This is the most bizarre R16 lineup I can think of in recent memory

That was a shocker! Still can't believe it! Noskova is very young, so great to see!

Yes, true. But Sabalenka and Coco will restore order, I expectJTContinental wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 10:38 am This is the most bizarre R16 lineup I can think of in recent memory

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
Now we should expect Svitolina and QZ to emerge from the top half, along with Saba and Coco in the bottom half ..that would not be bizarre, on the whole..?

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
I suppose, but would you bet any money on that? Also why Svitolina over Azarenka?

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
good question.. yes, Vika could be there instead of Svitolina..50-50,, Svitolina played really well in Auckland, Vika is a two-time champion.

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
I think Sabalenka - she was my pick fromSuliso wrote:You guys were right about Swiatek not being in a Slam winning form right now.
I suppose Sabalenka is a big favorite now. Or maybe Gauff?
the start - but Gauff might have her number mentally. I’m very curious to see if Anisimova can beat Sabalenka, too.
I’m out counting out Svitolina! But I think it’s Sabalenka’s to lose.

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
I am still betting on Coco to win the title
Logic is- Coco best Saba at the USO, conditions here are a bit faster, should suit Coco better..so why can't she do it again,,,?! To say that two in a row is not possible, I consider to be mere superstition..

It is possible, it just doesn't happen very often.

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
We keep making the same mistake.
Rybakina was out in R2. Iga in R3. Why keep assuming that any of the top seeds is truly that much better than the field? That they are locked in for a title?
The parity is extreme. If Aryna wins, sure, why not? Coco? The same. But if they lose in the next round, by now we should not be surprised one bit.

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
It can happen again if Coco has a mental edge on Sabalenka. I’d put it at 60/40 for Coco if they play. But Sabalenka has good memories from this court, obviously plays well on it, will learn from the US Open loss, etc. She is a competitor and a champion - I’d expect her to rise to the occasion. And she should have won in New York. She is just better than Coco, IMO, if she handles the pressure,ashkor87 wrote:I am still betting on Coco to win the title

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 7 Order of Play & Discussion
I never thought either of them was going to win. Rybakina is inconsistent, Iga is beatable off clay and hasn’t been in her fiercest form this month.ponchi101 wrote:We keep making the same mistake.

I won’t be shocked if Sabalenka loses to Anisimova or a nothing-to-lose Andreeva if Sabalenka caves to the pressure. But those two are more consistent t right now. Wasn't Iga
/ FH going odd vs Noskova?

Tennis is not a random game like golf..the better player usually wins ..on this forum, at least, we are merely saying who the better player is....ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 3:21 pm We keep making the same mistake.
