If only Monfils did not waste all those years on clowning... He does not have any weaknesses in his game - neither technical nor physical. Only one but a major one - mentality.

Today chatgpt says Sonego and Paolini. I really wonder why it is so confident Paolini can beat Svitolina. I am not, for sure!

Does Svitolina's win take the AI out of the contest?

I believe Koenig said tonight that he should have at minimum one Slam. All that time wasted.

Yes, women's anyway. It has picked Sonego so still alive on the men's..

High on the list of underachievers. 100% with you.

He was so dominant in the junior ranks that I thought he would be a major player at grand slams, and he hasn't even been to a final.

Today (day 8) chatGPT picks Djokovic. It lost yesterday on the women's side by picking Paolini

Saba has been complaining repeatedly about how slow the conditions are, said she didn't see any point in going big on serve because there is no reward for it. Pegula apparently said it felt like s clay court match
It may be the balls, but whatever it is, conditions are slower than last year. Will help Swiatek...will certainly make it harder for Andreeva to do much against Sabalenka today

It's also been unseasonably cool during the first week - weather more like the second week of the US Open than what we would normally expect in Australia.

The fact that Pavlyuchenkova beat Vekic 6-0 and that Keys is doing so well, I take to be evidence that the conditions (court, balls, air) are on the slow side

[ashkor87]

Can Navarro beat Kasatkina tomorrow? First meeting, it seems. I am interested to see how Navarro stands up as my 'benchmark' - Kasatkina is the same class as Navarro, so Navaro should win..we shall see. Again, if conditions are slow and heavy, that will work in Navarro',s favor..Kasatkina is not a power player, she is quick and subtle..

[ashkor87]

ChatGPT lives on, with Djoko..will post tomorrow's pick after 530am my time

Not believing in rankings is very odd. They are very objective - you win certain round of a tournament and you get a predetermined amount of points. It's like not believing in electricity ))

Rankings would say #19 Khachanov is better than ,#42 Michelsen. My eyes tell me the opposite. We just saw what happened
This is just an example of course.

The 6-0 set was after Vekic got injured. She finished the match just because she is a professional.
She injured her right knee, the one that was operated.
