Leylah top three in world

Part of why I love Chrissie's is that her comments are often so...peculiar.
It's part of her charm.

As for LF? I just love her game. We shall see how she progresses in terms of growth and, more importantly, consistency. But man is she fun to watch.

Did anyone notice that yesterday, during a changeover, Leylah sat absolutely still, and meditated, like that guy, Novak Djokovic?

It must be quite a bit harder to do it in front of a 20K strong raucous stadium tennis than, say, in a quiet zendo.

For tennis 'instincts' ? What's that to mean??

We know Chrissy won 18 GS's.......but Ms. Fernandez is not #3. If she wins the US Open she will still not be #3, she will be ranked #18 I believe.

If you're referring to a prognostication of Ms. Evert that's an entirely different discussion.
Please go back and read my OP more carefully. :)
When she said "Top three in the world" she was referring to TENNIS INSTINCTS! (Not rankings) :(

Can they not just wait and see. She has one title. She has played the most insane tournament and looks amazing and a future great.

BUT we've seen this before and the player goes nowhere. No need to build such unnecessary hype on the youngster.
The difference is her ATP forehand will make her tennis royalty in the WTA circuit, she is here to stay...i just hope she doesn’t do an Osaka.

When they say "Top three in the world" they are usually referring to
the current era, otherwise they would have said "Top three greatest ever" etc.
She could be, most wta players do lack court sense of when to do what like a hingis or even evert herself

If she has a top three talent for tennis then surely that implies a view of her potential ranking in tennis.

Instincts is opposed to mere power, presumably. And talking of instincts allows her to weasel out of any direct claims.

The reality is that if she doesn't win more than ten slams, her instincts will not amount to anything close to a top three in tennis.
