ATP M1000 WTA 1000 Madrid 4/23 - 5/5 2024

[skatingfan]

Djokovic has withdrawn

Ok, I see it is listed above. But a bit of a shocker...

He's only played Madrid once in the previous 3 years - if he withdraws from Rome that could be significant.

[ashkor87]

The guardian reports Pliskova has withdrawn..which is good news for Raducanu

[ashkor87]

Pliskova is the kind of player who should have done well here. ?
Assuming the ball is quick through the air and slow off the ground, does it hurt volleyers or help them? I would think it hurts..people can pass you more easily and they get time off the ground...but I also note Kvitova has won this title 3 times, and she is certainly a volleyer..what do you think?

[ashkor87]

If the ball is quick through the air and slow off the ground, it should be good for big servers (3 time champion Kvitova)..since on a serve the ball beats the receiver more in the air than off the ground ..can't decide about the volley, though. Will have to watch ..Rybakina, Sabalenka, should do better than Swiatek, Kasatkina, etc.

[ashkor87]

Saba is not my idea of a deep thinker so I wouldn't pay much heed to her .if Petkovic said it, I would ..
And it isn't about strategy ..there is nothing you can actually do about it...simply a force to reckon with
