Navarro is almost just a hitting partner.

Navarro is almost just a hitting partner.

Which I would love to be

[ponchi101]

I think Andreeva is almost ready to win a Slam. Talking about rich girls Pegula's game is far superior.

What is she missing by now? I believe you put in the rankings topic that she will get to #4 with these results. That makes her a top player, and she has all the strokes. She was hitting serves at 118 MPH today, which makes her serve as good as Sabalenka's.
So, what is missing? Not putting you on, just that I don't see anything else that she needs.

[Suliso]

Experience in the latter stages of the Slam, stability etc. Maybe nothing and she wins this week.

On the other hand her opponents haven't been top class so far

She still has flashes of immaturity, though those have been fading with time.

At which point in what is not my conversation I can drop the following link which just so happens to be about Mirra (and Conchita):

Seems like Sinner is going down today. His weakest surface sure, but still highly unexpected particularly to a veteran player.

[JTContinental]

Andreeva still has a lot to learn about shot selection

He fell and seems to have hurt his elbow. Still, everything you say.

[ponchi101]

I am starting to get that feeling that Iga is going to make a lot of people eat crow in a few days.

[Oploskoffie]

This looking really cruel for Grigor...

[Suliso]

What happened?

[Oploskoffie]

What happened?

Damaged/hurt something while serving. Pectoral muscle?

[atlpam]

What happened?

Pec injury - looked like he was in serious pain. So sad as he was playing such a beautiful match.
