And holds to love twice. Definitely a change in level for her. I think she probably needs another break though, still... I just assume Sabalenka will fold at some point though, especially if it goes three.

Sabalenka takes a trip to Iga's bakery and receives a baguette.

And then immediately breaks her. Iga's bakery is only open during even numbered sets?

You gotta feel bad for Sabalenka, up 4-2 in set 3 and then loses four straight games. Second year in a row she loses 6-4 in set 3 in the semi-finals (last year to Leylah).

Welp, not my most difficult prediction, but I'll take it. I think Jabeur probably wins the final though.

I would like to see Ons win and it's nothing against Iga, I just think it would be such a cool story for her and Tunisia.

Ons is also just on much better form than Iga who is basically just kind of shambling her way through this thing despite being really wonky for most of it. She's just so good that her wonky form is usually good enough.

I really like both women's finalists and both are extremely worthy of the title. I'm cheering for Iga would be great to see her win a slam off clay and continue to build her resume as one of the all time best.

She had things in control up a break in the 3rd set and then things unravelled.

The historic moment when the King met the Queen. They scheduled her visit on a game day for Rafa so he declined the invitation, but he went on to win the tournament that year.

Very frustrating to see TSN having two streams showing the same men's doubles match and no stream for Victoria Mboko's match.

Edit: Now it's available on TSN.ca

He has really raised his level of tennis in 2022. That forehand is one of the best in the game.

Khachanov has no answers, this could be over very quickly.
