It was a long match with a lot of long rallies, and lots of missed opportunities for Gauff to attack. I'm talking about the 8-10 balls she would rally back down the middle before she managed to hit those 32 winners (which is about 1 per game of this match, decent but not crazy good). An opponent with more offense will attack those balls. Maybe it was a strategy to not attack and make Svitolina play offense. I think Gauff will contend for the AO title but I still think she should be more aggressive.JTContinental wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2024 7:15 pm If Gauff can “passively” hit 32 winners against all of her opponents like she did against Svitolina, she’ll be in pretty good shape to contend for the title at AO
......Ms. Rybakina requests that you keep your filthy opinions to yourself.
Court speed is a factor too..faster courts will produce more winnersmeganfernandez wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2024 9:34 pmIt was a long match with a lot of long rallies, and lots of missed opportunities for Gauff to attack.

Sabalenka hit 51 winners vs Rybakina in her AO win last year. Rybanka hit 19 winners in her final in half the time of the Gauff-Svitolina final.
BTW, this is crazy - Gauff hit only 13 winners to beat Sabalenka in the US Open. Sabalenka only hit 25 winners herself. That's over three sets! Both players made nearly twice as many errors as winners.
That's a tough break for Osaka..she can't get past Garcia right now..Fastbackss wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 2:37 am Christ - I think the women's draw was rigged.
Iga gets Kenin. If she wins gets Collins or Kerber
Osaka vs Garcia
Rybakina vs Pliskova
