ATP 250 WTA 250 's-Hertogenbosch 6/10 - 6/16 2024

[Oploskoffie]

I'm currently having a minor flashback to 2018 when I got weekend tickets and was expecting/hoping to see CoCo Vandeweghe and/or Kiki Bertens in the final and we got Krunic and Flipkens instead. A fun final, though, and Krunic probably had the week of her life, looking she was born to play on grass. Don't think history will repeat itself, but it's good to see her give Pegula a bit of a test at least.

Wasn't expecting the win

You're destined to be a Krunic fan.

You're destined to be a Krunic fan.

I probably am. She has a new Instagram follower as of today

I'm surprised that nobody commented on Andreescu-Osaka. Quite a juicy match-up it was

Forgot to comment as I was watching (from home, mind you...) Overall a pretty good match, though some of Andreescu's "knee bending" shots were a little scary to see

Yes, worthy of a major final . 5 major titles between them ..people on this forum don't think much of Andreescu for some (unfathomable) reason...

[jazzyg]

I thought Andreescu was going to be one of the all-time greats when she went on her run in 2019.

Obviously that did not happen, but I would love to see what she can do if she can just stay healthy for any length of time.

[Suliso]

Andreescu would still be in the top 10 at the very least if not the never ending injuries and perhaps also loss of motivation.

[ponchi101]

We thought a lot of Andreescu for quite a while. But when you have been off the map for a couple of years, kind of hard to think much about you.

[Suliso]

Yes, but still only 23.

[Oploskoffie]

Seeing as how Andreescu is our topic du jour, here's a link to a nice little interview from the tournament website:

[Oploskoffie]

The Samsonova - Alexandrova match is a weird one to watch. The latter was (almost?) constantly unhappy, apparently also in some physical discomfort, especially during the second set and looking like she'd rather be anywhere else. Yet she kept winning points and Samsonova kept losing certain points and games she shouldn't have. So now, possibly to the surprise of many watching, we're into a third set tomorrow. Didn't see it coming.

[ashkor87]

Yes, but still only 23.

Exactly!
