Kolek planning to go pro
Until Djoker passes him
Extremely disappointing performance by Gauff. Tactically she was given poor advice against a player who loves pace.
Gauff was fine. Ostapenko, was better. Sometimes you have to tip your cap. Penko is a streaky player who is as good as anyone when she's on a good one. Top 15 world player right now. 30 winners. Missed opportunities converting 1 of 8 on break points for Gauff through the beginning of the 2nd. Gotta serve at a higher percentage on frst serves in the 2nd. Margins were small. Gauff won 16 straight sets prior to that.
Of course she's fine but I disagree with your take on the match. You have to move a player like Ostapenko around the court and change pace. Especially when she was feeling it like last night. There was no tactical game plan from Gauff (or her camp) and therefore she got blown off the court. She was also getting thumped on her 2nd serve the final set plus. It was a very poor match strategically and quite disappointing imo.
I appears the Djoker is just gonna roll dudes in Melbourne on his way to another Aussie title.
As of today, 10 of the ATP World Top 50 Singles players are from ‘Merica.9 of the them are age 25 or younger. 2 of them might face one another in the AO Singles semifinals.
Can't believe you're talking about Djoker without giving credit to Penko. And Mackie.
Two Americans can’t face one another in the semi finals. Shelton/Paul are on one side, Korda is on the other side.
Elena Rybakina is the first player since 2001 to defeat 3 former grand slam singles champions (Swiatek, Ostapenko, Azarenka) in the same Australian Open. In 2001, Capriati defeated Hingis, Seles, Davenport).Rybakina had 53% (!!!) of her tourney first serves not returned prior to the semis. Rybakina will be ranked in the World top 10 next week despite getting ZERO points for winning 2022 Wimbledon. Self described “Boring Tiger” Aryna Sabalenka has won 20 straight sets to start 2023. Big serves, big hitting, lots of movement from both.
The Brooks Koepka of Women's Tennis but not an a-hole? Didn't Rybanika struggle after Wimbledon?
Nice effort by Paul.Djokovic is Djokovic. Nuff said.Spasibo.
Does Tsistsy have even a puncher's chance?
I haven't seen any of his matches. Obviously, he must be playing well. Having said all that, and then multiplying it times the hypotenuse of a triangle ...No.
