US Open 2023 [Women] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ostapenko d Swiatek 36 63 61 and will play Coco Gauff in the QF
Sabalenka if she defeats Kastakina tomorrow in their 4th round match will be the New No 1 player and makes the QF, she only had to go one more round than Iga to be be the New No 1 player
I didnt think Swiatek could defend her title, my pick is still alive and kicking

Wow...stunning Ostapenko from what I saw. She blew Iga away at the end.

Osta can do this, though most of the time she cannot do this on a constant basis, if she could she would be the No 1 player, as her game translates to most surfaces

Osta W 30 UFE 20
Iga W 18 UFE 18

Love this from Penko,

Penko spoke on Electronic line calling after defeating Iga,

"Honestly, I dont believe in it 100%" she said to Renae Stubbs

The stars are really aligning for Coco to win this US Open.

Aryna Sabalenka IS the new LIVE world #1, Nobody can reach her - for now - in the rankings and next Monday she'll officially become world #1

Not so fast she still has a long way to go, she has to cut out those UFE for starters, and her serve at times let her down in the match against Caroline

Saba only needed to go one more round than Iga to be the new No 1 player at the USO, she will play Kastakina tomorrow in her 4th round match, she just needs to focus on herself and forgot about what lies ahead of her, Saba has a good draw at the USO and just needs to watch her margins

She is really in that frequency....

Penko and Gauff H2H are 1 all
Recent match AO this year where Penko defeated Gauff in SS in the 4rh round
Gauff won in October 2019 lLinz in 3 sets

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga was not a happy camper, cold handshake at the net.
Iga does not like playing against 'big hitters' she cannot absorb their pace, unlike other players.
BTW their H2H is now 4-0 for Ostapenko
Officially, nexr Monday Iga's 75 week reign as No 1 comes to an end

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sabalenka will become the 29th women to hold the WTA No 1 singles ranking.And the 8th player to rank No 1 in both singles and doubles

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Pegula will play Keys first up tomorrow in their 4 round match
Coco and Jess (3) will play doubles in the afternoon against the 14 seeds Ruse/Kostyuk

Iga serve is an easy attackable and she is very vulnerable

This is Key's last chance to win a slam which she will find a way to lose

Iga just fed the monster ( FH and BH of Ostapenko) with fastballs..you have to give her some junk ..BG will suggest to Coco to hit some slices and underpin shots to move Jelena to create her own pace

Well Barty used to use her great bhand slice against big hitters eg Sabalenka, one way to diffuse a big hitter, Iga just ran out of idea's, as I said before she doesent like Big Hitters and cannot absorb their pace, eg players like Barty used to, also Muchova is another player who has a lot of variety in her game to diffuse big hitters.

 

[the AntiPusher]

I bet Penko sleeps in a crate in the backyard..she really is clued to Iga's serve ..that movement with the sneakers making all that noise probably is annoying to Iga when serving

I'm serious I think Iga is going to have a serious melt down because she knows she will have to change a lot to defeat Penko in their near future..I feel sad for Iga because she seems like a sweet lady

 

[the AntiPusher]

This is Key's last chance to win a slam which she will find a way to lose

Does anyone truly believe that Keys is going to play and execute with a high IQ vs Jess ..? I wouldn't bet on it.
