ATP M1000 WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open 3/8 - 3/19 2023

[JazzNU]

Galfi win the USO junior title in 2015...usually,junior champions start making their mark about 3 years later...she is a bit late, but maybe covid and lockdown can be blamed .2 years grace...

She's really not though. I believe Ons won hers in 2011 and Paula won in 2014 or 2015. There is no set script for when junior girls champions find success on the pro tour, only that many of them are able to eventually.

[Deuce]

Sure. But, as I said when she won. NO player has ever won a slam before turning 20 that did not win at least another one, in the WTA. For the men, only Chang.
She has a long career ahead of her. I can wait.

We must also remember that the 2021 was still in the midst of the COVID-19 restrictions that messed everything up - from players' psyches and their physical health to the running of tournaments to the tournament atmosphere, etc...
Without COVID-19, I think it's very safe to say that we would not have seen a Leylah - Emma Final.

Medvedev could go down to Nakashima today...I just don't see Medvedev doing well here..but how well can he do?

I think Medvedev will win over Nakashima, but it will be a test for him. The match I think that could be an upset is the Rublev and Lehecka match. Lehecka has been playing some really strong tennis lately and Rublev could be tired.

Medvedev could go down to Nakashima today...I just don't see Medvedev doing well here..but how well can he do?

Could? Sure. But will? Daniil is playing solid again, his defense is up again, and Nakashima has few weapons.
Plus, and this applies to Rublev too: his last match lasted 1:12 hours. He should have plenty on the tank.
Daniil in two.

[Owendonovan]

Apparently Boris Beckers creditors aren't happy with his new commercial.

You have to agree that Lehecka is playing some really good tennis right now?

[ponchi101]

Sure. If Lehecka beats Rublev, I will not be surprised. He is playing quality tennis.
And I will not claim the reason for such a victory would be Rublev's fatigue. As I said, Rublev had a good week last week, but it was not exhausting. Fatigue will not be a factor (other than in-match fatigue, if it gets to be a monstrous 3 setter).

Sure. But, as I said when she won. NO player has ever won a slam before turning 20 that did not win at least another one, in the WTA. For the men, only Chang.
She has a long career ahead of her. I can wait.

I've seen you mention this before about Emma, but it seems like something you're pulling out only for her these days. Serious question. Are you pulling out that stat when talking about Bianca? Because I haven't seen you mention it with her in a long time.

And the "turning 20" seems arbitrary to me. Ostapenko was like 20 years and 4 days when she won the French Open. I mean, she was 19 when the tournament began that year. Makes me wonder if there's another just turned 20 year old that ruins this statline.

On the women's side I am not sure if there is a player you can put in that mold other than maybe Coco Gauff and I don't see her winning a major tournament before the age of 20.

As for the men's side that is a different story. There is Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune, and even the American Ben Shelton that could pull something like this off.

[martini4me]

Alicia Parks out in R1, 1 & 1.
A tough match up, but together with Kostyuk, another player that recently had success and now the wheels fell off again.

Zhu Lin is another who's been on a roll and lost first round.

[ashkor87]

Vondrousova is one of the best players in the world on this kind of surface...look for her to beat many people..
