“He’s had a very tough year with a lot of injuries. It means a lot to us that
he came here for all of us. He gave us a lot of positive energy. Thanks Matteo.
All the time, we kept everything together. Yesterday we were one point away

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
