AI says Vekic has 15% chance against Alexandrova's 85%.. ridiculous! It is almost even, in my opinon..

Though ostapenko is a higher class player, borderline Tier 1, Alexandrova is top Tier 2...but their head to head is pretty even...

So, if Ostapenko is bordering Tier 1, and Alexandrova is a top Tier 2, by that reasoning... they are about the same, no?

Alexandrova is 29 years old and her highest ranking is #16. I don't think we can argue her and Ostapenko are the same. On any given day (albeit not today) they might be, but certainly not career wise.

Yes, but I would still expect the tier 1 to win..which she did

Ostapenko seemed to totally overwhelm Alexandrova with her power, moved hr from side to side and left her frustrated. Very impressive! Ostapenko is on a roll... even her second serve wasnt attackable..

The people that designed the Doubles trophies really gave it a lot of effort and thought, right?

I really wasn't sure if the doubles trophy was legit, especially after seeing Aljona's trophy.
