I will not say there is no way she will repeat last year's Finals run because I am not in the mood for crow, but it seems very difficult. If after that Rome title she was not able to do well at RG, at Wimbledon it will be even more difficult.

She's 7th in the WTA Race, and I think her ranking after Wimbledon will probably reflect that ranking rather than her current live ranking of 4th.

The kindest way to describe Cori's play today is listless.

[mick1303]

Jabeur frequently is referred to as "magician". But to my eyes Vondrousova is every bit as crafty and has at least the same elite anticipation. But her game seems more purposeful.

[ponchi101]

The "magician" label gets pegged on you the moment you hit a few drop shots. Jabeur had a bit more than just that.
No longer, it seems (I can't see the matches) but she got tagged that way.

[jazzyg]

Jabeur has made three slam finals and Vondrousova has made one, when yes, she did beat an out-of-form, nervous Jabeur. She does have a lot of game, is very crafty and has a beautiful drop shot, but her overall career accomplishments and her personality do not match Jabeur's. If she starts winning again--and this tournament is a good start--she will get the recognition, but never the support of Jabeur.

[mick1303]

MV made two GS finals rather than one. And more important - she won one of them. This immediately puts her in the different tier. It is not like we're comparing Zverev with some random one-slam wonder like Tomas Johansson or Raducanu, who didn't achieve anything outside the single Slam run.

[jazzyg]

You are right. I was confusing Vondrousova at that RG with Anisimova, which is funny because Anisim9va is nowhere near as creative.

In case you missed it, Rybakina had a handful of consecutive match points in the third set tiebreaker... At which point Sabalenka reeled off 5 points in a row to win the match. Hard to watch, especially with everything that been going on off the court for Elena.

I saw the tiebreak in the third set and honestly was floored that Rybakina seemed to vanish mentally. Weird.
