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

Tsitsipas, agree his window is not over. Dimitrov will always remain a mystery to me: with that game, how come he never even made a Slam final? Kyrgios, yes, I don't see him coming back to any level of consistent excellence.
Zverev and Thiem seem, to me, to be over. Rublev has been playing the same game now for four years, with no real improvement. The game is too limited.

LOL, HEY, now- Thiem DID win a US Open title!! Give the guy some credit here. (Same for Medvedev. They managed to win their US Open titles while the gettin' was still good.)

Dimitrov is a mystery to you?!?! To me, his making three Slam singles SF's is the true mystery. He never developed any go-to winner shots he could count on. His game was never anywhere near big enough. Fortunately for him, he did win The Tour Consolation Prize (tennis' version of the game shows' one year supply of Rice-A-Roni, The San Francisco treat!!!!) of the ATP/WTA Championships- also bestowed upon the recent Slam Scrubs likes of Zverev, Tsitsipas, Svitolina, Garcia and Radwanska.

I know about Thiem, but I wonder if he can come back to that USO Champ level. That is the reason I am wondering if he is over.
We will have to disagree on Grigor. I find his strokes to be wonderful, he has enough power on the FH side, the serve is better than average, the movement is damn good. Sure, the stats back you up, as he never won anything big, which is my surprise. So something is/was missing, but I was never able to pin it down. If you claim it was the lack of a definite stroke, I will just.... scratch my head.

I watch enough Asian dramas to know HD makeup when I see it but this looks like no makeup. She could've had them take the shine off of her face though. I know she's an athlete and not a fashionista but this is her introducing herself to the world.

Why is his suit jacket open like that though?

This comment drew a lot of ire from Iga fans but I think he has a point.

There were actually other winners there. I had to go to another site and then to IG to find this picture. Hsieh Su-wei is stunningly beautiful.

Meh. I think it’s weird to compare the men to the women.

[meganfernandez]

No, Marketa. Yes, it's a Cinderella story, but you don't have to make a ball gown out of trash bags and borrow your brother's shoes. Unacceptable.

[meganfernandez]

They don't miss a beat do they?

they had it ready. I don't understand the stylized E and D.
