Hard to imagine her losing against either of those two, isn't it?

Svitolina can beat her. CAN, not "put your money on Elina" for that match.

Also Isner's reign as #1 player in USA is over and it's very unlikely he'll be seeded at the next Slam.

Correct me if I am wrong but: no American players in the top 30 of the ATP. Correct? Korda would have to win the tournament to squeak in.

Taylor Fritz will be in the top 30 most likely next week.

I think I'd pick Svitolina over Barty. I'm not good at analyzing matchups though - not sure if Ash's slice or coming in will pose a problem for Svitolina. But Svitolina is so steady and Ash hasn't played much lately, so that's why I'd pick Elina. Svitolina leads the H2H 5-1. Barty's one win came at the WTA championships in 2019 - guessing a fast court. Svitolina beat her in Miami in straights 3 years ago.

All this is true, but how come Barty beat Azarenka and Sabalenka despite not playing that much?

Sabalenka can self-destruct, so I wasn't sure if she had beaten herself in that match or not. And Vika, I'm not sure where her game is right now, so didn't know what to make of that result. Didn't see the match myself. But anyway, you were right... although Barty WON the match. She thoroughly outclassed Svitolina. Played very well.

Agassi had not won a slam yet, Sampras, Courier and Chang one each.

I've never heard of 7 of those players and one of the ones I do know, I'm not at all certain I would know of him if he wasn't a TV commentator.

The good ol' days. Amongst them, David Wheaton, the kid everybody thought would be the great American champion. Later that year, at the World Championships played in Frankfurt, which was a new event offering at the time $2MM (largest purse ever), him and Brad Gilbert would nearly come to blows in their semi-final, and had to be separated by the chair umpire. Gilbert won the match (Sampras would crush him the next day) but, at the presser after the Wheaton match, when asked why they were about to fight Gilbert deadpanned "we are playing for a a lot of money".
Wheaton agreed.
(And yes, I know they were not the good ol' days, although they were for American men's tennis)
