If I am remembering this correctly- I believe that they are going to be considerably limiting their doubles schedule. But, I also am assuming that they want to play the Olympics together. So, they'll probably play some more through the year- maybe at Slams? Playing together at Roland Garros would, of course, make sense.

by ashkor87 I heard Gauff and Pegula have withdrawn...I keep thinking JPeg was unwell..
by ashkor87 The magician Hsieh is still there..never seen any player, male or female, with that kind of touch. .probably our last chance to see her
by ashkor87 Krejcikova and Siniakova face each other in the next round. I look forward to that! Wonder what the equation is between them nowadays..
by ashkor87 Siniakova & partner bt Krejcikova& partner..I must admit I am faintly Unhappy..siniakova instigated the break-up I hear so...
by ashkor87 Rohan Bopanna is now #1 in the world! great achievement! (though I dont want to take rankings too seriously!)
by jazzyg I am happy Krejcikova and Siegemund lost because I believe that gives Hsieh an easier path to the final.
I was crushed to see Hsieh has retired from singles, but I still love watching her play doubles.

The other wrinkle was that Siniakova partnered with Hunter, who lost to Krejcikova in singles a heartbreaker.
by meganfernandez Hunters and Siniakova were up 4-0, 40-15 in the first set vs Mertens/Hsieh and lost it 7-5. Siniakova’s serve is hard to watch. She barely bends her knees. And she had the absolute worst attitude as they were struggling.

TBH, I think it truly turned into a great match in the third set. There, of course, was plenty of great play in the first two sets. But, it was like the teams took separate turns playing great until that third set. Of all things, it felt more like Mertens had kept them alive for the first two sets. Hsieh, very understandably, looked tired, was not moving as well, and was a tad off her game the first two sets, at least by her standards. THEN- in the third set, slowly but surely, Hsieh the Magician woke up. The third set was absolutely outstanding from all of the players. Both teams saved multiple break points- 'twas nerve-wracking. THEN- the insane two shots that Hsieh hit that finally got them the break for Mertens to serve for the match....the insane shot Hsieh hit to save a break point- and then the INSANE!!!! shot that Mertens hit at their match point....Just incredible to watch. Hsieh has never won a title at the Aussie- and had never even made a Slam mixed final. Get those two titles Hsieh!!!!
TRUST me. If you ever get the chance to see Hsieh play live- do so. Seeing her in person (most recently, I got to see her and Wang Xinyu beat Gauff and Pegula last year in the US Open QF) makes it all the more impressive to watch the shots she can make.

I have seen her practice but not play! Would love to sometime. Yeah, it was see-saw till the third set, then they all played well at the same time. And it was fantastic! So glad Hsieh finally woke up! And the way Mertens finished it... So good. I felt bad for Hunter, in front of her home crowd. Not so much Siniakova, the way she was acting in the first set.
by jazzyg There's nothing I enjoy more in tennis than watching Hsieh play doubles, but I did not get that chance because I was watching the men's semi with Koepfer, the only player on tour I actually know personally. HIs match went to a third-set tiebreak, and his partner, Hanfmann, hit one of the most incredible volleys in the history of tennis to keep them from facing a match point at 4-5 in the third set. You have to google and watch his behind-the-back beauty and Koepfer's follow-up to win the point.
Alas, it wasn't enough. They were a makeshift team playing an experienced doubles team and it came through in the deciding tiebreak. Heck of an effort getting to the semis having not played together since 2021 and really not concentrating on doubles at all. Koepfer has a ton of talent but is combustive. He lost his cool when Vavasorri framed a volley for a winner on a crucial point and said something that rubbed Vavassori the wrong way. Koepfer, who had been the better of his tandem to that point, did not play as well in the final few games.
All that said, I guarantee the women's match was more exciting. Too many men's doubles points are settled by the serve.
EDIT: originally I posted "mish.t" and it was tagged as an expletive because of the final four letters. Funny.

LOL, I have seen Siniakova behave far more Drama Queen Petulantly so many times, her behavior in the first set barely registered for me.

I really did want to watch this match, too. I especially love watching all Slam doubles SF and F matches. I got to see much of the Bopanna/Ebden win. But, I couldn't tear myself away to watch any of this other men's doubles match- Hsieh cannot be denied. In both cases with the men's doubles SF matches, I was kind-of rooting for the teams that lost. For some reason, except when it comes to Rajeev/Joe matches- I love seeing out-of-nowhere doubles teams do well at the Slams. OF course, gotta be especially happy for Oldest No. 1 in the Modern Era Bopanna's win- especially with the class he showed during the 2023 US Open final.
by Irena2 Great to see the win for Hsieh and Zielinski in the mixed!
by jazzyg They were down a break in both sets but ended up coming back in both even though they lost the tiebreak in the first set.
In the third set tiebreak, Hsieh failed to put away an easy overhead. Skupski chased it down near the wall, sent a high lob deep and his team eventually won the point, changing the momentum after Hsieh and her partner were up 6-2. Hsieh and her partner then saved a match point at 8-9 and won three points in a row for the title.
by jazzyg First slam final for Ostapenko.
What a contrast it will be with Hsieh on one side of the net and Ostapenko on the other.

by ashkor87 Bopanna became the oldest major champion today, at 43...not first time though, he had won earlier with Dabrowski in mixed...
by ashkor87 Re the list of junior champions, the boys list looks more impressive than the girls!! Is that normal? Maybe if the girls are that good, they play directly with the seniors?
by Suliso Usually it's the other way around... Maybe AO effect?
by Suliso By the way it was the higher ranked players who won both junior singles titles.
by jazzyg I am very happy Hsieh won, but that was a pretty poor doubles final. A mismatch that easily could have been 6-1, 6-2 if Ostapenko and Kichenok had not saved nine game points in the first two games of the second set.
I've always been fascinated by Ostapenko's relative doubles success, but this was the first time I ever saw her play doubles. She made far too many errors on returns and had no instincts at the net. Only on occasion did her power and ability to hit angles help her team.
by ashkor87 Agree with you..Osta is not a natural..doubles..

She made so many errors… off second-serve returns even. Very poor.
I loved watching Kichenok run back and forth at the net, to no avail, trying desperately to pick off something. No match for Mertens and Hsieh keeping the ball away from her, and no help from her partner setting her up. It was like a video game.
