Watching Tiafoe..I really fear for his arm in the long run ..his forehand is the ugliest I have ever seen, because it relies on sheer strength...not sustainable...

It is the same FH as Khachanov's. And that has been sustained.
Also: wrong topic

You should check out Jessika Ponchet.

Full Day 8 Schedule including juniors

Given that Swiatek may polish off Samsonova in an hour, I hope to see a bit of Sinner-Paul before my day starts...it should be a good match, though the result is not much in doubt...of course S will win but the tennis will be high quality

i take it as a sign that players dont necessarily understand their own games very well.. Samsonova needs a slower court, not a faster one - she isnt quick enough to survive on a really fast court, but has enough power that she doesnt need help from the court. But she thinks she is better on a fast court. I dont think she will last long here, am a bit surprised she has come this far.

Statistically, she has a better record on grass and hardcourt than clay.

slow hard courts, yes.

If you watch carefully, you can see Muchova tucking in a ball in her skirt.

Muchova Paolini not a very high quality match thus far..first set..double digit ufes from both

The crowd is firmly behind Jasmine but I don't think today is her day. Muchova 6-3, 5-3 with Paolini serving to stay in the match.

Pegula quietly sliding through the draw—she’s my dark horse pick to win

LOL, AND there shall be no 4-peat for Rajeev and Joe.

Cannot WAIT to get to the Open this Wednesday, so I can watch players from the range of I like+ them, to I am meh, to I cannot stand them.





OF course, I do love Taylor. IF she can at least win one or both of her doubles and mixed doubles matches in the next two days, I should be able to see her.
