Didn't she win Charleston After? Or is it a subsequent injury?

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
I think she won in Charleston in spite of the injury. She's clearly dealing with something, but can't seem to decide whether she should rest or play thru it.

Jabeur might not be over that terrible loss to BHM at the French. I still think she'll do well at Wimbledon and maybe win it.

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
I'll take the field over Iga, too.
Can't wait to see how Muchova follows up RG. Jabeur will be tough again. BHM loves the grass. Kvitova might be in the mix. I expect Sabalenka to make a deep run - I know you were concerned by how she lost to Muchova, but Sabalenka tends to bounce back after adversity. So yeah, field it is for me.
Novak 97%. Can't see anyone touching him with his current level of motivation and fitness.
No one thinks Kyrgios repeats?

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
Yes, too harsh. Sabalenka will probably never live down here earlier reputation. I wouldn't be surprised if she wins W.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 3:54 pmWait. ONE MATCH, and we are sending her back again to the "she is mentally fragile" department? She won the Aussie and Madrid, reached finals at Stuttgart and IW, and made the semis at the French, plus she is leading the race by a good 500 points.
Isn't that a bit too much of "What have you done lately for me?"

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
I am very surprised that Muchova is not playing in any warm ups; she must obviously be training but no real time on grass.... I don't know.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2023 1:09 pm ...

I don't even think Kyrgios will play. His statements as of late seem to indicate that he is going through a lot.

He played a warm-up, though. Netfilx might require him to play to be in the next season of Break Point. All the stuff he's saying now is promo for Break Point, I think.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2023 3:35 pmI am very surprised that Muchova is not playing in any warm ups; she must obviously be training but no real time on grass....

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
If all he is saying is just promotion:
If it is true, and it is for promotion, I can't see how such a dark tale can promote the sport (or even himself).
If it is a lie, that would be very low.
I don't know. Tales about cutting yourself are very grim.

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
I had pointed this out earlier...among women, ar least, one thing common to all Wimbledon champions is- they had either won a major already or won a major subsequently...the last one-time champion was Bartoli. It takes class to win Wimbledon..only a Tier1 player can do it..so history does not offer much hope to Ms. other! Of course, Rybakina did surprise a lot of people last year, but they should not have been..Rybakina's class was evident much earlier. And, of course, we can certainly expect her to win some major or the other, again
The men..well, it has been all Big 4 anyway.

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
It's true, but it was a few years ago, right? I think he said 2019 when he was cutting, doing drugs, and went to rehab in London. The reason he's talking about it now is because he talks about it in the new Break Point episodes. I don't think it means he's in that state now. He might be, but that wasn't my understanding.

Re: An early look at Wimbledon
Ok, I thought it was the other way around. I felt that he is currently going through some stuff.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 12:51 amIt's true, but it was a few years ago, right?

Hope he has recovered, and that you are correct.
