Yea, this match hurts because Iga didnt play necessarily bad. Of course she wasnt at her best but she just couldnt do anything, this vulnerability was hurtful to watch
@marcinzagol6818 it wasn't hurtful at all. You, Iga's fan have to accept that she was outplayed by Alexandrova. Stop trying to make excuses when she loses. She wins a lot and will lose sometimes. Alexandrova was the better player, period.
@@dariak1221smh you completely didnt understand what I said. Of course as an Iga fan it was hurtful to watch for me, if you watch Your favourite team losing in bad fashion, it would be hurtful to watch for you, but not for a regular fan. Also tell me what excuses for Iga did i say?
Ms Swiatek, what did happen to the blue-yellowish ribbon on your hat? Isn't it kosher anymore? Miss Swiatek, with full respect for your sporting achievements, if you want to make political statements on the tennis court attach a ribbon with Israeli national colours to your hat next time.
I hoped, that this year WTA/ATP/ITF, would stop this nonsense of mixing sport with politics. Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag. One cannot choose the country of one's birth. Appointing "flag police" at the AO 2023 was not even childish... it was embarrassing and insane... Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen. Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian, UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag? USA invaded Iraq in 2003 and yet their flag was still allowed at the World Cup 2006 in Germany and 2010 in South Africa despite the fact they were still in Iraq. Either ban ALL flags of countries who go to war, or don't ban any of them. Interestingly enough Israeli tennis players Mika Buchnik and Guy Sasson are allowed to play under the national flag in AO 2024 despite the policy of their government towards Palestinians in Gaza. * All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others. Karma caught up with idiotic politicization of sport by self-righteous Western democracies. Three tennis players representing "authoritarian/ totalitarian regimes" - archenemies of so called collective West (America and it's geopolitical European vassals) play in the final of the lucrative sport. AO organisers and administrators and ATP/WTA bureaucrats dreaded that scenario. Now with the fake smiles and insincere congratulatory speeches they have to hand over the prestigious trophies and... fat cheques to the Russian and Chinese players
Ekaterina dismantled Iga's entire game. Iga loves to rally & Ekaterina gave no opportunities to do exactly that. Plus, the power, precision & placement of her shots? Most of them were unplayable because the returns were faster than the serves themselves😂
