Brit brilliantly brings the bacon back to Britain. Try saying that three times fast. Congratulations, Jack Draper for winning the prestigious men's tennis title.

Quite an alliteration you’ve got there! Back to his buddies in Britain could have been excessive, I’m just saying! Bacon back, pretty soon Sir Francis will be hollering at Lady Eggs not to get too involved because he has a cholesterol problem.

I’m pleased I called both, I did really want Saba to win, but there is no denying Andreeva’s talent

I see they finally got that heavy trophy into Mirra's arms.

She steadfastly avoided trying a trophy life at the presentation.

Who dreamt up that heavy lump of glass as a suitable trophy for a woman's competition?

Anybody know it's weight?

Ah, here we go, a quick Google brings up this:

Indian Wells Trophy🏆

- Made by Baccarat, a luxury French manufacturer of fine crystal glassware, jewelry & accessories
- Weighs 38 lb (~17 kg)
- Represents a Shooting Star

Need a serious gym workout for that.

It is so nice to see names that are not the usual ones. Mira taking out Iga to get to the finals was epic and I loved every minute of it! Draper taking out Fritz and then Carlos A was masterful. Well done!!

That was not an easy road for Draper. So impressive and a seemingly good egg!

Couldn't have been much tougher, shouldn't have to go through a draw that tough again anytime soon given he's Top 8 now.

Mirra is a star, and with so much poise, rapidly on the upward trek. Jack has loads of talent but has been unfortunate with injuries. There is so much talent below age 25 on the ATP: Sinner 23, Alcaraz 21, Draper 23,Rune 21, Perricard 21, Musetti 23, Fils 20, Shelton 22, Korda 24, Fonseca 18.
