No.... not fair. Even Pegula made reference to that in her own words that it wasn't an even playing field and that it sucks. A win is a win however, you want to win fairly and not against someone who had literally just played a semi final. It isn't Pegula's fault, she has played well. The organisation and scheduling have caused this and are not looking out for the players best interest and welfare. It's all about the $$$$. This sort of thing shouldn't happen in future.

Even with the rain, the tournament did have choices to make it fair for the players and stay on schedule. Starting with the QF, all 4 matches were scheduled for center court. It's the reason Rybakina/Kasatkina were playing their QF until 3AM. If you knew weather was gonna be a problem, the logical thing would be to schedule 2 matches on the 2nd court. The semifinal options became limited since Rybakina played so late. But if that wasn't the case, they could have started the semifinals earlier or played them at the same time. But this logical problem-solving would involve TV scheduling, ticket holders with night session tickets, etc.. All the annoying things that don't account for the athletes. So the tournament got the crappy final it deserved.

The WTA organizers handed the final to Pegula. You tell me why they did not move the final to the next day. It has been done at other venues when the weather intervenes as it did in Montreal. Liudmila beat Zheng, Bencic, Sabalenka, and Rybakina, a sensational run by any measure. Then she was forced to play the championship match 2 hours after the Rybakina semi. Is this WTA corruption? I think so.
