I think Kenin has played quite well, just been outgunned. The standard hasn't been that bad has it?

Very low standard for a final, worst since Barty's French Open win. Crap finals always seem to happen on clay.

Fair enough, I thought it was a decent match. I've seen a lot worse on the WTA.

Replying to @josemorgado Swiatek with some great words for Aga. "Radwanska didn't win a Slam but she was on top of the tour for 12 years or something. Many people will compare me to her, but I still need to do a lot to be the best ever player in my country." | ||||||||||||

Just a week ago Iga Swiatek was unsure whether she would commit to tennis long term or go to university.
Now the 19-year-old is a Grand Slam champion - the lowest-ranked woman to ever win the French Open. "I wasn't expecting to win this trophy," the Pole said after her dominant 6-4 6-1 win over American fourth seed Sofia Kenin in Saturday's final. "It's obviously amazing for me. It's a life-changing experience. "I just feel like I kind of made history." | ||||||||||||

Calling Angoose and Des pond
take a look at the set betting markets if you get the chance and tell me what you reckon  | ||||||||||||

it's a pity the correct score market for the first set doesn't have more interest

I can reasonably accurately predict where the match market will go on a point by point basis once in play, and can perform the same trick in reverse, being able to tell the score and if a first serve fault has occurred by looking only at the market .
But I am a complete ignoramus when it comes to set betting markets  Anyway, some general background stats. Only 8 (15%) French Open finals have gone to 5 sets, whilst there have been 22 (42%) 3 setters , and the same number of 4 setters. The last 5 set final was in 2004, the last one before that was in 1999. Thus, there has not been a five setter in the Nadal era. In the 2012 final, Nadal beat Djokovic in four sets after going two sets up. In the 2013 semi-final, Nadal beat Djokovic in five sets after winning the first. In the 2014 semi-final, Nadal beat Djokovic in four sets after losing the first set. However, in the 2015 semi-final, Djokovic won in straight sets (7-5 6-3 6-1) IN HEAVY CONDITIONS So, what does all of that mean for today ? Je sais pas In the overall market, Nadal is the 58% favourite, and I agree with that, and there may even be a value price. I would be surprised if either player was to win in straight sets, other than for a genuine injury during the match. 5 sets would not surprise me, in which case it becomes a bit of a toss up. If forced to make a selection, I would go for Nadal in 4, my lack of knowledge of these markets preventing me from knowing if 4.60 is a fair price. | ||||||||||||
