Problem is that Oracle owns JAVA. And JAVA is truly everywhere.

I had no idea he'd set up a fiefdom on the Hawaiian island he bought until I heard what he's done there on a podcast. Definitely "stained".

Indian Wells, do you boycott it then?

One more win for Gauff to join the top 10.

Totally a contender for Wimby, this year.

I don't quite get the prevailing scepticism about her GS chances around here. Not for this particular Wimbledon necessarily, but medium term.

Lot's of people in the forum have been saying that her progress has been "slow" and "methodical", in the good sense.
My opinion is that if she just made her first Slam final, and is now playing well on the surface for the next slam, she is a contender now. If she loses, so will 127 players in those two weeks. But I give her a good chance at W.

I'd consider her a contender for sure. Why not? She's playing great, evidently likes the surface. But it's not like anything less is a disappointment.

Joining the chorus re Cori. I thought she was another two years away from being a Slam contender but she has put in the work, she's stopped growing, and the results speak for themselves. With the right draw she can make the second week.

I'll be honest, part of the expectation is the dearth of other Slam contenders other than Iga. I'm looking at her, Gauff, Jabeur, Halep, Pliskova, and Kerber as favorites, in that order. I keep looking past Sakkari, as always.

I wish we didn't have to look past Sakkari. She takes herself out of so many matches. It's sad to watch.

Coco is certainly playing well but I am not so sure she has improved..her forehand weakness persists...at RG, she had a very good draw,- the moment I saw the draw I said Coco is going to the semis ..we will soon know..she is playing Jabeur next..if she has really improved, she should beat Jabeur..somehow, I am not so sure. She beat Pliskova but she would have beaten her even last year, had they met at W..the next benchmark for her is players like Halep, Sakkari,Jabeur..when she beats them, she would have improved to the next level ..

What would be a "bad draw" nowadays? Apart from landing on Iga's side, on clay, who would be fearsome players on your side? Any of the top 10 (Sabalenka, Badosa, Kontaveit, etc) are, by definition, tough players, but nobody in that group is unbeatable. Drawing the current USO champ is nothing impossible, and any player below the top 10 is around the same.
Again, other than Iga on clay (and we will see soon if that spills over to grass or hards) I think there currently is no such a thing as a "bad draw". Or, the opposite: all draws are bad. It is called the WTA, right now.

Depends on the player..for Coco, a bad draw would be Kerber, Bencic, jabeur, Sakkari, Halep, even Leylah and Raducanu..on grass
