Wow..what a match.Saba lost and that's okay.Muchova has a lovely game and deserves the media attention like the other players.I hope the other match goes on and on for hours.
With Bea, that's entirely possible. I don't think she knows the meaning of quick and steady work. Even if she loses, I believe she will keep Iga out there as long as humanly possible. LOL

That was a good match, and if Muchova had lost, it was going to be a certain amount of "might have been." When Saba got broken trying to serve it out, i absolutely couldn't wait any longer to leave, and it seemed like the writing was on the wall. Still, exciting match.

Bea seems laidback and probably lives near the beach and today she is not talking to her coach.Its on and popping today ,and Iga is not going to find it easy to beat Bea .

I’m sorry, I just can’t get into Sabalenka’s brand of tennis at all. I would love for Iga to get taken out and get a new slam winner.
Coco was probably the best chance for that. After all, she has the 2nd most wins at RG the last 3 years. The only one with more is Iga, who is probably going to win it all again.

Iga 's footwork reminds of a young Serena.. There's NEVER been a player that lived that could have handled Serena during the Serena Slam..Venus should have been born ten years earlier jajaja

Well she had her chance and couldn't get it done. 0-7 now. I wouldn't minimize the others left in the draw. Bea has defeated Iga on HC while she was ranked #1, something Coco has yet to do.

Uh, Jennifer Capriati held her own quite well against Serena in her prime. I'd be willing to bet that peak Navratilova, Graf, and Seles would have handled Serena as well. Venus born 10 years earlier would have a similar career to Gabriela Sabatini. She probably loses to Graf and Seles more often than not.

Remember Henin struggled against Venus but was very good against Serena,and Momo had a lopsided h2h with Serena but was very successful against Venus.Its all about match ups,and Coco doesn't have a positive H2h with Iga.She gas beaten Jabuer,Saba,and Karolina Pliskova and others...
