a double DEI american finalist smh

Alcaraz is spraying unforced errors all over the place.  He needs to wake the H up. 

[MuggsyB]

Huge probs for Carlos.  Very upsetting.

Huge probs for Carlos.  Very upsetting. 

Not as upsetting as the women's final

[MuggsyB]

This is absolutely brutal.  Horrible serving, volleying, and shot selection thus far.  Looks like a 100th ranked player in the world.  Beyond upsetting and inexplicable.  WAKE UP CARLOS!!

Vamos!!!

Lotta parents growing up playing when i was playing juniors needed to hear this

[Shaka Shart]

This match rules. I am generating zero shareholder value at work right now.

The top 4 players in the world will face off tomorrow and Sunday.  This should be a real treat.  Thankfully Carlos woke up after reading about my concerns during the 1st set. He cannot have any lapses vs Sinner.  My take is Alcaraz when in full medieval mode is unbeatable, but Sinner is more consistent.  Jannik has also increased his pulverocity on his shots and is an underrated mover. 

As for Gauff/Sabalenka?  Gauff in the simplest terms must tell herself she's a human backboard.  Make Sabalenka hit 8, 9, 10, etc, shots during the rallies.  Coco's 2nd serve is obviously pivotal as well.  However, on the dirt, I believe Coco can frustrate Aryna.  My hope is that Gauff irritates her successfully and then starts banging winners all over the place.

If she was banging winners that means she's beating Gauff

[MuggsyB]

Focus Coco.  This is your time!  Don't let Anya intimidate you with her obnoxious grunting.  LFG!

[MuggsyB]

Very slow start. Coco must figure this out quickly.  Going toe to toe with Sabalenka seems like a bad decision.  Mix in some variety.  And she must find her forehand.  Immediately.

[MuggsyB]

Let's go now!

[MuggsyB]

Dammit!  Coco still with severe issues on her 2nd serve.  This must be cleaned up.  It's killing her.  Get a competent coach and fix this.

[MuggsyB]

Cmon Coco.  FOCUS!!!   Let's go now!!

[MuggsyB]

That's it.  Now drop the freaking 🔨.  Mercilessly. 

[MuggsyB]

Hit the ball!!  Stop spinning it in. 

[MuggsyB]

YESSSS!!!

[MuggsyB]

Sabalenka with a classless speech.  With a few more improvements, I expect Coco to bludgeon her in the years to come. 

[Uncle Rico]

Not happy

[MuggsyB]

Not happy

Sabalenka is a baby Rico.  Period.  During the match, she loses a point and acts like the world is against her.  Her grunts are also fking ridiculous. They are all over the place and vary in decibel level.  Coco followed the correct strategy despite a few hiccups.  Make her play 6, 7, 8, or more ball rallies and she will collapse.  To say immediately "I played terrible" after the match and then repeat that sentiment during her speech was absurd and epitomizes colossal douchebaggery.  Zero sympathy for Sabalenka and I very much hope she's metaphorically Iron Maidenend  in future GS events. I don't care for her at all.

I don't like Coco.  Something about her rubs me the wrong way.  I miss Chris Evert.

What?  Great kid with wonderful parents.  And a great attitude on tbe court. 

Chris Evert is a terrible commentator.  Davenport is far, far, far, better.
