That's rather presumptuous. I'm sure if you want to talk about European soccer there will be some takers but this isn't the thread for that. The thread title is what it is for a reason.
Back to
Sports in Canadian culture:
In all fairness, Fernandez didn't play as well as she did the previous 4 matches. Her serve let her down and in a close match it only takes 1-3 service issues/game to lose your service game. Shots she was making all week sailed long, wide, or nowhere close to getting over the net. She didn't have the same energy and seemed a step slower. I agree with the comment from Chris Evert that all those long matches might have caught up to her.
That said, one should focus on what an amazing run she had. Beating Osaka, Svitolina, Kerber, and Sabalenka! That would normally win you a tournament. Well done and I hope she can build on this break through when the 2022 season starts. We now have 2 legitimate title contenders on the women's side: Andreescu and Fernandez. Can't complain.
