The speech was not the height of class, but I could understand it. The word “grace” is used a lot these days but not put into practice.

Check and check. Gauff deserved it. Kept her head.

I want to see how many of us are supremely graceful after one of our, let's say, projects, do not come through.
Let's go back to Wimbledon in the old days. The trophies are handed out, the two players take a couple of pictures, then they can go to their lockers and calm down for a while. Press conference for the loser about three hours later.

Rennae likes to stir the pot.

totally disrespectful of Coco.. Saba needs to respect her opponents

and it brings out their worst side..

I found Coco's return of serve better than usual and little more pop on her forehand than usual. I found Sabablenka's game exactly as it always is, a chance of going off the rails, which it did this time. It's happened before and will again. She could use some time with Emily Post to learn how to be more dignified.
