wow Jm doesn't believe in Maria Sakkari. don't underestimate the effect a more experienced coach can have on her. D Witty is a quiet pillar of strength

Winning it would be an entirely different matter.
If she does I'll be the first to give her flowers on here.
Great compliment !
Other forgotten phorum prospects in action. Eala cruising to victory! Montgomery double bagelled!
Daniil Medvedev, Indian Wells 2024
Serena, Vika et al. they all respect the rule in the end.
It's a shame because she is a totally unique player to watch and the kind of player that could draw in fans from outside the tennis bubble, younger women etc.

what a difference 24 hrs can make. Last night it was all "Wow, I can't believe Sinner has surpassed him and is leaps and bounds ahead of him these days".
they keep playing with our minds. I feel Sinner wins more HC slams than Carlos in his career, but will be interesting to see ! tennis is in a great spot with them

leaning towards Sinner at the moment, but there's some recency bias there. Health/fitness will play a big part as well, and both have had their issues, so very close, maybe slight advantage Carlos.
Yeah. Pretty much spot on. Though has super recency bias influenced this !
Let's do a £10 bet and when we are in hell eating spicy dog food flavoured ice cream one of us will at least have £10 to buy some real ben and jerrys !
With Indian Wells now over, there aren't any tournaments with super late finishes until late July!

depends on your definition of super late. There's still Houston, Bogota and Miami.
