    Disastrous loss for poor Osaka

    The Jason prose needs work

    So since Osaka/Raducanu both withdrew from a charity match are we still going to dog Serena as classless?

    A limp excuse Maybe worth 2c if one of you people had made a thread on this event to counteract your Serena biases. Did not happen.

    So since Osaka/Raducanu both withdrew from a charity match are we still going to dog Serena as classless?

    Nothing worth withdrawing. This was not another rigorous tournament match ... It was a fun charity match.. that money was supposed to help people in need. I have lost all respect for both players.. No one was expecting them to break their backs over this event. I'm honestly disgusted. Naturally...

    So since Osaka/Raducanu both withdrew from a charity match are we still going to dog Serena as classless?

    Just wondering a few things Can't ever recall her being this shameful. So she said some mean words in the past.. Less fortunate people really could've used that money. Pitiful

    How does Djokovic keep making all these finals...??

    I don't watch tennis as closely as I used to, but whenever I tune into a major this guy is always alive at the end. He plays against some random opponent and it's like the whole Top 20 is taking turns to try to stop him from winning the trophy every single time. How is this possible? Isn't he...

    WTA: nothing to see here

    Yes she erased it with her foot after they checked the wrong mark, not to say Martina was the nicest person, but I disagree with winning a match that way. Imo it's admitting you need to be underhanded to stand a chance

    WTA: nothing to see here

    Anyone who knows me knows I hate things like this, and this is what Steffi Graf did to Martina in that French Open.... lied about the mark, they stupidly didn't check it then she erased it Scum behavior no matter who does it, even Graf. Would have rather she lost to Martina on that day fairly...

    Before we dismiss Swiatek

    Maybe but what's your point? My point is we still respect Seles but her grass record was not much better than Iga's Her behavior does need improvement, but this is what happens when you start to become accustomed to winning very easily. Funny enough, I think she would have had a great coach in...

    Before we dismiss Swiatek

    I'm talking about the people dismissing her on "grass" obviously

    Before we dismiss Swiatek

    Difference is, unlike Sampras in his tough era I genuinely believe Iga is pushing the rest of the weak women's tour to raise their level further.. Finally...

    Can we stop calling players "Mugs"?

    Weren't we for years blabbing about how we can take games from the peak Serena because she's a woman... ? Stupid thread after stupid thread? But now 12 years old French Hings is our kryptonite? Swerve effect or what's going on?

    Before we dismiss Swiatek

    Remember, Seles never won a Wimbledon in her life. She had an amazing career but only made the finals once, usually the QF only like Iga today.. Time remains to tell how Iga will do in the future - this was her best showing here so far.

    The Queen is coming back ;)

    I feel as though she inadvertently threw most of her matches with Serena So should Leylah and Coco.

    Most overhyped underachieving "next gen" player?

    Yes not to mention the circumstances under which Emma made her final will never be replicated

    Ostapenko An Annoying PIA!

    I'm going to presume she's smart enough to know that's an illegal shot even if it went over the net? Would you rather be grossly ignorant in your profession or a straight a**hole?

    Most overhyped underachieving "next gen" player?

    That's not fair.. imo Of all the hyped WTA kids since the Open era, how many have ever earned more than 2 slams before really growing up? Steles and Hingis? Of course, Emma and Leylah have other issues and are worse than normal, but the trend isn't all too new.

    Peak Sampras vs Peak Federer on Grass

    Did not Fed struggle against an older version of Pete's pigeon?
  18. Graf1stClass

    Will Swiatek surpass Henin and Venus slam count?

    Well to be fair Naomi has not retired and is set to return. To be effective? Doubtful, she's no Serena/M. Court.. Barty probably would have lost to Iga by now, given her USO performance. There really is no one to press Iga these days, almost as if she's the only consistent thing on the entire...

    Hurts to see Federer here

    That's all. It's been some time, but never thought the day would come

    I would love women to play five sets, says Amelie Mauresmo

    I find this funny, anyone who's around in the day there will remember that men's five sets were slogs (esp. grass) and most of the guys I spoke to hated to see them. We preferred the women's who had interesting decisive matches with no filler. We wanted the men's to be like that too. Best of...

    Is it possible to have another Steffi Graf?

    If you believe that, fine The reality is Seles could have beaten Graf, and Graf's record for better or worse is what it is. Seles is one player. There is no 'Seles' for Swiatek right now........ so why is Swiatek not raking in the venues? Juvenile.. If you want to attack me out of nowhere, we...

    Is it possible to have another Steffi Graf?

    Touche. So the question is then why? Is it all her or a combination of things? Can you people please . Show some self control. Monica Seles has nothing to do with the thread. These talking points are recycled in every Graf thread and it's frankly old.. We are supposed to be comparing her to...

    Is it possible to have another Steffi Graf?

    You're right, I forget she is only 21 and players today are peaking later. I'm more used to success by 21 than by 29.. If in that case, she won't fit the mold. Ash underperformed if you ask me, she is part of the blame for Emma's fanbase reliving 2021 day in and out. I never said I "assume"...

    3 years ago today - the most heartbreaking loss of Monfils' career

    That said, Monfils did always have trouble pushing beyond, mentally. Imagine a 2010s Federer with Monfils' body. Untouchable

    Is it possible to have another Steffi Graf?

    Swiatek has just lost I won't say she is being too kindly rated What I will say is that these streaks are perforated by a poor mentality, this as a flaw Graf did not have, and Swiatek should be winning every major in sight with the field she has. Perhaps, the racket tech is too far advanced...

    Is it possible to have another Steffi Graf?

    They are referring to Martinka, which is pointless because their peaks never crossed, what tickles me is a 16 years old Hingis would wipe the floor with the WTA today. If Coco played like that, we would've gone nuts It's like clockwork. They can't control it. Obviously Seles at her best was...

    Is it possible to have another Steffi Graf?

    The narrative lives on? I'm honestly surprised. Not to attack you but no one here was talking about Hingis before that guy in my thread...I imagine you're only half serious Yes but would it be succesful today even with her movement? I'm not so sure another player can emulate it :unsure:

    Is it possible to have another Steffi Graf?

    Well considering Iga just badly lost to someone worse than all of Graf's rivals, I'm not so sure this comparison applies
