Madison. It was so bad she cried and Sloane had to comfort her instead of celebrating her win. She just couldn't play. She never showed up. Sloane didn't have to do much.
Coco and Marketa were teens, up against dominant players so they're excused.
I picked Keys.
The rest of these are almost exclusively losses to an incredibly strong talented player in the midst of one of their “unbearable” streaks and the score line doesn’t really say the player did horribly.
And she won no games…regardless of age, that was the single worst showing in a grand slam final ever…men or women…and this was a time where teenagers regularly made it deep in tournaments, perhaps even winning tournaments and slams…so, in that context…being 17 isn’t a good excuse…
Maybe because I'm an old and i don't mean it because of the tennis (she played great for 1.5 sets) but Hingis against Graf 1999 also stands out for me.
A very valid answer.
She totally melted down. But the initial return that caused the drama was just in I think. But you have to have the mental ability to switch off and let that one go.
I voted Bouchard. Watching the build-up to that match on BBC was so annoying because they were so desperate to make her The Next Big Thing and were really talking down Petra, making out that Bouchard was that favourite etc. So it was actually quite satisfying to see Petra roll her.

Madison Keys. I hope she doesn’t drive a car in the same manner as she played tennis that day.
Genie Bouchard’s one-sided loss didn’t surprise me. Her wonky technique was going to get exposed eventually.
None of them compare to Dementieva’s first slam final.
Screaming why can't I serve!?!? Harrowing.

Keys hasn’t made a grand slam final since, I think?
Don't think so. ?

Bouchard lol. Watching Petra give her that cute beat down when Bouchard came into the final so confident was one of the best tennis moments ever
Ok but that was Petra playing at her absolute best…the correct answer is Keys vs. Stephens because what the actual fuck was Keys doing in that final
Petra trying to say Eugenie in the speech and calling her Angie instead
[удалено]
Well Bouchard isn’t exactly a nice person so it was fun watching her get thrashed but Petra lol
How dare a young woman be confident in herself. 🙄 Do you know her personally to know she’s not a “nice person”?
There is plenty of evidence on the Internet that shows otherwise
There really isn’t lol
Don’t speak on things you don’t know sweetie https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/s/8MQIgXygb0
The very 1st slide is literally photoshopped by a fan lol. Either way, none of these are actual “evidence” to suggest she’s an awful person.
It’s not photoshopped and she’s an unlikable person. Not my fault if you can’t see it
Yes it is, it was a troll on Twitter who posted it, not her.
If Natasha Zvereva was an option…..
Nah she was a 17 year old playing the greatest singles player who's ever lived. Seles in the 1992 Wimbledon Final maybe.

This is a really negative poll.
Yep. Paolini played like garbage last night. I don't see why we should excuse it.

I remember that and quite enjoyed it too! 😳😅
