US Open [Women], 2022 - Grand Slam

[Hailz]

This year her game has gone AWOL, as I said mentally she is weak.

Mentally she is weak. Physically she is not. She is one of the strongest women I have seen on the tour.

4 DFs from Sakkari is she trying to out do Sabalenka now on tour lol!

They both hit a ton out of the ball. Maybe she is trying to be like her.

I think we have talk about the mental side of your game,yesterday, she maybe physically strong, still upstairs in the head department is where it matters most in a game

Sure you have to have the physical part of the game down or you are not going to play well, but if your head is not in the game those physical things you can perform easily all fall apart. Like they say in the Disney movie High School Musical, "You've Got To Keep Your Head In The Game."

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone again! They're going on & on about Serena being the greatest & I can't understand it! She has half the wins of Chris & Martina, has limited success in Paris just like Fed & Novak, nowhere near as high on the list at #1 like Steffi or Martina! Someone help me out!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sakkari finally holds serve, her serve has gone AWOL today, she needs to take some pace off it for starters, she may find she will get into the service box

Maria leads 4-1 2nd set, exact same score as in the 1st set, before Sakkari came back and won 6-4

I can't really help ya out much. I really haven't seen much of Chris and Martina outside of the commentating booth and Steffi retired from tennis 8 years before I was born. Serena is the player I have seen play and to me she is the greatest female player ever to step on the court.

That poster is not a fan of Serena, moving on, lets stay in the present and watch the tennis that is now on live okay

Well I never saw a lot of players from the past, but I still have to acknowledge their greatness! Numbers don't lie and IMO Serena and Nadal are in the same boat; thought to be the GOATs, but the record says something differently if looked at impartially!

Maria leads 5-2 in the 2nd set

 

[Hailz]

Kalinskaya is the first woman to move on at the Us Open with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Peterson

Alli Riske also moves on to R2 in straights.

So far so good with my draw picks.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I would like to get a pair of scissors and cut of that stupid looking bun Sakkari has on the top of her head lol!

Garcia through in straight sets 62 64 over Rakhimova
