The development will mean that the winner of the match will
be at a disadvantage as she will be playing two full matches in a single day.

the final of the competition after beating the world number one Poland’s Iga Swiatek
with a score of 6-2, 6-7, 6-4.

better of Daria Kasatkina of Russia with a score of 5-7, 7-5, 7-6.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
