Definitely. She's quite intelligent, a remarkable player and a great student of the game.

Student is doing her an bit of an injustice Martina Navratilova has a Harvard PhD level tennis IQ

I hate TC coverage of major events..My new love Rybakina was playing my future wifey Badosa in a 3 set but those jackasses switch to the bald Italian guy I think and an American player they're trying to push TC plus. Not going EVER make my budget

 

[the AntiPusher]

I'm sorry, but Rybakina bores me. If she's the way forward, i'll be rooting for the crazy ones.

I'm surprised.. why don't you appreciate her game. Rybakina is a beast when she decides to compete.

Welp you're not a fan of Elena and I would rather watch paint dry instead of watching Sakkari.

With Sakkhari it's the annoying grunt..

Maybe she doesn't pay well..the "physio"was more than an employee for sure.
