    Will Raducanu and Adrescu ever regain their form?

    Bianca is a bit different then Raducanu as she had a full season of great success winning two masters 1000's before her US Open win and also qualifying for the WTA Finals. She beat multiple world #1's and has many top 10 wins (specifically beating Serena for two of her big titles) while Raducanu...

    2024 WTA Miami

    Much agreed, best outfit of the season last year! Unfortunately she's still recovering from injury and attempting to return soon. She mentioned the French open swing as her goal for return. The tour is much less fun without Bianca :(

    My partner needs a racket

    Have you seen two beginner women tennis players play a match with each other? Pushing is certainly a word I would use for it. Pushing someone around... not so much...

    My partner needs a racket

    It's my opinion she should get a cheap racquet like the Head SP Spark Pro ($65 CAD). That's the racquet my girlfriend bought and it's good enough for her. It's a fun little light racquet and it comes pre-strung. Good enough for someone that is just learning the basics. Until the player...

    Bag pricing are out of control

    I'm considering upgrading to the Wilson Super Tour Blade v9 15 Pack Bag from my Wilson backpack. Originally when I bought the backpack, I was arriving to court in court clothes with only 2L of water in my tennis shoes. Now, I coach HS tennis and play in domes in the winter and need to be able...

    Wilson Blade V9 2024

    For anyone that plays with the v7 and has upgraded or playtested the v9. Is there much difference? I'm considering it mostly because I enjoy the cosmetic changes, but wouldn't mind if people also consider it to be a better racquet overall.

    2024 AO Women Final : (2) Aryna Sabalenka vs (13) Qinwen Zheng

    Difference so far mostly just experience. We would be in a tiebreak instead of 2-0 second set if Zheng was less nervous.

    Best Tennis Shorts?

    Further to this idea, any suggestions for best WHITE tennis shorts? As in they aren't see through showing your underwear and everything? Preferably shorter and very stretchy!

    Wilson Blade V9 2024

    Anyone jump from the v7 to the v9 and can make comparisons? Specifically the 16x19 model.

    2024 Australian Open - Women's Discussion

    Strange attitudes from you guys here. This match has had some really entertaining points and despite all the errors Kostyuk has also hit a ton of winners. Very dramatic. Have you guys ever watched the WTA before? This is more entertaining than 75% of the matches in this tourney so far.

    I predict short second set with coco winning 6-2

    2024 Australian Open - Women's Discussion

    At least Kostyuk is hitting some winners. She's also one of the few Wta players that can actually volley effectively. 6-6 now.

    2024 Australian Open - Women's Discussion

    I love Marta, she's one of the cutest women on tour and has a fiery game. She's a bit of a headcase though. Gets down on herself really easily and we're seeing that struggle here late in the first.

    The final 8

    I'm thinking of taking a day off to watch the semi-finals. I'm EST. Are they taking place on the Wednesday-Thursday night period? aka 3am thursday morning, or will they take place thursday evening at 9pm into friday morning at 3am? Thanks in advance!

    Jordan Thompson Criticizes Relaxed Crowd Policy. "Australian Open Is The Wokest Tournament Ever".

    This is a NECESSARY change. I'm sure we've all been to matches where there's been a huge amount of fans waiting to go into the arena. I've even seen long lines prior to the match time that resulted in some fans not being omitted in before the match because they couldn't funnel enough of them...

    I am missing the line umpires in AO.

    Matches are already long enough, especially with all the delays that can take place in tennis. I'm happy they removed one element increasing match length. It was also really rough the challenge system when a player DIDN'T challenge a call and if they did they would have won the game or an...

    Raducanu up a break 4-1, ugly tennis so far from her and Rogers, but Emma has hit slightly less errors.

    2024 Australian Open - Women's Discussion

    I thought Osaka looked both dangerous and slow at the same time. I only saw the second set though. Kind of reminded me of Serena's victory lap at the US Open where she could still serve and hit, but didn't look athletic enough to really keep it going. This was really evident when she was...

    My bad! I've been watching too, not sure what I was thinking. Radacanu is back!

    WTA week of 12/31; Brisbane 500 & Auckland 250

    ^ From 5-2, but Svitolina stepped her game up afterwards and Emma got a bit hesitant. Really fun match to watch so far though!

    WTA week of 12/31; Brisbane 500 & Auckland 250

    All I literally said was she's "not looking too bad". Don't have a heart attack but I'm going to let you know that she's even looking good in the first set vs. Svitolina.

    WTA week of 12/31; Brisbane 500 & Auckland 250

    Raducanu back with her first match is many months. So far she is not looking too bad playing against the 134th ranked Ruse of Romania.

    What shoes is Fernandez wearing here?

    Interesting, thanks for figuring it out. It will be interesting to see what happens with her ons shoe sponsorship. ON has had a hard time maintaining players in their shoes (see IGA holding out until they make hers).

    What shoes is Fernandez wearing here?

    They're definitely not ON like she was wearing before. Can't make out a brand and the silhouette looks unlike any of the major brands shoes.

    Ostapenko the Highlight of the Tournament for Me

    Is Ostapenko considered on TW a "brainless ball basher" or because she goes for lines and corners she gets a pass?

    Leylah needs a real coach. Her dad should go help her sister out. If she had a real team she wouldn't have 4 straight months of ball toss yips and an ever worse serve percentage. Her dad after the USO started to try to get her to volley more and rush the net more. She doesn't have the toolkit...
