Riske hit it off the opponent’s leg and said “I’m sorry.” The umpire thought the opponent hit it with her racket, so he called a let and awarded them the point.

i was just watching some old highlights from the golden age of women's tennis when serena, venus, henin, clijsters, davenport, hingis, etc were all fighting for every title and it made me sad to realize how much of a sh*t show the WTA has been for the past like 10 years

I agree. Although I'm more ambivalent about the ATP than I ever have been. I usually love the Australian Open but going into the second week I'm struggling to keep interested with so many leading players underperforming.

Lehecka got my attention at the Next Gen ATP Finals last year, so I'm glad to see him with a strong start to 2023.

 

I feel like Tsitsipas is coming for his first slam, especially with Novak not 100%.

Tsitsipas can always lose to anyone, but we'll see.

Hopefully Novak really does go out soon

yes king jiří came prepared, will be an interesting match with tsitsi

 

that sinner match, he let him dream a bit before destroying him .. let's see, novak still plays really well, depends how serious the issue really is.

I’d love to see Azarenka have a dream run. First mother to win a Grand Slam (I think?).

1990-1992 Seles-Capriati was the last great women's tennis rivalry, in my opinion. 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 Fruhvirtova. I believe she is the most talented player in the women's game since Seles and Capriati.

nahh early 90s was literally just Seles and Graf :skull: in the 2000s you had at least 8-10 women who were all fighting for the same titles.

 

Seles-Capriati had like one memorable match at the US Open while the rivalries between Serena-Venus, Henin-Clijsters, Davenport-Hingis, etc all were multiple high quality matches over a 5-10 year period
