Eubanks was really impressive.. not just serve.. moves well, volleys well..could well beat Medvedev...

Eubanks has no shot to beat Medvedev. Not saying it will be a rout, but he will not win.

I think Eubanks has at least a 50% chance...Medvedev is always vulnerable to a volleyer because of his court positioning and his passing shots, though very precise, lack power..

There is a bit of self-fulfiling prophecy here though..if you are ranked high, you will be seeded high, so you are more likely to survive the early rounds..Pegula is a prime example...nobody but a good player can beat her, and her ranking/seeding protects her from them till the QFs at least...

Honestly, her behavior on court was surprising to me yesterday. I've watched her a couple of times now and have seen nothing of the sort before, and she is very sweet and teenagey in interviews.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2023 1:44 am Could very possibly be.
BTW. I know that there are some mentioning of Andreeva being a bit bratty. ESPN L.A. got an interview with her. She explained her situation, admitted that the NO HANDSHAKE was uncalled for, and said that she simply disagreed with the umpire. Very "straight and narrow".
So, at least after the event, she did not sound bratty.

You're ranked high because you regularly reach the latter rounds of important tournaments not the other way around. With some exceptions in case of a sudden loss of form.

Which I think is great. IF she was given a script AND she stuck to it, it means she is willing to listen to some people, and make corrections.ti-amie wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2023 2:04 amWhoever is in charge of her PR gave her the script.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2023 1:44 am Could very possibly be.

If somebody can pull her aside and tell her "that was not good from you" and she will at least evaluate it, she can become a much better player.
Just look at Rune. He is obviously surrounded by his family, who certainly loves him, but who will not tell him to tone down some aspects. And we already know the reputation he is acquiring (or already has).
