Well done Shapovalov. Managed to get his watch front and centre on his tearful walk off. Kerching!!!!

[Dallas]

Thats how you serve in an opening game!

[Dallas]

Then breaks to love

[Dallas]

After winning the first 14 points in a row finally in the 4th game Pliskova manages to get her first points - still broke to 30 though

Not sure I've ever seen a GS final start this way

Might finally be getting a match in this final

[Dallas]

That was some great play from Pliskova, especially having just been broken from 40-0 up and now needing to break back to save the match

[greenmark]

Hope she wins 2nd set and then wehave a match on our hands.
Pliskova has looked really inhibited.
The fear of losing seems to have given her a kick up the bum.

[Dallas]

In the words of Basil Brush
Booooooom Booooooooooom!

Pliskova has mental issues, why would she even hit that ball toss

[greenmark]

The lack of either player shrieking on every stroke has just struck me.
Lovely.

[Dallas]

Don't think there's been a challenge throughout the final from either player has there?

[Dallas]

Barty certainly deserved to win that, but at 30-40 if Pliskova had taken that gift she was given and broke her the outcome could have been very difference

I couldn't trade it but did keep an eye on it. Looked like a nice trading match.

[Dallas]

Here we go, first major final of the day (not often that can be said)
