Oso planning to go pro
Coco lost today. Extremely disappointing.
Gauff played at a win the tourney level for much of that match. It shows that you can do that and still lose in round 1. Credit to Kenin, played her best match in years. Extremely high level.
Kenin - when fully healthy - is the better tennis player.Coco needs to fix her forehand id she ever wants to a serious threat.
Coco is 19, she’ll be just fine.
The WSJ had an article today about how grass doesn't play anything like it used to. Essentially it's as slow or slower than a mid paced hardcourt according to the author. I'm not sure exactly when this changed, maybe the technology made it Speedy Gonzalez fast, but back in the day the change from clay at the French to the grass at Wimbledon was drastic. Players had to play a tune-up to get used to the speed difference. It does make be think that we may need to analyze Borg's stretch of 6 French and 5 Wimbledon titles differently.
Last month, Chris Eubanks lost in the 2nd round of the Surbiton, England Challenger.8 matches later. He is the Mallorca Grass Court Champion, and, he is in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon. Free Giraffe.
His nickname is the Giraffe??
High quality tennis right now between Bencic/Swiatek.
Thousands of dopes in the crowd booed Azarenka for not shaking hands … when it was Svitolina who said she wouldn’t shake hands with any players from Belarus. Dopes.
Hurkacz is dangerous. Djokovic does not look happy but is fortunate that he won the 1st two sets in tiebreakers. Hopefully this goes 5.
Hurkasc is a one trick pony. He was only ‘in the match’ because of an ungodly 1st serve percentage.
