- Anyone else notice how general mental & physical fatigue is a major issue now, given WTA's ignorant refusal to consider the stress of their idiotic scheduling and additional demands??
- What a load of bullshit. Artur Szostaczko failed to mention that he didn't get hired!!
- Almost condescending. BTW: That was another anti-climactic Final compared to several of the excellent pre-Final matches.
- Sounds like maybe a mental health break? Miss her on the tour. My favorite American female player. Hurry back Emma!
- Why are microphones even allowed in front of the coaching boxes??? In this age of hi-tech, whatever is heard (strategy or otherwise) can instantly be relayed to any given opponent. How and why did WTA decide to slip this past everyone? Also, these strategic placements of mic's is obvious stupidity initiating a commentator's personal decision to expound upon -- and apologize for -- foul language, etc., when a player or team member curses, etc. Then media pounces upon every off-color phrase or word in their sensationalistic "news coverage". This practice of literally -- and openly -- eavesdropping needs to stop!!
- So she actually CAN think clearly! If she wants to play tennis, make it a priority. Learn from Life choices (like having a kid with her rapper ex). Today's game is a grueling exercise in Humility if one is not fully dedicated; or does not have the time to do The Work. Raducanu is a shining example of someone with the talent but lacks the drive, attitude, and/or devotion it takes to maintain 100% capacity of everything the Tour demands.
- It's as if troubled 'Condescending Collins' is competing with The Williams' for the daily spotlight. Some just do not know when to quit. Go fix yourselves and stop informing the public of your personal problems. The general public has their own issues in Life.
- Coach Macci and Martina Navratilova are seemingly the only reasonable voices coming out of the tennis circuit in regards to Iga at the moment. People like Stubbs, Gilbert, and anti-Social Media dwellers have very little or nothing to offer. What they are indeed is... predictable. Why certain media think their input is of value is a mystery. Perhaps easy filler for their publications? Media, in general, could/should consider their poor choices and lazy habits of running to the Loudest Mouths for "expert advice". Certain Internet 'news sources' might do their own research and STOP COPYING & PASTING the first articles to hit the web with little-to-no editing or true journalism. As for Iga (and any athlete) they are not robots. They are Human Beings and Humans, as we all know, are not infallable. Leave the expert criticisms and "solutions" to these athletes and their teams. Disgruntled bettors and so-called "experts" are not a solution!
- Sab has more disappointments to come. She's more or less been 'skating' by many of her opponents. Perhaps less Social Media, TV commercials, and photo-ops... otherwise those distractions will gaurantee a slide in ranking. Take that hint from the downfall of some of her colleagues.
- No kidding. Obviously this did not cross an editor's cubicle. Other than the mediocre grammar... there are more comma's in this mess than in 'War and Peace' !!
