Talk About Tennis 2.0

Sabalenka 2024 does on the vast majority of players. I don't think she is erratic anymore. Had some extenuating circumstances last year, then steadied and settled and showed her dominance. A few people got her at the end of the year, and those were great wins. No losses isn't realistic. I think she has distanced herself from everyone except Iga, and she had the edge on her off clay. I hope she keeps it up in 2025. Her A game is better than anyone else's right now, except Rybakina's A+ game.

Agree, but I would still bet on Coco to beat her on a fast court..hoping to see Saba win Wimbledon this year...

Yes, sad ..smooth, lovely player..was not going to win the title but twice QF..she can't handle the heat anyway so would have struggled physically anyway ..I wonder also about people like Tauson and Ruud ..I find Americans, especially from Florida, surprisingly good at it ..Tiafoe, Coco, Osaka, Keys, Collins..they will all master the conditions well.

Nice colors

New Balance wins again.

They are making some very nice stuff.
And their quality has always been excellent.

I'll take that bet.

Is she flipping off Bajin already?

Alexandrova looks. Listless..heat ?

I don't think she's converted any of the bp's she's had?
