Kolek planning to go pro
Ha! I didn't realize that! Great observation Billy.
A quality match despite Leylah not serving well. Radacanu's pop down the line is very impressive. Both of them brought it and are a pleasure to watch. I wasn't impressed by Fowler or Evert during the match. Lots of nonsensical comments.
Chris Evertt, Chris Fowler, the Mcenroe's, basically all of them need to be sent to the old folks home and a new generation needs to be brought in.
What really irritates me is Fowler literally "analyzes" each point. Then he makes wild assumptions about how the match will go and each of their strategies based on the result of one freaking point. It's absurd. For example: a player drop shots, it's not placed particularly well, and loses the point. He'll mmediately utter something asinine like "that's not a good decision with the speed of so and so." And Evert isn't much better. Projecting all sorts of nonsense about players' fatigue, nerves, their families, future success., etc, etc, etc. Half the time or more I wanted them to stfu frankly and compliment the greatness of these young women.I think you're right. It's time for some new blood behind the booth.
Spot on, especially about Everett.
I didn't remember thinking, "Fowler and Evert are bad," and so I guess I didn't really notice. I'll take your word for it.What I'll be interested in seeing is how good these young players get from here. When Ostapenko won the French a few years ago, I thought she had the game to really have a nice career, and she might, but she has been a disappointment since then.Fernandez needs a bigger, more consistent serve, among other things. Raducanu looks like she has a very nice all-around game, but I've only seen this match and about a half-hour of her other matches combined, so I don't know. Tennis can always use an infusion of young talent, so I hope they have game for the long-term.
What do you think will be a bigger issue in their futures? Their continued skill development ( I think Emma has the chance to be a top 5 player) or the outside pressures that neither have had to face before they became “name” players?
Perfect match thus far for Medvedev. Pretty incredible out of him.
Just like Moses Malone predicted.
Huh?
