I like Sakkari a lot, and also Jabeur. I haven't watched Sorribes Torme enough to judge, but you think she has more upside than Sakkari? And Jabeur, too? It's a large statement you make on them.

that is a statement to say that SST has more upside than the young Greek goddess.. both are excellent movers on the court. I think that's where Keys is lacking. She doesnt always have the "happy feet. "

I have to say every time I have watched Sorribes Torme I have to 'mute' her....she needs to take it down a few notches,it is a complete turn off.

its like a Schiavone grunt..

Maddy has bigger problems than her feet aren't happy. Did you see that dismal display of tennis in Mexico the other day? She too needs to hire a sports psychologist. She constantly plays down to the level of her competition and she panics when her A game is not present and literally sprays every other ball

No.. Miss Margaret or yourself didnt but up the Bat Signal to let me know she was playing again. What happened to Maddy this week? @kskate2 I agree 100 percent that she needs a sports psychologist not another coach.

Madison Keys (2) lost to French Player Harmony Tan ranked 104 64 16 61....I have no words for that match after her good display at the AO earlier this year.

There's no words. Madison is a mentally flawed competitor.

Wow.. Thanks KS.. Just as you and Miss Margaret called it.. Madison played down to the level of her competition. I noticed that Maddy was pushing the ball in the 3rd set instead of hitting thru it. What a horrible performance.

do you think Ons can stop the hc Monster kontaveit.. I think it will take Ostapenko to stop kontaveit IMO

 

[Hoergren]

Another fine win for Ostapenko devastating Muguruza 6-2 6-2 - and Muguruza didn't play bad she just didn't have any weapons against the racecar.

 

[the AntiPusher]

I have IGA over Saba today

They both hit the cover off the ball and love to boss the baseline. It will be a tight contest. Konta2 has the more reliable serve. It just may be enough to give her the edge in this one.

A.Kontaveit (4) vs J.Ostapenko (15)

 

[kskate2]

Iga had all the answers today and truthfully the #1 seed didn't really have any. She looked a bit demoralized walking off the court.

Did anyone see this match? All due respect to Mugu, this match was hilarious the way Jelena hit these many winners in just two sets and less than 15 total games .This was insane . Look at these highlights.
