimbledon.
It just seems like there hasn't been a consistently dominant player in the women's game since Serena. I'm not sure that a nonstop rotating door of newcomers headlining major finals is a good thing for the game.
