Today was the day of the first of the Wimbledon finals, the women's.
We saw newcomer Eugenie Bouchard and former champion Petra Kvitova play for the Wimbledon Title.
I had high expectations for both players, but I don't think many people expected it to be the one way final that it was.
Petra Kvitova wins her second title 6-3 6-0.
Seeing that scoreline doesn't tell you what happened out there on centre court. Bouchard played as well as she possibly could, there was nothing wrong with the way she played. Kvitova was just too good, she didn't give Genie opportunities to get into the match. Her serves and returns were both so strong, to result in Genie winning just 3 games out of 15.
Petra was simply breathtaking, she was calm and confident, and got the win up in just 55 minutes. Bouchard will have plenty more opportunities to be in Petra's shoes, she is only 20 years old, and has only played 6 grand slams. She was not overwhelmed by the occasion, she was overwhelmed by her opponent.
It was a quick display of tennis, and I'm sure the men's final tomorrow will prove to be more entertaining. Did you enjoy the match? Was that the result you expected?
