I love to watch Paolini and Muchova move on the court..they just seen to float..always get in position for the next shot ..there are others like Gauff, swiatek who are as quick or even quicker but you can see the effort ..with Paolini and Muchova, you don't even see them scramble! I always loved Rybarikova, on grass - she floated like a wraith.
Alcaraz does that too..again, there are players as quick, like Paul and DeMinaur but Alcaraz seems so effortless, it is a joy to behold .

You missed the easy volley way after the kid had returned to his position.
Uhm... I don't know.

Regular people will be priced out going forward.
I think calling it a three-week tournament is anticipating this. Instead of "Let them eat cake", it's "Let them watch the Qualies"....or in their new parlance, "The first week".

Don't know what to call her. Her style of game was so pretty that one feels inclined to say she underachieved.
But, I won't miss her.

She said herself that she was subject to panic attacks that rendered her unable to function...sad, i dont understand it but perhaps other people here do .?

In my head I was thinking she had already announced this at end of last year.

I guess that after you lose your match in the third set TB, it must be easy to drown your sorrows in the lounge by the end of the pier.
