Talk About Tennis 2.0

Complaining about medical timeout when you literally own the record for retiring from matches seems a little... odd.

Takes one to know one? She almost seems grudgingly impressed.

Coco is playing really well..she could win this title...
Revised probabilities now that Sabalenka is not playing .
Rybakina 40%
Gauff 35%
Swiatek 10%
Raducanu 10%
The field 5%

The field has a much better chance than five percent in my view.

Rybakina has suffered from a series of maladies recently and went three sets against Siegemund in her last match. Gauff has not played anyone. Swiatek has not proven her past struggles at Wimbledon are history. Raducanu just got her first top-10 win against a spent Pegula.

I don't know if this improves things any, but she just beat Sakkari, and Raducanu didn't beat any top 10 players to win the US Open.

Notice the incredibly dumb swinging volley (from Sakkari). Straight back to Raducanu.
Navs, Mandlikova, Shriver, BJK, Court, and any of the great volleyers of the past would have hit a solid, sharp angle volley and finish the point there.

Raducanu is simply better than people give her credit for ..nothing more to it.

Raducanu has played so little tennis that it's hard to quantify her abilities.

Also if we take Raducanu so seriously why not Krejcikova and Ostapenko? They're GS champions too and much highet ranked.

And both with more extensive records that we can look at. Krejcikova is having a off year right now, but she's had success at other big tournaments, and Ostapenko's record against the world #1 is note worthy.
