For our SP players, remember: just the LAST NAME of the player, unless two players with the same last name play on the same day.

She has said it. That she only plays for the money.
A career wasted (not that I think she was Slams material). but, if she played for the money, and with her looks, she could have made much more.

Apparently, Roddick has been working with Coco on her toss..I find that funny- Roddick had practically no toss at all ! You need to be very strong to serve like him, and you won't last long, either.
Sampras or Federer or Serena would be better role models for a serve..

Madison Keys had a very insightful comment on Swiatek. ..'she slides so well, like Bertens did, you can't really wrong-foot her..'
Very true, I think..it is all about movement and balance, and Iga is simply the best at it. Not foot-speed, really..it is not a sprint.

Well, maybe Roddick can get Coco to lower her toss. The higher the toss, the more precise you need to be. Roddick was one of those guys that almost hit it on the way UP.
I think his racquet helped a lot.

Don't tell me tennis players are not some of the most incredible athletes, in all of sports.
The level of eye/hand/foot coordination just can't be measured. Wow!
