Did anyone in this thread even watch the match?

She was good value for the second set and probably should have converted one of those set points.

Overall both players were very even for the majority of the match, after a bit of a slow start by Emma, but she was the one attacking and controlling the rallies, Coco just defended extremely well and always managed to force one more shot.

Yeah lol, people sound as if she stumbled upon winning.

What happens woth these young players when they win too young is that the mental pressure becomes too unbearable and they get the yips.

It happens on the women side all the time. Evem someone like Ana Ivanovic who was in a coupke of finals before winning the french open, her mental game just went away.

Can't say she didn't deserve to win, she beat everyone put in front of her.

Having said that, the best wins technically were beating #11 seed Bencic and #17 Sakkari, didn't face another seed. Like I say, that's not her fault but she definitely capitalised on a tournament with about as fortunate a run to the final as she could have hoped for.
