      @A R they are both definitely great players but if Iga did not have this terrible cold things would look different. They both served and returned excellent. Over 70 % does not happen in WTA in the 3.hour of the match. I have not seen any player play a match with a cold in the few years....congrats to both for a feast of tennis on the highest level of a GL not a WTA500.

    While I was rooting for Iga, I am almost relieved that she lost this final, because the expectations, the hype, and the pressure have become unbearable. "She's unbeatable, she never loses a final, she never loses at all" - that is crazy. Everybody loses now and then, and so does Iga. This does not make her any less of player. She is still brilliant, and only 21. The match was incredible, the players were not only gracious but cordial at the end. A pleasure to watch. Congrats to both on this fantastic battle.

This is why she cried after losing an important match for her Polish fans. She felt she failed them. On the other hand, give credit to Barbora who is a fighter battled through the most grueling match of the WTA this year! Salute to both players, both played their hearts out.

    The best WTA match in years so far, it was GS final worthy! I don't lie, i was rooting for Iga and i am sad for her. But i should say the whole final was a big victory for WTA and its fans. 3 hours epic, full with beautiful winners and intrigue till the end. I can feel how the WTA competition is becoming stronger which is the reason why Iga doesn't win matches easily anymore. Also the women tennis is becoming more complex, so close to the ATP one. And Barbora Krejcikova is one of the best examples for that. Yeah, she isn't from my favourite players, but her playing style is complex and solid. A GS champion with reason. Exactly that makes her that dangerous opponent and i think currently she is in comeback mode. It would be interesting to see Barbora in top 10 again. Big respect also to Iga, who was struggling with the cold during the whole tournament. I have the feeling she will be that person, who will change WTA to better like competition and playing style by players, same like Federer did with ATP in 2000s. Big respect to both girls for the pleasure which they gave us in these 3 hours!

It’s not like the #1 position is in jeopardy it wasn’t so I think it’s silly for any player to play especially if you’re #1 player & your not going to lose the #1 rating! Sounds kind of silly on Iga’s part to play what’s Iga trying to prove she’s already #1 does Iga need the money or does Iga want to just win!

    Massive fan of Krejcikova, technically so pleasing on the eye, especially when you combine it with her skill set and doubles experience. But there’s an energy and ruthlessness generally to Swiatek’s game, this year in particular, that makes her compelling to watch. Certainly good for the WTA to have a consistent and tough performer as the world no:1 - as I think it’s needed to raise the level of the tour to yet greater peaks.

    Swiatek is still no doubt the best on tour right now losing or winning today. This match and slam is a new milestone for her: winning with poor health, losing the first final in 2 years but still peaking when she needs to save match or even championship points. That's what I want from the leader of this sport.
    Barbie K with that talent and slams deserves to be in the top 2. Working so hard to be that fit and executing a great fight under that pressure. We deserve this kind of player in top Barbie K please.

    Slow indoors conditions suit Barbora a lot, it was most probably the best match of the year, great quality, 106 winners from both, amazing defence. Iga had momentum in 2nd just couldn't finish it because Barbora was serving brilliantly. No wind suits Barbora flat striking of ball.

      True but please keep in mind that Iga didn't show her typical "final" game (or A game) which is more aggressive played with more pace and tempo due to the health issues that affected her energy levels and reflex. This helped Krejcikova to hang in there even in longer rallies. I look forward to their re-match when Iga is feeling well on 100% A credit for Krejcikova for maintaining a high level for the whole match and for good serving that kept Iga away from Barbara for most of the time....(Iga's return on 1st serve was poor that day...)

Iga also amazing, like the whole season, incredible performance from her, undisputable world nr. 1. If she will face some serious opponents in the future I truly hope that it will be also some of our young talented Czech girls. Today it was very tough match, Barbora did many UE in the 1st set, but she was able to return, really amazing.
