1) Congratulations Peyton!!
🍾🥳🎉
She’ll arrive in PARIS saying “I’ll always have MOROCCO 🇲🇦.”
Kind of “Casablanca” in reverse.
2) Peyton is so far and away the most butch player on the WTA tour. Maria Sakkari has a poster of Peyton on her wall with a post-it in hat says “#ButchGoals” on it.
And Peyton has a completely lack of elegant movement that she has a poster of Sakkari with a post-it that says #GraceGoals at the bottom… and that is something that absolutely no one thought that we would ever see.
Peyton has more burly butch energy and Robocop-inspired fluidity than about 90% of the guys on the ATP tour.
3) I love that a tan, blonde girl from Ohio, who went to college in Texas, picked up her first WTA trophy by beating an African girl on a clay court in Africa. WTF? 😬
Who saw that coming?
4) I expected Danielle Collins to completely trounce Madison Keys.
Keys has such a history of collapsing and Collins has been so good this year that I expected a straight sets win with several breaks of serve, just in reverse.
