Tennis Random, Random (On Court)

I always liked Kerber and really wanted her to win today, but let's not get carried away. She was not always respected by other players. There was the infamous point she won against Hantuchova once on an overruled out call that Hantuchova returned in play. Kerber, who clearly saw the ball land in, refused to cop to it when Hantuchova pleaded with her to tell the umpire.

Kerber also was incredibly ungracious to Andreescu when she lost to her twice in a row in 2019.

On Kerber


I look only at her game, not her behavior...as a player, I find a lot to learn from her.

The best service returners today
1. DeMinaur
2. Alcaraz and Djoko roughly equal
4 Tommy paul

Ignoring folks like Navone as it may be just an aberration
Women:
1.Coco
2. Swiatek
3. Andreeva

According to the atptour and wta sites...
Any surprises,? I find Tommy Paul surprising ..

What definition are they using? To me, the best returner is the one that breaks serve the most. But it could be the player that returns most first serves in.

Not sure where Katerina Siniakova stands in the history of the sport, but in the past few months she's won the French Open, Wimbledon, and the Olympics (mixed) with different partners.

A truly great doubles player.
Not hard to see that.

With the depleted field, she does deserve a WC. Somebody to put people in the stands.

And since she just made a good run at Wimbledon, putting her back on the map. Sad they didn't give her a WC but why not play qualifies and get some matches in, unless she is playing smaller events instead. Raducanu deserved a WC more than Stearns and Dolehide.

She does deserve them more than Payton Caroline, but to not consider qualifying is just such a princess move on her part.

I agree if she isn't playing smaller tournaments instead
