Is Bencic going to be the first mother to win a slam since Clijsters? excluding Serena who was 9 week up the duff when she won her last slam

samsonova should have won that but she didnt use the shared brain cell even though it was available

didn't like Andreeva doing all that pretend cheering and supporting for her coach in that senior matches, she should have been practicing, tells me she's not a serious player, more interested in being a social media star

Iga blitzing this tournament as if she's playing on clay, though she's beaten a lot of grass court mugs, Samsonova aside, shaping up for a Saba v Iga final, the real Number 1 and 2 in the world

why do tennis players always have to be super happy or super excited when they win. What's wrong with just saying you're delighted or very happy?

I blame the Americans. They love to say super. Germans too.

Bencic vs Amanda final would be interesting optics. Two players that walked away from the tour for different reasons coming back after a break and reaching new levels at a slam.
By:

I like both but anything not involving Iga or Aryna would be a Cilic vs Nishikori type of final, like we had here last year in BK vs Paolini.

Andreeva for me is not aggressive enough ,plays too many mamby pamby shots .She is young should be smacking that forehand ,save the sliced forehand for when you're 37.

Is Shelton worth a few quid at 4's? If Sinner has a lacklustre start must be a decent chance of a trade.

Slice worked well for Mirra there, but yeah I see what you're saying.

I'm thinking Jannik will probably get this done in four. He's won 14 sets in a row against Ben (including three at Wimbledon last year) but Shelton is worthy of breaking that sequence with a single set here. Assuming the arm is okay Jannik's going to be pretty well rested, different if he's had to slog three sets back against Grigor.

You can get away with the slice on grass to an extent, but on other surfaces she's really got to find a weapon in that forehand as it's such a weakness compared to others.

Bencic used to put so much pressure on hereself to meet expectations. I thought her time out would give her more perspective but she's so stressed here.

in England, the only people that ever start any sentence with -Super, is posh people, the middle to upper classes, you'd never catch anyone from a working class background talking like that.

However abroad where countries are much less divided by class, it just seems to be the norm, like the word bravo, you'd have to be from a  certain background in the UK to say that but in Europe it's standard.

I'm sure Mirra will come through in the end, but this is now two QF's in a row she has lost as a fave.

This talk of multiple slams for Andreeva ,I can't see it .Got some decent shots ,serve ,backhand ,volley ,but forehand needs to go back to the drawing board ,terrible .

okay, no sign of Sinner's arm falling of as yet. Long way to go, though.

She needs a better coach, Conchita looks more like a friend
