Re: '22 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
This is another example of why I don’t like watching Barty play. It’s nothing against her game, but her opponents seem to turn into error machines. I can’t think of many close Barty matches where both her and her opponents played their best level

I wonder if it's Barty's slice which generates a large proportion of those errors.

It could be, and with not many WTA players reaching the latter parts of big tournaments on a regular basis, it’s like the women are not playing her often enough to figure out how to handle her game. But full credit to Barty, as I’ve said before I think she’s great for the sport

Re: '22 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
well...those were 2 pretty straightforward and unexpectedly easy semis.
and I don't like the back of Swiatek's top...the cape or flap or whatever.

Re: '22 AO Day 11 OoP & Discussion
When I first got into tennis in the 90s, the AO was notorious for boring one sided womens matches, especially the finals. Hope Barty and Collins can carry over todays form into the final and give us a good match to watch

It's better than the shirt that likely inspired it, though ...texasniteowl wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 11:31 am well...those were 2 pretty straightforward and unexpectedly easy semis.
