Miami Open, Miami, FL, 2024 - WTA 1000

Noskova is scary. She hits really hard, like early 90s Seles and Capriati. If Noskova ever puts it all together, she's going to win a bunch of slams.

I like Linda Noskova--a see a lot of upside to the teenager. She has a few top ten scalps already!

Her movement lets her down and any player needs to expose it, she needs to lose some weight and get fit, hitting hard from the baseline only gets you so far, also she needs more variety in her game, when Iga last played her, she should have moved Linda around the court more., like she has done in the past.
The game has changed since the 90s by the way

Elena and Vika SF match just started, hopefully we will see a match not 'error laden'"
I think the days of Vika wearing shorts has come to an end, the shorts she has on,looks" like toddlers training shorts"
Love watching Elena she has such easy power off both wings, 11 winners so far, also has a lot of variety on her serve
Vika has tweaked her serve, much higher than it used to be, also more out in front, though being out in front can cause faults, especially on Vika's 2nd serve, her weakness.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rybakina 1st set 64, quite a good contest so far
Vika took a bathroom break, sad to say she didnt change 'those toddlers training shorts"

 

[kskate2]

That girl has never worn any good kits. Her whole career looks like hand-me-downs from the Nike Outlet store for misfits

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well this match has turned around big time, Elena too slow getting on ball, she looks lethargic now, quite different to the 1st set she played
Elena could be looking a a "bagel' in the 2nd set, she did said yesterday she felt tired? good play from Vika

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vika won the 2nd set 60, Elena now taking a toilet break, I wonder if that will get her 'recharged' for the 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elena playing aggressive tennis, like in the 1st set, maybe the toilet break after the 2nd set, made her reset and recharged her game
Elena serving for the match 5-4, broken 5 all 3rd set
TB for the 3rd set

She is competing with Collins with these thrift shop outfits.

Actually Collins has a new clothes sponsor and her kits are 100% improved

 

[kskate2]

That's one moody chick, Elena. She was so up and down in this match and unnecessarily prolonged this thing.

Cannot have an ugly outfit contest and not include the ringleader: Osta.

I dont know what happened to her in the 2nd set, which was dismal.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a turnaround from Rybakina who won just 5 points in the 2nd set, started playing aggressive tennis, too good in the TB for Vika
Reaches Miami final for the 2nd consecutive time 64 06 76(2)

That's one moody chick, Elena. She was so up and down in this match and unnecessarily prolonged this thing.

She is playing hot and cold, but she regrouped well in the 3rd set TB. Actually Vika helped with so many UEs. And why does Vika's pants look like diapers?

Audience attendance seems low from what I've seen in couple of matches this tournament.

 

[kskate2]

But that's Vika's story these last 5 years. She can get to the SF or even the Final, but cannot put these young gunz away like previously advertised.

Inquiring minds want to know. When you find out, please pass it on. We'll do the same...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rybakina said she is not practicing on her off days for the first time at a tournament Says she likely will not come on site again till the final
