    She is very slow defending wide backhands,

    But maybe against Swiatek everyone will
    look slow specially on clay.

    Because the rain had suspended most matches,
    I made an exception and watched women's tennis.

    It was a good match. Osaka had a breakpoint
    to go up 5-1 in the deciding set, but could
    not take it. She also had one match point
    when she was serving at 5-3, but Iga saved
    it.

    What a victory for Iga! She's the favourite
    to win it all again.

    She didn't give an inch. Great play in the third from both.

    Naomi's win would have been devastating for the reputation of the
    tipping contest. Every entry has Swiatek winning the women's title.
    Luckily, "if" never comes.

    Iga is highly underrated for her ability, match smarts, and willingness
    to embrace being the world's number one female tennis pro. The more I
    watch her the more I am impressed.

    Her psychologist deserves a lot of the credit.
