Very funny. He's not in good enough shape to win B5 even when he's serving lights out. He also walked away from a serve return - I think in Daniil's last service game. Was down 40-love and didn't even try. That effort won't cut it against the Top 50. And even if he's right, so what? He doesn't actually do it. He's all talk.

He might win his annual fiesta title in Acapulco, but whatever. He's irrelevant to the ATP.

A shame she's out because she gets specialized designs, so doubtful anyone else has it. The rest have been a combo of trainwrecks to the point where I think someone should be getting fired (Ostapenko's day-glo being a clear firable offense).

Nike - I've figured out that the two piece kits are better than the full tennis dresses to me, more flattering cut on the women. The only tennis dress I like is the one Maddie had on in her second round match, it was a different combo than most of the others, which I think I said before, look awkward.

Okay, no one at Adidas needs to be fired, looks like Adidas dropped her, so this is a different company's mistake.

High-waisted shorts and jeans have been in style for a few years. My guess is this is why she’s wearing a high-waisted skirt. She has worn one the last couple of years - so much that her booty peeked out a bit - but it was a straight skirt, not a flouncy one. I actually liked the peekaboo on her. It fit her body type. This year’s outfit… did not. But if she liked it and was comfortable, all that matters.

Keys highest ranking is 7, so they are not far apart on that department. And Maddie is not a test to gauge how good you are. She can melt, remember that.

It is just that Badosa is new to the top echelon, Keys has been there many years..If Badosa wins, it may mean she belongs at the top..if she loses, it may not mean much - Keys has beaten good players like Halep and Ivanovic in big tournaments...

Kenin is not with Fila anymore. I'd attribute the difference in fit and style to that and not much else. The new company she signed with, Free People or FP Movement, they are not known for tennis gear (understatement). Based on their brand, they will likely be trying to go trendier I'm guessing it's going to take a few tries to get it right, though high-waist stuff is really an expired trend (high rise is not though). I personally think this was a miss based on fit, what they were going for was fine, the execution was just off as it was not as flattering as it should've been on her, it bunched awkwardly and the cut of the torso appeared to be a bit off. But the style was consistent with their brand, so they might have been thrilled with it.
