The reason is she could not hold her nerve in the past. She was notorious for blowing matches.
I expect her to reach the top 15 by the end of the year.

Hope you are right, and I am wrong.
My confidence in that statement is waning now that I see she is 45th in the year-long race. Not sure how much a fourth-round U.S. Open result will help her, and of course she got zero points for her Wimbledon quarterfinal.
Hmmm... I've seen plenty of 3 hour + best of three matches live - at all levels.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Sat Sep 03, 2022 2:25 amthat's what Twitter said. There probably aren't many three-hour best-of-three matches, period. And she often won quickly. Also PMac confirmed it. Also P-Mac confirmed it.
I think "nowhere near" is a bit harsh. Ivan Lendl, Jan Kodes. Also one can recall certain Jaroslav Drobny.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:02 pmI did say to a lesser degree.

Maybe they push men toward other sports with a bigger tradition in China.
Boy, not a lot of respect for Jiri Vesely... Maybe tennis isn't a big sport for the Czech men, either. And the population isn't huge - only 10 million, similar to Portugal, Greece and Sweden, none of which produce many top players these days, other than Tsitsipas (and that's Mouratoglou).
And the 10MM population makes it even more difficult to understand. That is the population of BOGOTA. They do know what they are doing.
2% of WTA tour-level matches go three hours or morejazzyg wrote: ↑Sat Sep 03, 2022 2:57 am There are plenty of three-hour women's matches, but Serena never played many long points at the U.S. Open because of her serve and aggressiveness, and she usually did not play many games because she was winning comfortably. I'm surprised but not shocked by it being her longest match.
