Moose Malloy
G.O.A.T.
Oh lord, the drama! Ostapenko is sure the ball bounced twice by the chair ump isn’t buying it. Vika holds a crucial game where she was 40-0 up but let it get to deuce. This match has had it all!

She really has become the female Danil Medvedev, at least in my eyes. She can be funny and charming in interviews, and seems nice off the court. On the court, however, her behavior is absolutely terrible. I don't mind watching her play, and sometimes I even want to root for her, but she makes it close to impossible.Ostapenko shouting at the chair umpire, I never want you on my match ever again. You have ruined my match.
I didn't know she had the lead like that, and I'm sorry to see her lose. She could use the points, and we can use a one-handed backhand player on the regular tour (not sure what Golubic's ranking is right now).... 4-1 by Parry serving better. But she stops here. 5-4 Wang after returning aggressively. 6-4 Wang, more consistent in the last 2 sets, wins tight match.
Well, it was bound to happen. I hyper her up too much, and she made me pay for it. Seriously, though, it looks like immaturity is still an issue for her (which is fine, as she is so young). Better mental strength and decision making will make her a monster.5 & 3 for the 19-year old.
Seriously. I like Kasatkina, but against the bigger hitters (Sabs, Rabykina, Swiatek, Penko...) it seems like she has absolutely no chance.Aryna/DasKa underway to end the action in Brisbane.
This shouldn’t take long.
Let's see how Gauff looks against Navarro. Her previous opponents have been pretty weak, and easy matchups for her, but Navarro seems to be picking up where she left off late last year. And I like Navarro's attitude: she seems like a fighter that isn't afraid of anyone.The top 4 has been playing outstanding tennis so far, very promising sight just before the AO.
Navarro is no slouch. And ES is pretty well known for getting tight in semis, no?Why play semi’s? Skip to Finals of Coco and ES, then skip to the trophy for Coco. Lol
I wanted to root for Emma, especially at and shortly after her Dad’s tournament last year (Charleston) but she kept breaking my heart. No mas mi amore. ES clams tight like a vise against big named players, like the embarrassing semi at the USO against SW, but against lesser names she normally has no problems. We will see. I know I won’t watch her tho.Navarro is no slouch. And ES is pretty well known for getting tight in semis, no?
Noticeable thicker in the core. Arms and legs. Looking like a young Serena from the back.looks like Coco has put on a few pounds of muscle in the brief off-season
She is an incredible athlete. Her Dad was a solid Baseball player and I’m wondering if her Mum has a pro sports background? Her Mum is astonishingly young looking, too.looks like Coco has put on a few pounds of muscle in the brief off-season
Played volleyball in college.She is an incredible athlete. Her Dad was a solid Baseball player and I’m wondering if her Mum has a pro sports background? Her Mum is astonishingly young looking, too.
Elina survives, we get the 1 v. 2 final in Auckland.
Yep, it's quite noticeable. Wonder what she did.looks like Coco has put on a few pounds of muscle in the brief off-season
Crazy to see how Serena looked when young, and how she looked later in her career. Pretty much identical to the body development of one Barry Bonds. Read into it what you like...Noticeable thicker in the core. Arms and legs. Looking like a young Serena from the back.
Her serve was huge. Overall they were pretty evenly matches, with Navarro making a few errors in places, but also dominating some rallies. But Gauff's serve was excellent and bailed her out a few times.3 & 1 for Coco, easy day.
See above. If he was part of the baseball scene in Florida, let's hope that Coco is legit from gym work, otherwise...She is an incredible athlete. Her Dad was a solid Baseball player and I’m wondering if her Mum has a pro sports background? Her Mum is astonishingly young looking, too.
Needs to be a rule against this.Ugly matching kits for both ladies in my opinion.
Yes, strange for the WTA indeed. That said, the Auckland field was super weak. They mentioned how last year Gauff beat Kovinic in the Semis and Massarova in the finals, and her run to the final this year was similarly simple.What is this WTA? We get 1 v 2 in both cities? Unreal.
Hey, less time having to hear Sabalenka grunt is always a good thing.Damn, first set bagel 6-0 for Rybakina in 25 minutes on #2 Sabalenka.
That was just awful by Aryna.
