"My wife woke up early to watch her favorite player, Swiatek, in an intense Women's French Open final on Saturday morning."
"In the midst of the tension, she texted our friend, saying that Swiatek was in danger of losing, to which our friend agreed."
"As the match neared its end, she roused me from sleep."
"I joined her and see Swiatek and Sabalenka battling on the clay court."
"The match had already reached the third set, with Sabalenka leading 4-3."
"Sabalenka clinched the win on the fourth championship point."
"Disappointed, my wife immediately turned off the TV."
"Later, at our friend's place, my wife exclaimed, 'She lost!'"
"To our surprise, the friend replied, 'No, she won!'"
"Confusion ensued, and the friend asked who exactly won."
"I chimed in, 'Sabalenka did.'"
"Ha ha! The friend revealed the truth - we had watched the replay on the Tennis Channel."
"The actual final was Swiatek vs Muchova”
"My wife had watched a few live matches on the Tennis Channel in the past few days."
"The live match was actually on NBC on Saturday, it was the championship, of course."
"The match we watched was the Madrid Open women's final in May 2023, which was also played on a clay court."
"Who would have doubted that Swiatek and Sabalenka would be in the final?"
"Swiatek was not leading in the match on either channel when my wife and our friend were texting each other."
"We all had a good laugh at our epic tennis fail."
