As for Madison, she seems to take off to a slow start every match and is driving uphill for the rest of the match..that's why she gets wore out at the very end. It's not good tennis

Madison has almost 70 UFEs vs Day . It only takes 48 points to win a match . That's giving away a match and a half..now that's brainless

Well that is easier said than done okay, there will never be another Serena Ever! Coco hasnt got the tools or game like Serena had/Has
Coco is her own person and she is an intelligent and thoughtful human being, and those are more important qualities than tennis.Even if she never wins a title until she retires,she is set for two or three generations.Let her mature at her own pace.Saba is twenty six and thats seven years older than Coco,and she struggled for years until she broke through this year.She will have her moment in the sun for sure.

I agree Coco is her own person I never said otherwise, it is a pity though when I am trying to be constructive towards Coco and what is needed in her game, I get comments like I dont like her, which is rubbish okay?
You can call out Swiatek for being a Robot? and when I disagree I get ;laughed at? how can anyone talk tennis on this forum when we cant discuss the different players say short coming in their games? the minute I say what is needed in Coco's game I get attacked is that fair I dont think so, I have also said in other players game what is needed?, maybe people here should take the time to read them?
Lets discuss tennis and players in a fair way, not be quick to rubbish another poster, when they say what they think is needed in any players game., I am sick and tired of being attacked every bloody time say what is needed in Coco's game, if people read my post on Coco and her game today, I said some positive comments, I suggest you read them, before having another go at me. Thanks

Seeing I was called into work and just got home, I am not posting matches of interest for Friday 2nd June, so someone else can do it if they like.

@don_fabio check out a replay of Keys match vs Day( I never heard of the player ) Why does her team ( including Davenport) allows Madison to get away with such a big back swing on her FH..I remember earlier in my life my tennis coach really wanted me to shorten the back swing to really put foot to ball. I think it's the reason this ballbasher has so many brainless UFEs
Yeah that's a LONG back swing, her head of the racket is waving to the crowd on the left. Same here, coach didn't allow me to swing that far back. There was a drill when I had a tennis ball in the armpit and during the back swing it was not supposed to fall down. When you are a kid you naturally want to smack the ball with the arm only until you learn that shot is made with foot, knee, hip, torso, shoulder and arm, all working together in the perfect motion.

It's way too many UEs for Keys, with that long preparation for a shot there is also less time to take the ball early.

Just reading some tweets,
I have to laugh out loud,
Mira Andreeva talking about Rublev,
"If one day he would propose me, I would say yes, yes, yes and yes". ( she was talking about playing mixed doubles to be clear LOL )

Exactly 100 percent my sentiment. If you and I see the Same thing, it's amazing that all that talent around her haven't corrected this obvious flaw in Madison's FH. Just as she did in the US Open final vs Sloane, Madison's fh will always tend to break down under pressure or when stressed. IMO

Yeah she is starting to appear phoney with all this trying to be like Rafa crap

I liked her at the beginning when she won her first slam,and now her head is all up in Rafa's derriere and acting very entitled.She should emulate her idol who is humble and personable.

Rublev must be dating maybe Medvedev sister or something.This little girl needs home training.Let tennis be the mouthpiece...

Same thing that's been happening. She started slow. Flat as cardboard and dense as the rock Gibraltar.
Well she has doubles and mixed doubles to look forward to, maybe she should have her bloods checked, she could be low in iron, she has been flat like that for awhile now.

Watching Mrs Monfils playing a tight 3 set match. I see Gael is in her support box. Good for him and his wrist injury doesnt prohibit him from cheering and supporting his wifey. :) ..
