do you think she is late because she's afraid of taking it straight on. That's the only way she will get this thing resolved is if she doesn't run from it
Probably a lack of confidence maybe,when she is late she just swipes at the ball, not hitting it correctly, Brad needs to do something, I mean she pays big bucks for his coaching

A lot of tennis journalist saying the Saba v Stearns match so far was the 'match of the tournament'
Maybe I was watching a different match, time to pour myself another strong Gin and Tonic!

Wimbledon champion and 7th seed Marketa Vondrousova withdrew on Saturday, citing personal reasons, not injury according to Reuters.

I dont know what the problem is with Azarenka (27) at present she loses in 3 sets to Dolehide 75 26 63
Though I remember Caroline did reach her first WTA 1000 event in Guadalajar last year,
She is getting older and is probably on the decline,and that's where Halep was before she self medicated... declining.

Noskova is not scared of IGA and has great composure for such a young player.
she puts something on Iga's mind. I think it's hilarious how she so happy dropping bakery products on folks, but she is not smiling right now.

Seeing that both the AO court and this court is slower for a HC and both take spin, Iga should be able to perform better

she needed to step on Iga's neck when she had chances to go up doub break. Cannot give top players even an inch. Hopefully She'll learn quickly from this

Iga has also been 'tweaking' her serve must be the 'thing' in 2024 lol! at least it is more fluid,
