And playing an American (Gauff) in the final to defend her Championship.
Nice to see Coco make a Slam Final and “live up to the tennis media hype.”  Probably her best chance for a Major; her game is geared for clay.  Not the “forte” of most Americans who (mostly) grow up playing on hard surfaces.

Both Iga and Coco benefited from a favorable draw - allot of upsets (early) on the Women’s side.  Take it when you can and beat those in front of you.

I too think Iga is good (really impressed with her unexpected run at Roland Garros last year), but (right now) women’s tennis is in a dip.  Barty just retired and Osaka doesn’t seem motivated to play at elite level anymore.  Muguruza never put enough consistency together over a season to live up to potential (even though she has two Slams).  The finest talents (my eye) right now appear to be Swaitek and Raducanu.  Emma needs to work on her clay technique though.  Gauff and Fernandez have nice games as well.  All young, think those 4 are ready to take the women’s game forward.

Iga has to be heavily favored for a repeat in the final, but Gauff is also playing well and has a chance…
