What a match! Cori almost melted down but you could see the influence of Gilbert and Riba in the way she settled down and took over the match. Wonderful to see.

I know that these players play at a different level than us. They have so many weapons, so much skill.
But sometimes, they do forget the most basic of all rules: KEEP THE BALL IN. Sabalenka played a 2nd and 3rd set that would make Ostapenko look controlled.
You can't hit 46 UE's and expect to win.
Coco did the opposite. Keep it in, hold the points, wait for the opening. I say the Pere/Brad team has done a hell of a job.

More data points for my "Experience is overrated" theory.

In other words she's already kicked butt now she's just taking names.

Serious question. Has there been many non-believers? She has been on the "future slam champ" category for a long time now.
I understand that some people talked about issues with her game (the FH analysis and all that) but is anybody surprised by this result? I may be speaking for myself, and I did say Aryna would win, but the fact that she won a slam surprises me not one bit.

The song playing at the time of her dancing was "Call me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, thus the phone gesture3mlm wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 8:49 pm Due to the Disney/Spectrum dispute I've been watching the US Open by livestreaming Australian TV station 9NOW. A little before the match, Dokic and another Australian commemtator showed a video clip of Coco when she was 8 years old dancing in the stands at the US Open (2012?). As she was dancing she made a telephone gesture just like Ben Shelton's. Dokic even commented on it. Was that a dance move back then?
