Talk About Tennis 2.0

Revise once more...

Krejcikova is the most likely upset in the next round..much as I like her...

That's for sure. Would it even be an upset? She almost lost to Storm Hunter...

Can we really pick a "most likely" though? I agree that she's been running on fumes and barely got past Hunter but this Aus Open has been - different?

And that's my point. Yes, I agree that Coco and Aryna are the "favorites" now. By whiskers.

Kostyuk next, the first serious opposition for Coco..that match will tell us a lot about Coco. Kostyuk is a seriously talented player in great form. If Coco can beat her comfortably, that would be very impressive..I expect her to win, but I also expect a struggle.

The experts (whom I totally respect) are comparing Andreeva with Hingis...I just don't see it..does anyone here?

Tomorrow (Monday) matches are unappetising...not one match I would care to watch...maybe Svitolina vs Noskova..
Plan to take a break from watching tennis tomorrow

She's certainly Hingis like in that she tries to construct every point because she has no real muscular shot.

There's always one day during a Slam where you go "meh". I totally understand.

Kostyuk vs Coco! Really looking forward to it ..I remember Osaka saying, after beating Kostyuk a couple years ago, it is scary how talented she is.
QZ for the finals? She is probably the youngest in that half but also the most mature...all 4 are equally talented...

Nope, Noskova is the youngest of course..

Looks like Coco vs Saba semi in the bottom half..Coco has about 70% chance against Kostyuk, Saba has 90% chance against Krejcikova (h2h is 5-1)

I'll be a lot more impressed if you correctly predict both top half SF's
