'26 AO Day 2 OoP & Discussion

I think it is more that the other players are believing. They are walking off the court thinking "I had a chance", not "I got lucky I was not clobbered".
But we are talking a lot about the decline of a player that is still ranked #2. That is not trivial.

I haven't seen Iga play for a few years, and based on being at RLA and watching her last night she does not seem like a nearly world number 1 player. Her game seems to have regressed to hit the ball hard as early as I can, go for the angles and don't actually move much at all. Djokovic coming on after was a clinical contrast

Her game has become pretty one dimensional with no back up plan if the shots aren't going in.

No. But when a player gets bageled and then comes back to win in two relatively easy sets, it looks good.
Eala's Miami (it was Miami, right?) seems like a long time ago.

I think the highly biased crowd rattled Parks initially

A pleasant breeze can rattle Parks, she's a hothead.
