Prove that it is HER, not the coach? Alright, I can go with that.ti-amie wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 12:10 am ...There's been a bit of churn in her team and it happened right after what some would consider the best run of her career. It's not clear who her coach is now - it may be her father again - but we talked about it in the Coaching Merry-go-Round thread.Why specifically Garcia?

Sabalenka is doing her Jekyll & Hyde again...
She beat herself in the 1st set (2-6). and was down 0-3 in the 2nd.
Then she won 4 straight games, as Sakkari is also doing a Jekyll & Hyde thing...
4-4, 2nd set...

... and Sakkari and Sabalenka combine to beat Sabalenka 6-2, 6-4...
Sakkari is now through to the semi-finals.

Re: WTA YEC Fort Worth 10/31 - 11/7 2022
Ah, ok, was just wondering what the rationale was ..
In ' the most to prove' I would say Sakkari and Sabalenka...Sakkari to prove she belongs at this level, Sabalenka to prove she can win a big one ..we shall see but Sakkari is certainly doing well.

Re: WTA YEC Fort Worth 10/31 - 11/7 2022
Sakkari and Sabalenka have made it to back to back WTA Finals. I don't think either of them have to prove that they belong at this level. It takes quite a level of consistent play to do that.
WTA Finals is great and the competition is elite, but in terms of the "big one" I don't think anyone who hangs it over any player's head is going to count this as if it's a Grand Slam. Unless there's been some shift in like the last year, I don't recall many acting like Aga, Domi, or Elina won a Slam. it's exceptional in terms of prize money and it gives you a lot more leeway in tournament entry in the future, but the public doesn't seem to view it as if it's on the same level as a Grand Slam. I saw more than a few here and elsewhere saying Elina didn't have what it takes to win a Slam just months after she won the WTA Finals and that kept up consistently in the following years.

It is placed below the Slams, and a bit over the 1000's. Other than that, I say it is regarded properly. I don't think anybody would trade a WTA Finals for any of the slams.

I think Sabalenka more than Sakkari, but just in general, not at this event. It's incredible Sabalenka even qualified considering the state of her game in January. I think she is playing with 2022 house money this week.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 2:54 amAh, ok, was just wondering what the rationale was ..

I'm not sure anyone is playing with any pressure... or more than normal. Maybe Ons since she came so close to a big prize this year and has been vocal about her #1 aspirations. I thought maybe Pegula since she's coming off her biggest title. She's been flat, though. She has played a lot of tennis this year, might be showing.
