- Unreal. The amount of luck Coco Gauff had in that last game was simply insane. Most players need 14 matches to get that lucky.
MrAndreeva12-05-2026 - Her body mass is too much for the pace of a chamopinship run. Time is catching-up to her.
mandoist10-05-2026 - "Injury" seemed to have very little to do with her loss. She almost said it out loud in her presser!

It's been proven that getting side-tracked by media junkets, filming TV commercials, soaking-up the perks, and incessant 'Social' network posting leads to major distractions from the tournament grind.mandoist10-05-2026
