Big win for Andreeva, and she is finally starting to realize her considerable potential. I predicted top 10 for her last year, so it took just a few more months, but watching her play you can clearly see such a great foundation to build on.
Comparing her to Gauff, the other player to have some recent success at a relatively young age, her fundamentals are so much better.
I don't know, when she loses, it's usually a very unspectacular and limp effort. Sometimes she looks super solid and consistent, while other times she is just lethargic and underpowered. She's one of those players that can look good, and then suddenly throw in a strangely poor performance.
She doesn't always hit hard, but power is in her arsenal if she decides to use it.
I was watching, but turned off during one of the rain delays. But Andreeva was looking really good. Hitting her spots and toying with Rybakina a little bit. And Rybakina is still just too inconsistent most of the time.
