Emma has to win one of the smaller events to build up her resume,at the moment her win at the Open comes off like a fluke.Right now she is complaining about her wrist,it looks like just before a slam she becomes "injured". Maybe she is struggling with anxiety and the burden of expectation from the British media.
I guess especially here at the US Open her anxiety and nerves have to be sky high because the expectations now are so much for her to do well here. Last year it was all fun and just playing the game. Pretty much the same thing for Leylah. The pressure they both must have this year must be incredible. They are also both only 19 years old I think. That is pretty crazy.

I don't agree with that. Zheng will likely prove to be a tougher out than Osta. You know exactly what you're going to get w/ her: hit the cover off the ball, make a variety of errors and connect w/ some winners but overall way too inconsistent to win against anybody who can keep the ball in court.
Zheng is a tough player and is having good results on hardcourts.She took out higher ranked players in Toronto.

Zheng is tough. She made it to the QF's in Toronto and beat Andreescu. Jabeur retired in the match she played against her. She eventually lost to Pliskova.

Agree Tossip the British media are rough and expect a lot, look what they did to Murray before he won his GS

Well no one thought she'd defend her title! That's a bit of a joke on the women's tour to allow such lowly players to even make a major final! :facepalm: :astonished-face:

They said yesterday that this tournament is talking the least about the defending Ladies Champion and Runner Up then anytime in its history. Also with the whole Serena thing going on that overshadows it.

That's what makes the ladies' tour a joke! Most of their press depends on 2 players about to retire while the top echelon's the most anonymous in history! I certainly remember when Evert, Navratilova, & Graf aged out! It just wasn't this bad w/ replacement stars to fill the void unlike today! Sad!

In some ways I like it that each tournament there is this not having a clue who is going to win the tournament. Yeah there is Iga at the top, but there is a huge amount of players on the WTA tour that could pop up and win a major. Take Caroline Garcia, she is a real threat to winning this thing. I picked Amanda Anisimova to win it all and yeah that is a long shot but not really out of the question.

Oh My God. Amanda loses the 1st set. Not good at all. :facepalm: :face-with-symbols-on-mouth:

Physio & Doctor on court and talking with Amanda. She was limping after the last point of the 1st set. It seems like it is not that and she is not feeling good.

Here's our other favorite Ginger, Italian Sinner who's in a spot of trouble being extended to 5 sets unnecessarily! He s/b off court by now! :fearful-face: :facepalm:

At least I don't have to check up on the WTA draw anymore. With Kasatkina out and having her all the way to the SF's and Amanda winning the whole thing that ends that.

I hope so. They are both still young and could play a lot of matches together in the future. I think that could be some really exciting and fun matches.
