Unfortunately it’s going to be very hard for her to win a Slam if she doesn’t fix her second serve and forehand.

I'm sorry, but this is the weakest era of women's tennis. It's not like there is a Steffi Graf or a peak Monica Seles on tour right now. Heck, there isn't anyone as good as Sabatini or Capriati. The tour is so weak right now, Magda Linette is in the Top 20 of the world rankings and made a slam semifinal. If that can happen, then Coco Gauff will almost certainly win a slam at some point. And when she does, it won't be a fluke. Coco made the finals of the French Open last year. There have been worse players than Coco that have won slams.

I’m not saying she’s a bad player at all or undeserving of a Slam; I would like to see her win one. But, if anything, that French Open final loss emphasizes the weaknesses in her game. It may be a weak era, but there are enough solid players who can take her out if she’s double faulting or spraying forehands everywhere.

Weak era doesn't mean your fave will automatically win?

 

Your fave just lost to someone ranked lower than Magda Linette. Not sure how mentioning Linette will help your case...

Time for Aryna to go back to the serve biomechanic :redface:

Serving issues seem more mental and Sorana was returning pretty aggressively to me tbh.

I'm ready for the clay season to start.  Monte Carlo is always one of my fave tournaments of the year!

I wonder if Angelica is actually going to make a comeback this year. She’s missed!
