pretty thrilled for azarenka to beat serena, finally exorcise that demon. i watched the first set and then the first 4-5 games of the second set and it really did look like azarenka had flipped a switch and turned into a different player. wonder if serena's really hurt or if she was just going to the trainer to save face when it was clear that azarenka was cruising late.
i love serena but it's cool to see someone get a win after so long being dominated by a rival. not sure who i'd rather win the final. osaka is so fun but what a story if azarenka wins majors seven years apart, after having a kid and not winning a single match in 2019!
