@Fiero425 That rule is for the ATP. The WTA doesn't have the equivalent rule and it's absolutely preposterous.

So you're saying since she's barely in the top 15, even though a Wimbledon Chp., she wasn't invited to play in the WTA Tour Championships?

Given the year she's having, won't Swiatek win the whole thing?

Probably, but it would have been nice to have all the slam winners present especially w/ the absence of Ash. Iga is the only slam winner amongst the 8. It's hardly a contest, no?

IDK why not! I just wished Swiatek had help to put women's tennis in the news! No one cares! Unfortunately Osaka and Barty aren't available!

Caroline didnt play that bad, Iga was just too strong.

Girl, shut your mouth. That woman had 0-40 on Iga and didn't get one return in play. It's not like Iga served 3 big bombs.

Yes she did still Caroline didnt convert any of her chances no? lol!

BTW Coco should not be having this much trouble with Daria?

 

[kskate2]

Coco comes up lame again. She was up 4-1 in the first set and 3-0 in the TB and blew that set. She was in tears on the changeover.

 

[kskate2]

Of course not. But she lost twice this year to Daria. I think it's in her head and the pressure of this week isn't helping.

 

[kskate2]

16 winners and 30 UE (24 FH) is not going to get it done. That FH is dismal and everybody and their mama is breaking it down.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Agree it is in her head, Coco has the game to defeat Daria, just has to be more patient, I still have to remind myself Coco is still young, agree the pressure of the finals may have got to her.

Welp! Let's see what she is made of.

 

[kskate2]

I mean Iga flat out spanked Daria's love offering serves on Tues. I don't know why Coco has an issue doing the same.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco is not moving her feet? 29 UFE now on that FH, she has lost all confidence sad to say
Broken Daria leads 4-2 and about to serve in the 2nd set

These are all the top player in the world! Coco doesn't seem to have a life outside of tennis! She's on TV everyday; singles/doubles/interviews!

Well in today's match Coco just had no confidence in her game at all, that FH is now a big concern 29 UFE on that wing alone, she had 30 UFE in the 1st set, she didnt seem to have any answers at all against Daria,
To correct her technical issues for starters, she needs a proper coach, in today's match it was soo apparent, I know I have been sounding like a broken record on this? I hope her parents realize this, hopefully in 2023 we will see Coco with a new coach, she is a good athlete, good volleys skills, area's in her game need correction and attention ASAP.
Coco and Jess will play the No 1 doubles team tomorrow
