I know, I know, I know. After such a loss and athlete of Naomi's class must feel very bad. But when you say that it was the worst match of your life, you are saying the other player did not win it. Kind of a bit unfair.
Osorio has now been the recipient of two worst matches in life. Osaka here, Sakkari (who did not say that) at the Aussie. Let's see if this time she can back it up.

Yastremska's raw power is effective on slow courts...

This is misreading of the conditions...I would expect Norrie to beat Paul..Paul is quick, has a good serve, doesn't really penetrate with his shots ..he will do better on faster courts..

That comment about "if he loses that Aussie open final he may be broken" keeps gaining data points.

saw a bit of Swiatek vs Garcia.. a couple of low bounces near the baseline had Swiatek mistiming the shot.. the bounce is a bit uneven .. not always low but unexpectedly low in spots..

awesome performance by Parks! Her power works well here... overwhelmed Kalinskaya..made many errors though, missed some putaways..

About Zverev - way too early to claim that!

Retirement maybe.
I still say that Mick's comment has gained on importance. Zverev's S. American tour was a mess, and now this. It bodes not well.
