Congrats to McCoco = the doubles team of McNally & Gauff. Into the QF round to play the #2 seeds for this young American pair. Nice little tribute to Kobe Bryant after their win.

This is just so typical of Muguruza, when everyone writes her name off she's back on the hunt as well.

I don't think we will have a new slam winner in AO, don't mind if Jabeur do tho lol. Kvitova vs Muguruza will be my hope.

Too bad for Kerber. She has so much talent (and majors titles to back that up), and knows how to beat champions in believable fashion. I want her to come back strong at the remining three majors.

Who has aggression towards Gauff? We’re talking about the media not the player. Get your facts straight.

Bull. Media bias in this case is a myth, but what is not are the attacks on Gauff, with some barking that she's overrated and is not so "great.". But of course, other players with no majors are often hyped to the stars around here and that's fine.

Yeah...

So coaching from the stands is now legal in the WTA?
Patrick with the "everybody is doing it, so it's okay for me to do it" excuse again. :rolleyes:
Y knot? A majority of other sports allow it: baseball, football, basketball, volleyball, etc. Even solo sports like boxing (during and between rounds).

Lets not diminish that. One major is a HUGE accomplishment that most pro/elite athletes never achieve.

My point is that Thundervolley is being hypocritical on the matter saying how great the WTA tour is because they have so many major winners and now says 1-major winners are overrated. TV is just sore because of constantly complaining that Andreescu was overrated hereabouts but then Andreescu went on to win the U.S. Open as some of us predicted. In any case, winning 1 major is a huge accomplishment, but in and of itself does not make one a great player, e.g., Jausovec, Ostapenko, Pennetta, Ruzici, Schiavone, etc.

It does make them great players.
Just not legendary players.

I figured out why I don't like Kenin. That rat-like screaming. She scolded somebody after Jabs hit into the net.

Now she's upset she doesn't have a challenge to challenge a shot that went in.

Jabeur is the better player when she’s disciplined. But, in many occasions, she’s not.

She’s a shot maker, like Monfils.

Kenin is also making her more undisciplined, so to speak. By returning shot after shot, making the points longer and making Jabeur move more, she has been able to stop her from being that shotmaker you mentioned.
But that slice passing shot was a beauty, no doubt about that.

Kennin seems to be playing to not lose. Instead of playing to win. Like she just waiting for
Jabeur to implode
