Re: '22 USO Day 1 OoP & Discussion
What is the genesis for the dislike of Mouratoglou?
I missed the memo.

LOL, well, damn, I was wrong, now that I re-read your initial post.JTContinental wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 7:59 pmThe only thing slipping seems to be your trash talking, because all of those players lost their matches.

These are the first two Chinese men who have played in the singles main draw of the US Open.

My trash talking is now sullied.
Neverthess, Slam Hard Court Legend Tim Van Rijthoven still wishes to have a word with you.

Halep was looking as solid as in her entire career coming into this match... and now picking Cori day 1 seems way dumber than before... sorry but what is Oop?

Add a "P" and that describes Simona's play. The "S" is what everybody is saying now.

Of course, I can't speak for the opinions of all of those who have the good taste to dislike Mouratoglou.
He's just always come off to me as smug and way-over-the-top grandiose about those he is coaching. Then, as soon as he can get away from Serena, Simona becomes his can't-fail Second Coming of Christ. As I can't stand Simona, this loss gives me even more pleasure to Patrick-bash.

Laura Robson is an astute observer--only three games in and she has clocked both Keys and Yastremska in terms of playing style and level of effort that they give.

Sascha Baijin is now coaching Yastremska--didn't they try this once before?

Yes. I posted about it in the coaching thread the other day. Neither made an announcement from what I can tell, so "coaching" may be a bit of a stretch pass this tournament, but he's there with her now. She put up a photo on her IG of them but few words, he put up nothing. That's atypical for him so not sure of the arrangement. I'd assume this is temporary for now.JTContinental wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 8:37 pm Sascha Baijin is now coaching Yastremska--didn't they try this once before?

Re: '22 USO Day 1 OoP & Discussion
I've asked before. There doesn't seem to be a great reason for it.
I would mind it less if there was more of a reason for it. I would also mind it less if other coaches with actual problematic stories surrounding their coaching like a Sam Sumyk were called out even a tenth as much as Patrick gets shade thrown at him.

Yastremska blows a chance to go up two breaks and 3 set points to lose the first set in a tiebreak. So far the match has been painful to watch--both players firing missiles down the center of the court until one of them can't control the pace and hit a wild UFE

Look, this is my favorite sport. When did it become mandatory to have "great" reasons for our likes and dislikes? I mean, IMO, I do have great reasons for disliking Novak and Zverev, for example. But, otherwise, it's all just subjective, of course.
