That was just disgraceful 18 DFs from the No 2 player in the world,I just cringed every time she served

18 double faults?! That’s crazy. It almost seems as if it would take a deliberate effort to get that many.

She isn’t going to recover in the next match.. It’s in her head

Sabalenka to me has never had a B game,when her A game is not working,she can also be a UFE machine,she needs to apply 'controlled aggression'.

A very impressive win from the defending champion Iga Swiatek over Leylah Fernandez winning 61 62
Iga had 30 Winners and 8 UFE today in her match at the Adelaide International.

Another top seed bites the dust at the Adelaide International,
Shelby Rogers defeated Maria Sakkari (3) 76(5) 26 64

Sakkari is a headcase like her male compatriot

Halep vs Golubic is really an entertaining match. Spectacular shot making by both ladies.

Halep has been struggling a bit with her back,good match since the 2nd set

Sabalenka is the person I need Madison to play in a grand Slam final. Either Kvitová or Sabalenka are the type of players even Maddie should be able to overcome.

If Maddy can keep the ball in play....

I am tuning into Barty v Kenin in Adelaide.....fun match

 

[the AntiPusher]

If Maddy can keep the ball in play....

that's my point.. these two headcases can give Maddie the confidence to succeed regardless of her brainless UFEs.

Ash Barty served 17 Aces in her QF match against Sofia Kenin,defeating Kenin 63 64.Ash has also improved her 2nd serve,which to me has more 'pop' on it...won 31/32 serve points won.Good to see Kenin back competing after injury last year,than contracting COVID.

I really hope Serena gets her act together this year. Ash playing like this would make a beauty of a battle vs Serena. On,y person I think can raise her game this high is Naomi.

I think most people would like to see Serena return to the tour...hopefully Naomi can play the whole tour this year,she has a great game,her mental problems,hopefully are behind her,she can enjoy playing tennis again.
