Leylah Fernandez gone in first round
Emma Raducanu gone in second round
Jasmine Paolini gone in second round

Common denominator for all 3? Smaller physiques.
More than ever, the game these days belongs to more muscular physiques
Even Jessica Pegula has bulked up significantly
Mboko strutting her stuff resembles Serena Williams, as someone observed

Thanks for the sideswipe Prince. Miracles do happen Jannik and Iga dropped sets. Iga to Jannik's ex.

Best match so far.

Potapova isn't exactly built like Martina Navratilova.

Hoping Mboko can really give Sabalenka all she can handle later today. Kid can really slug so hoping she's got a strong mental game too.

 

[Insidious Von]

Prince is right, Jannik's ex has put on muscle.

She has that Cailee Spaeny gnd look about her. She plays a smart game. Inexperience caught up with Victoria.

Mboko loses 6-1, 7-6, to Sabalenka.

First set was a blur for Vicky. But she acquitted herself in the second set only to be steamrolled in the tie breaker.
I despise the octane screaming by Sabalenka. Usually turn the volume off

Iva Jovic is doubles partner of Mboko. She faces the mountain that is Sabalenka next.

Elina Svitolina 6-2 6-4 over underachieving Mirra Andreeva

Coco Gauff vs Svitolina for a spot in the semifinals (likely against Sabalenka)

Its time for Andreeva to change coaches. She is not growing with Conchita Martinez

 

[Insidious Von]

Ukrainian Elina Svitolina prides herself on her fitness and work rate...she's not going to lose to a Russian.

Elena Rybakina suffers even more from sucky coaching. She's a dark horse to win it all, she has a winning record against both Sabalenka and Swiatek. She'll probably collide with Iga in the semi finals.

Iga has trouble with Elena, I'm giving the edge to the Russian via Kazakhstan. Maybe Borat will be there to make shit.

There haven't been that many upsets in this year's AO, Musetti over Fritz in straight sets is one. The tweener rally will become legendary. Lorenzo goes from the marble quarries of Northern Tuscany to facing Joker in Melbourne.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing for tennis?

I think it's a good thing. It shows that the seedings were accurate, for a change.

The problem is if it happens too often it will take some excitement out of tournaments.

 

[Insidious Von]

Elina Svitolina has always been a great defensive player, now she's controlling points. She faces Sabalenka next.

 

[princekwekua]

Sabalenka beats Svitolina 6-2, 6-3, to reach the finals.

A woman playing with girls is what it looks like lol

 

[Insidious Von]

Silent Queen is playing to her potential, she better not fuck it up.

 

[princekwekua]

After its all said and done, Carlos Alcaraz will end up being the greatest to ever play the game.

In a tightly contested match, he was down 3-5 in the 5th set. He simply broke Yverev twice to win the final 4 games and the set 7-5 and the match.

Wow!!! What a player

 

[Tony Figaro]

I like both Djokovic and Alcaraz, but I will definitely be rooting for Novak to make history and get his 25th Grand Slam at the final. I think Djokovic is more determined than ever and will make Carlos cry again like at the Paris Olympics Gold medal match and trophy ceremony. LOL
