ATP WTA GS Wimbledon 7/3 - 7/16 2023

[ashkor87]

interesting factoid: Svitolina has now defeated 4 grand slam champions in this tournament - Venus, Kenin, Vika and Swiatek! what a feat! I wonder if any non-champion has ever done that before..

[ashkor87]

She is just a kid...go easy on her, Wimby stuffed shirts!

[ashkor87]

The near-grandslam champ, Vondrousova has a pretty good shot at stopping Svitolina...as she did at the Olympics...60-40 in my estimation...

This Svitolina is different. She seems to be hitting harder.

Svitolina will have the crowd. I can't believe one of them will be a Wimbledon finalist. Happy for both. Shoulda been Pegula, though.

Well, as I keep saying, Pegula isnt really that good..the first good player she ran into, beat her. As will always happen.. she lost to Coco at Eastbourne, remember...

Pegula didn't play well in the warmups, but she was playing amazing versus Vondrousova. I think Pegula is very good - the old eye test - and should have won yesterday.

Pegula definitely played well yesterday. She just didn't close, and Vondrousova is very dangerous.

Nothing is guaranteed, but Pegula should break through to a semifinal either at the U.S. Open or the next Australian Open. She likes hard courts best.

That will depend on the draw..currently P is roughly the 7th or 8th best player on hard courts..certainly #7 can reach the semis but will need luck.
Would you expect her to beat the big 4 (Jabeur included) or Bencic?

[ashkor87]

Add Krejcikova and Alexandrova who are better than Pegula...Kasatkina, Keys, Sloane and Samsonova are roughly as good as Pegula...

[ponchi101]

Jabeur is now big 4? Aren't we running away too much with that label?
And beating Bencic? Sure, why not? It is not as if Bencic has ever been a dominating player on hard courts. Best showing at the USO: SF in 2019, losing to Raducanu. If, seeing as Emma (or if it was Leylah, then her) have panned out to be, beating Bencic at the USO is not a Herculean effort.
