I don't know what Coco should do with her forehand... But is it worth the risk of it being worse than it already is, which, again, has gotten her pretty far in the game.
Yes, it's pretty crazy how far she has gotten on great defense, and an above average (or strong) backhand. But I think that says more about the rest of the tour than it says about her. Also, she has had amazing draws recently, and has done well to consistent rack up wins against far inferior opponents.
I think if she doesn't change, she will become like an FAA of the women's game. Showing a lot of potential at a young age, all the physical tools to do well, but their game gets stagnant and they can't get past a certain level, despite getting older and more experienced. If anything, other players will figure them out more and more, making it even harder on them.
Also, they were talking about Gauff being at the Morotoglu (spelling?) academy as a 10 year old, and learning clay court tennis there... but it makes you realize how long Coco has been being prepped for a career as a top tennis player, and how deeply ingrained things like her forehand must be at this point. Hard to radically change a shot after so much time.
Davenport: “she wants to be a champion.”
Gosh, really? My life and career is playing this sport. I don’t want to be a champ. I just want to be a mug. Really, I’ll pass.
The absolutely stupid and asinine things this woman says….
Honestly, Davenport is one of the absolute worst. Nothing interesting to say, and her grumpy demeanor seems to come through the microphone. It's bad enough when they show her on camera for some of the studio shows, and she always looks miserable, but I don't need to hear someone who seems reluctant to be doing the broadcast. And god forbid she should get excited for a big point.
It's actually amazing how bad the overall level of commentary/announcing is on the TC feeds, compared to some other sports.
