Niculescu d. Mladenovic 60 62 Vee lost to Poochie?! Jeez. Our very own FSG could become a titlist! The final SEWTA This is the kind of final that organizers should be paying the crowd for attending the match.

Well, I would go. But yes, I'm sure this is not how they envisioned their inaugural championship. Pleased for Poochie, but FSG should and will win.

Vee still has the first serve and power in her strokes to make the occasional run, but she's done and she knows it. I'm really surprised she's still playing stuff like this. I guess all that blather about the Williams' having such incredible lives outside of tennis was nonsense. So shocking. I sort of love that the Williamses have become everything they said they'd never be. They're the establishment, the Old Hags of our generation who've discovered that they rather love the sport in the end. I think Sjögren's has actually helped Venus hang on - she has that stubborn "I'm not going to let a disease beat me" mindset. Without that motivation she might have been long gone, with these results. Apparently her back was playing up but the amazing thing is that she's playing and competing hard in MMs even when her body doesn't allow it. In the context of XEWTA that's to be applauded. Venus doesn't really give less than full effort ever. Puchkova...what a weird resurrection. So excited about FSG becoming a potential WTA titlist! I'm going out tonight but I genuinely considered staying in to watch it, and in the morning I'll regret not doing that. I would watch every match she plays unto eternity

Poochie actually puts up a huge fight, but FSG wins 6-2 4-6 6-4.

Yay FSG. Nothing wrong with her winning a title, she's pretty good.

I agree, but most of Tennis Twitter does not.

FSG A victory for tennis, this title. The Tennis Twitter fans brought up in the Williams/Ma$ha era who only like bashy winners can suck it
