He's the biggest Alexandrova supporter I've seen, consistently putting her in as a contender to win slams. A good reminder that every player has fans.JTContinental wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 7:57 pm Samsonova at 4 has to be a joke, and Alexandrova might consider winning a title before you put her in the top 10
very true but would that make her the third or fourth best player in the world? I dont think it is enough.Fastbackss wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 11:25 amHere is what I posted last month:JTContinental wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 3:44 am
I remember something last year about reaching the QFs or better in all of the big Premier level + tournaments she entered except no-points Wimbledon
Pegula's made the quarters at 4 of the last 5 Slams.
In the 8 WTA1000 last year she won 1, lost in final of 1, lost in semis of 2, lost in quarters of 2, lost in 3R of 2, and 2R of
yes, we all need a risky asset in our portfolio.. last year around August, I had Samsonova and she has done well for me. I am expecting Alexandrova to do well soon.. she has more upside, in my opinion, than,say, Pegula. If we just go by the ranking, what is the fun in it?JazzNU wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 9:08 pmHe's the biggest Alexandrova supporter I've seen, consistently putting her in as a contender to win slams.

why is it a joke? have you watched her performance recently? she has played up to this level, I think...JTContinental wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 7:57 pm Samsonova at 4 has to be a joke, and Alexandrova might consider winning a title before you put her in the top 10
I thought I had - rankings are good for the past, not useful for the future, that is all .for that, we have to use our knowledge and understanding of the game, which is what makes it fun!ponchi101 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 4:43 pm I really don't know what else to ask you, because every time I have asked you how would you change the rankings, you have said you don't know.
Change them so they would mean something to you.
Pegula did not go and buy her ranking points at the supermarket. If it were that easy, she would be #1; her dad would buy her the ranking.
And the rankings say a lot of things. For example: Iga is 4,000 points over Sabalenka. Which tells you that during the last year, she has been that much better.
OVER THE LAST YEAR. Not the last few weeks.
Also Samsonova at career high #13.JTContinental wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 11:25 pm Mostly quiet on the rankings front this week. Pegula and Jabeur will switch places at 3 and 4, respectively. Also of note, Vondrousova and Yastremska are both out of the top 100.
I think Marketa will reverse that fairly soon enough. But I have to ask yet again, do these players know the rules for protected ranking? Because it regularly seems like they don't. We know for certain in the case of Coco Vandeweghe, she didn't have the first clue about it. Don't rush your comeback and Marketa is easily at the correct length to enter Aussie Open and even the other Aussie tournaments with a PR. Why wouldn't you use that?JTContinental wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 11:25 pm Mostly quiet on the rankings front this week. Pegula and Jabeur will switch places at 3 and 4, respectively.
