Jabeur doesn't have that indefinable somethng I call 'class'..just an opinion, of course..

I read this last night and though I could just let it go, but it has really stuck in my craw. Please enlighten me on what you mean. My understanding of "class" as you are using it refers to how someone acts under pressure or in difficult situations. As far as I know, Jabeur has only ever been polite, engaging, smart, and gracious. When she lost out on qualifying for the YEC last year or the year before, in the last match of the regular season (Kontaveit, right?), she sent Kontaveit a funny message congratulating her on IG or somewhere. She has had to bear the weight of being the first African woman and the first Muslim woman to reach the upper echelons of women's tennis and unless I've missed something, she's understood that role really well. I don't remember seeing her pitching fits, breaking rackets, or walking off the court after a lost set. I know you said it's "indefinable", but by all means, do your best to define it because I'm totally lost.

Venus and Serena were also labeled as not having class at various times in their careers. A physical therapist that I was working with once said something exactly to that effect that I won't repeat here. She couldn't define it either.

Also, I would say that "class" has little or nothing to do with tennis matches. Many people thought McEnroe and Connors didn't have class and they did alright. Martina Hingis was a brat on court (see RG final against Steffi) yet she did OK as well.

Kevin

that is not what I meant by 'class'! I was talking purely about tennis ability and potential, not social behavior... unlike most people here, I do not like to comment on behavioral issues, I stay focused on tennis.. yeah, yeah, I know, someone will tell me the two are related - yes, but they are not the same.

Let us watch and see how Qinwen Zheng adapts to grass..she has the game..can she adapt is the only question..she is entered in Berlin, I believe...

She lost to Alycia Parks today in a first round match, so I don't think I'd pencil her in to go too far.

true. but she was just coming off a win at Velancia, so maybe not settled down yet. let us see..

[ti-amie]

I'm a Qinwen fan too. I was surprised to see her playing an ITF last week and coming straight to a main tour event. I hope she gets a rest period too.

Tim van Rijthoven - the surprise winner last week - got a wild card.

[ponchi101]

On the one hand: c'mon, the guy has only won a few matches on tour.
On the other: it is a thin field for WC's so, why not?

If there is a God in heaven, he will play Botic in the Final.

Too good to be true. Krajicek would present the trophy.

I think beating Medvedev 4 and 1 helps his case. If he hadn't beaten a top player, maybe not. Depending on the draw, I could see him winning a few matches. Big serve, moves well on the grass. So his title earned him 98k euro in prize money and another automatic 50k for a Wimbledon wild card (R1 loser prize money). I'm sure it will keep paying dividends. Just a crazy story, isn't it? I have nicknamed him Beethoven.

Sad..Venus is the real Queen..I often think she should have been named Serena and Serena could have been named Diana or Ares or some such..she is a warrior, nothing Serene about her!!

Deuce , amongst others, said we would see some late withdrawals. Curious who else does so.

I appreciate Bouchard's candor
