Fun fact which I don't think anybody shared yet:
This year women's final had higher number of views then men's final. This really surprised me since it is usually the other way around and not even close. I guess people wanted to see new faces battling it on girls side and/or maybe we can attribute this to viewers in UK. I believe tennis is very big there and having their girl in the final must have been magnet for many to tune in.
That's surprising indeed especially as also in the men's final there were a lot of stakes on the table. Tennis is indeed big in UK (together with some other sports including track cycling) and we can only imagine what it would give if Radanescu would be able to win Wimbledon. Last British female winner dates already back from 1977.
