THE GREATEST MOMENT IN FOOTBALL HISTORY. THE GREATEST ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHAT. A. MOMENT.
CLAIRE LIU IS A WTA CHAMPION 🥹 So deserved after a long injury layoff.
Also up to #69 after briefly dropping out of the top 100 last week.

FLASHBACK: 2014 Aus Open R4 - Cibulkova d. Sharapova 3-6 6-4 6-1
In a match with brilliant ballstriking, Cibulkova caused a huge upset, albeit Sharapova was slightly injured in the 3rd set. Cibulkova went on to make her first and only slam final, dropping only 1 set on the way.
FLASHBACK: 2022 Indian Wells R2 - Riske d. Muguruza 0-6 6-3 6-1
Muguruza led 6-0 3-0 and was in total control, before a huge collapse allowed Riske back into the match. Riske won 12 of the final 13 games, extending her winning streak vs Muguruza to 3 matches.

🇵🇱 Katarzyna Kawa is on the verge of making the top 100 for the first time at age 33 (nearly 34) 😍
If she makes it, it would make her the 2nd oldest player ever to debut in the top 100 (🇦🇺 Rodionova is the oldest at age 34).
FLASHBACK: 2016 WTA Finals F - Cibulkova d. Kerber 6-3 6-4
7th seed Cibulkova lost the first 2 matches in her group including a loss to Kerber, before sneaking into the semis and causing a huge upset in the final. This was by far Cibulkova's biggest title of her career.

‼️ Gail Falkenberg has withdrawn from Beijing. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope to see her back on court soon!
Rodionova Nation, it seems mother was coaching Krunic this year for a few months. With Krunic's injury, she might find another player 👀
FLASHBACK: 2023 Seoul R1 - Back d. Ostapenko 3-6 6-1 7-6
Local wildcard Dayeon Back was a massive underdog coming into this match, but BBB Ostapenko turned up. Back came 'back' from 2-5 down in the 3rd set & saved a match point (where Ostapenko had an open FH DTL).
FLASHBACK: 2016 US Open F - Kerber d. Ka Pliskova 6-3 4-6 6-4
Pliskova was in her first slam final and led 3-1 in the final set, before Kerber raised her level and came back. Kerber reclaimed the world #1 ranking here, but this was the one that got away for Pliskova...
