Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
I don't watch Amanda a lot but I don't think she has the best foot work and isn't fleet of foot either? It's been awhile since I watched her though and I could be wrong. Did Simona make her move a lot and take time away from her?

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
She doesn't have the foot work like Simona, but I wouldn't say it is bad. Simona does what she always does. She made Amanda make shots and in the end Amanda made errors.
I think that will be the same exact game plan for Simona against Rybakina as well.

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
Simona kept the ball in play, and waited for the inevitable horror shot. Really, my recount of the final game is accurate: Amanda was up 0-40, and the sequence was: UE, UE, UE, W (Halep), UE.
Not to take anything form Simona; she did what she had to do. But Amanda is like a person driving a Ferrari at 200MPH and, when the brakes fail, she thinks "Let me take my seatbelt off!".

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
This is what she does and is so successful at. I think she will do this successfully against Rybakina and also in the final. She is the master of this.

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
Always inspiring to see how the top players keep improving...Halep's serve is much better even than when she last won W...

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
Yep, that is what Simona does and pretty much to perfection most of the time. No reason why she wouldn't continue to do just that against another aggressive player in Rybakina tomorrow who hits a lot of wins and makes a lot of unforced errors.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 1:51 amHalep made it so, of course- so all credit to hermeganfernandez wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 5:13 pmHalep had an easy match, though.

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
because she is older and has a history of not recovering well from tough matches..it just gets harder as you get older.Cuckoo4Coco wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 1:59 amYep, that is what Simona does and pretty much to perfection most of the time.

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
What about players like Rafa and Novak who are getting older and they have had these tough matches in the past and they almost always seem to bounce back and win? I get it that it takes longer for older players to recover from these longer/tougher matches , but these professional athletes are in top physical shape and prepare for this stuff day in and day out.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 2:17 ambecause she is older and has a history of not recovering well from tough matches..it just gets harder as you get older.Cuckoo4Coco wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 1:59 amYep, that is what Simona does and pretty much to perfection most of the time.

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
It pressures the other player into going for too much. A solid tactic.

Re: '22 Wimbledon Ladies Draw
Well yes - wasn’t meant to detract from her win. Just that she doesn’t need a lot of time to recover from this. She can handle it.ashkor87 wrote:Halep made it so, of course- so all credit to hermeganfernandez wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 5:13 pmHalep had an easy match, though. Basically a practice session.
