by ashkor87 nice draw for Osaka.. hard one for Sloane... Pliskova is better on clay than people think.. she is anyway slow on her feet and she is used to the surface..

by ashkor87 well,highlights dont tell you much but Osaka appeared to get frustrated as balls kept coming back, and she doesnt move that well anway on clay - she seemed a bit uncertain, and off-balance, not so much slow to the ball.. probably needs more matches.. cant see why she cant do well on clay but she doesnt.that is a fact.

by ashkor87 Sloane moving quietly into the semis ..I never know what to expect from her on clay...she is clearly a great player and has done well sometimes, on clay ...but has inexplicable losses too..
Her movement and balance on clay is exceptional...her only problem is she gets too passive, especially when she is ahead...
by ponchi101 She is not a great player; she is a very good player. And it is precisely because what you just said. She has a bunch of inexplicable losses, until you realize that she has so many they explain themselves.
She is as good a player as Ana Ivanovic. One slam, one slam final, and a very decent career. But greatness is a bit too much of a label.
by Owendonovan Agreed, Good Sloane is very good, but disappears all too often, inexplicably.
by ashkor87 I think it is partly because her game is so subtle, it is not about brute force or even clever placement...difficult to maintain such a game day after day. I wouldn't know, Sloane is the only person who knows ..

I don’t think she has been committed to maxxing out her game. Prefers to live a balanced life. She has left a lot on the table IMO. Her perogative.

Ivanovic was in two other slam finals in addition to her slam win. And two other times she lost in semis. She also won 3 Tier I events against one for Stephens. Not to mention being #1. Granted, Stephens is still active, but at this moment their careers don't quite measure up. Somewhat similar, but on the closer look - not quite. Ivanovic career win-loss percentage is 66%. Sloane's is 56%. This is a huge difference.

sometimes it's a smell test. I think Ivanovic was better and had a better career, starting with #1 in the world. Sloane got to #3 after winning the US Open. No. 1 is special. Sloane has had the longer career but Ivanovic had better results and also was simply more of a star.
Sloane could have had a better career, probably, but chose to be content not fulfilling her full potential.
by JTContinental First title for Sloane in 2+ years
by ti-amie It was fascinating watching Sloane play tennis as if she was interested in what she was doing. When Linette raised her game in the second set I figured Sloane would check out but she didn't. There are so many what-ifs regarding her career.
by ashkor87 It is a bit silly to compare Sloane with Ivanovic..just because they both one major title? Personalities, game style, are quite different . Could compare Sloane with someone like Dementieva maybe.
by ponchi101 I was comparing them in the sense of calling either one "great".
So looked for a one slam winner that had a solid career. That was the extent of my simile.

Sloane’s serve is beyond offended by this comparison
by ashkor87 true, but Sloane doesnt win points on serve either..
