Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
Something is happening to FAA. I know that Fabio is as talented as the best. But for Felix to lose in three straight is also too little of an effort.
Clay may not be his best surface, but that was a lame score.
Is anything happening to him?

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
I have a theory. A young guy with lots of talent and a stellar junior record joins the tour. Has lots of early success and soon enough becomes convinced that GS titles and even GS dominance is just around the corner. In most cases reality bites and he realises that someone is still better even when they play their best. Depression follows together with a lack of motivation.
Possible examples on men's tour: FAA, Shapovalov, Tsitsipas, Zverev

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
I do not think that Zverev belongs on this list. And Tsitsipas as well, come to think of it. Zverev had his early success a while ago - in 2017/18. He still was under-performing in slams. Then he lost his US Open final, which was a great opportunity missed. According to your theory he should've spiraled to depression right there, if not earlier. But next year he won Olympics and his second YEC. It does not add up. I still think that he is struggling with his post-injury form. Tsitsipas is a curious case - full of contradictions. But I can't paint him as being depressed. He maybe realized that he is not match for Alcaraz, which was not a pleasant thought. But then he may beat 99% of other players, so he is doing ok. Being top 5 is not a bad position.Suliso wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 3:00 pm I have a theory. A young with lots of talent and a stellar junior record joins the tour.

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
Basically, you come into the tour with a set ceiling. No experience/time will keep moving your forward.
Dimitrov, Raonic and Kei?
The statistician in me says: you are right (@Suliso). I don't know if I would go all the way to "depression"; I would say "acceptance". You will get your MS500's, maybe a MS1000. "Slams are for others".

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
I don't mean a clinical depression. Maybe resignation is a better word?

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
We are only dealing with semantics now
On the good news side: Svitolina takes Trevisan down. That a nice little streak right there. And she inherits Trevisan's seeding position.

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
Svitolina is still in typical tennis player's prime years. Could be a top 20, maybe even top 10 player again if motivation is there.

Bencic unable to recover in time from that injury. And clay has never been her forte.
On to W.

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
I felt good about Svitolina-Trevisan and I was correct. Seeing as Svitolina in Strasbourg came through 3-setters, it looked as her fitness returned to normal (or close). And her initial losses on tour were looking to me as due mainly to the lack of fitness, because she was getting early leads and then fading. And with this problem being corrected now - it is overall level that matters. She has several tier I victories, YEC and couple of semis at slams. Way above Trevisan.

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
That was a very entertaining 3rd set between Cobolli and Alcaraz. Cobolli can walk away proud of final effort. When he had nothing else to lose, his game started to flow. May be better days ahead.

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
Kvitova out meekly in round 1. I think she is returning from injury, though.

Re: '23 RG Day 2 OoP & Discussion
But indeed a lousy score. Cochiaretto should not have given that score.
What was her injury? After all, she did really well in MIA.
