Wait. Rybakina lost a game. Damn.

[ti-amie]

impressive by Rybakina today, blowing Caro away..I couldn't see the match...did anyone here? what happened to Caro?

The roof was closed.
If you love serve botting this was the match for you. Woz was lucky to win one game.

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

certainly

either Krejcikova, Ostapenko, Collins or Putinseva will in the semis.

A few young slam winners, like Raducanu, and Andreescu seem to have earned much more scorn than others that are a little more experienced. Maybe because people started expecting more from them, where as some of the other surprise winners … not so much?

The audio is in Polish I believe but it doesn't matter. Poots and Kader hitting the mark with their non verbal communication.

Also Iga's stalling tactics after time is called kind of surprised me.

Not in personality but in game, Swiatek is a classic schoolyard bully. When she is dominating, she is great, but when someone stands up to her, she collapses in a (metaphorical) whimpering heap.

No one is good enough to challenge her on clay and put her in the fetal position, but there is a reason she needed a sports psychologist before she started winning big.

putintseva beat Swiatek by doing exactly what Rybakina and Ostapenko do..take time away from her...

Also, people don't know how to gauge quality by looking at someone's game, they need proof with data..which needs time.

Didn't see it but the reports of the press conference after the match ..Swiatek seemed singularly ungracious ..not a word of praise for her opponent .all about how she didn't get enough rest..sounds like Biden!

This may have more to do with Putintseva. I suspect Swiatek would find something good to say about different opponent. But Putintseva has a certain reputation and it is 100% deserving.
