Once again, we are not shown Kasatkina’s winning points. Shame on you, whoever put together these highlights! 😡

It really is so unfair

[@jameslee6118]

That's true.

[@paulkazakoff9231]

Yeah what's goin' on ! Ain't right everyone.

Also can we get 1080p and block out the casters breathing into the mic

[@somphonesouk2429]

I was watching and thinking Leyla is winning ! strange editing

[@EricJohnson-ls1rh]

Hey WTA editors. This is such a strange tactic you are using, always showing only the winners of Kasatkina's opponent. Don't you realize that we like Kasatkina. Check your stats. Kasatkina is plays an interesting game; she doesn't create a fuss or grunt like some others. Show us more of what she can do.

[@redeyexxx1841]

Why you kiss kasatkina a//

[@potzysk2]

@@redeyexxx1841 Low IQ alert. In the first set, which Kasatkina won 6-3, they showed 5 points won by Fernandez, and 2 points won by Kasatkina. That's bias. Noting bias is not "a// kissing".

[@nohaybanda6738]

Only showing winners is allowed except for the obvious double fault on set point

[@freretuck5466]

Forced errors should absolutely be included, especially since some players (like Kasatkina) rely on them with their topspin heavy, variation game

[@mohamedelmi2436]

Kasatkina doesnt actually hit a lot of winners..

[@rdmalonso1]

Kasatkina such a thoughtful player

[@jamesh256]

Leylah's last two service games were probably the worse I've ever seen in a WTA final, pretty sure she didn't win a point. Too bad because she can play with anyone but that serve unless greatly improved will always leave her outside of the top 10.

[@malibu_rum]

Any day that Dasha wins is a good day 💚 Seeing powerful ball-bashers win often is fun too, but I especially love it when a player with the smarts and craftiness shows everyone that a different style of tennis works too. Plus, Kasatkina has great variety and superb hands/"touch" on her shots.

The highlights made me think Leylah won. How did Daria break her opponent’s serve or hold hers is a mystery

[@jgunner94]

@@BoymanjusriIn the highlights they tend to put in winners and not many errors and Daria is a player who isn’t a big attacker, making winners everywhere so I guess she won quite a few points from errors, I didn’t watch the match though so I can’t say.

Congratulations to Dasha and Leylah, both played quite well. This was a very entertaining match, so much shot variation, beautiful rallies, and some really special shots, well worth of a final.

[@poeda6637]

@@Tennisisreallyfun yes, quite. That hesitation triggered my comment

[@dukeon]

Congrats Dasha!! You finally broke the runner-up curse 💚 …as for the WTA, your highlights are terrible. You show at least 2/3 Leylah hitting winners but when I look at the score, Daria is ahead. She basically led the entire match and won cleanly in two sets, but you rarely show her winning points. Also, when she immediately goes and hugs Natasha, announcer lamely says “her team” rather than her girlfriend, brother, and coach. Report what happens, don’t be vague and misleading. The WTA has great players but it is a terribly run organization that needs to clean house at the top. For way more reasons than I can go into here.

I found it silly how he didn't just say "celebrating with her (girlfriend OR partner) and team"😅 Dasha shares a known vlog channel with her girlfriend (her name is escaping me atm) and has been with her for some time now, so it wasn't surprising to see them embrace one another.

[@TajahCooksandActs]

Big ups to Dasha for clinching the title! I've watched her two finals' matches this year and felt she had the game to win but couldn't quite get over the finish line due to how dialed in her opponents were throughout those tournaments (Adelaide/Ostapenko & Abu Dhabi/Rybakina). Bummed for Leylah though! The silver lining is this run should boost her confidence leading into Wimbledon😌

Спасибо Даша за превосходный теннис ! Желаю тебе побед на Олимпиаде и на Уимблдоне !! Удачи всегда и во всём!!

[@kirrausanov]

I hoped, that this year WTA/ATP/ITF, would stop this nonsense of mixing sport with politics. Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag. One cannot choose the country of one's birth. Appointing "flag police" at tennis tournaments is not even childish... it is embarrassing and insane... Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen. Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian, UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag? USA invaded Iraq in 2003 and yet their flag was still allowed at the World Cup 2006 in Germany and 2010 in South Africa despite the fact they were still in Iraq. Either ban ALL flags of countries who go to war, or don't ban any of them. Interestingly enough Israeli tennis players Mika Buchnik and Guy Sasson are allowed to play under the national flag in AO 2024 despite the policy of their government towards Palestinians in Gaza. *** All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others.

[@mehmetdogaguvendi580]

In fact, it was really a heartwarming final appearance which was played between Fernandez and Kasatkina. Even though Leylah contended more valiant and steadfast as of the second set, Daria Kasatkina has explicitly protected her nonchalance and serenity, dictating the points with her resilience and efficiency. It was the most crucial portion of this clash in order to lead the rallies. Even so, I want to appreciate the efforts, perseverance and tenacity of the professional Canadian tennis competitor. She needs more time and opportunities to reach the highest scale. She will be more resilient and efficient with the time. It was commonly a scintillating tourney for Leylah Fernandez.
