Quite frankly I dont know if Iga Swaitek teaming up with Wim Fissette was a good idea?
To me she has to get back to the basics of her game, using more top spin on her fhand and working in the rallied, now she's just ball bashing and aiming for the lines on every point? Iga plays Linda Noskova next a player she has had trouble with in the past, defeating her at the AO,
BTW that has to be one of the worst matches of the year Swiatek v Eala, I wont be rewatching that match 'Ever"
Iga W 40 UFE 57 Eala W 16 UFE 47 Ugh!
Eala has to get a 'serving coach' for starters, I dont know why they didnt correct or try to improve her serve at the Rafa academy

Gauff has righted the ship in the 2nd set over Yastremska winning 62
Going 3 and hopefully Gauff has woken up and out of the doldrums
Help!
Gauff serving for the match, broken her serve letting her down, back on serve 5 all in the 3rd set
Coco now has a second chance to serve out the match at 6-5
Gauff d Yastremska ( it wasnt pretty at all ) 06 62 75

I chuckled to myself when I read this,

Naomi Osaka has taken a wild card into WTA125 Saint-Malo tournament maybe she has woken up to the fact, you cant just turn up for a WTA1000 event and win matches, have to do the preparation beforehand!

either that or she's reading our stuff

Sascha Bajin, Donna Vekic's new coach, posted on social media, and complained that,

One hour before play today in Madrid, Paula Badosa withdrew, citing her back issues again, thought she would be okay to play at her home tournament, sadly her back has played up again., her ongoing back issues have plagued Badosa for nearly 2 years.
LL Christina Bucsa will move into Badosa's draw to play Veronika Kudermetova today
