skyandground Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Poor Tommy babe getting outplayed as expected Hopefully this match will motivate him to improve his game. He has the potential to become a consistent (and attractive) Top 20 player on the ATP tour Stef has close to zero chance in that final. Let’s be real! His poor backhand is just asking to be mercilessly punished by Djoker My Predictions: Djoker in 4 Elena in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddymonster Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I don’t think Stef is going to be destroyed the way some people are predicting. He did almost beat Nole in that French Open final. Granted this is a hard court, but I think it will be closer than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that it all fell apart long before it was supposed, and we never saw their true peaks. After Seles was stabbed and Capriati started doing drugs, the women's game went into the crappers. I'm just glad Capriati was able to come back years later and even win slams against the next generation (Serena, Justine, Venus, etc.), but that level of play in the 2000s was nowhere near that of the early 90s. That said, look out for Linda Noskova. I believe she is the most talented player in the women's game since Seles and Capriati. fixed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyandground Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Saba lying on the court crying after she won the championship point touched me An amazing final by two Grand Slam Champions! Saba is simply unplayable when her game is on. Elena was kinda dominated in the 2nd and 3rd sets Elena is cool, calm and classy as always! Love her so much! She will win her second GS very soon!

She will win her second GS very soon! i was rooting for Elena but Aryna was really the one coming for it. i loved their polar opposite fire & ice attitudes, it was so funny after winning a point, hearing aryna scream and if elena won, no change in her expression (which i prefer, these icy queens). either way, great match, the last game, on aryna's serve was EXHILIRATING you could feel the tension, loved it. elena already has a slam and aryan was due, hopefully it calms her in the following year(s).
