Kenin was invincible and beautiful in this tournament. I want her to do her best from now on.🎉
This is the proof that mentality plays a big role in modern life, let alone sports - tennis
It's interesting how matches involving Gauff used to always be full (compare the crowd in the 4th round match versus the quarter-final with Jabeur), mainly because the media had already hyped her up as the next all-time great so people wanted to get a glimpse of the future. You could even hear the crowd going crazy for her, and giving Kenin a smattering of polite applause when she won a point.
Well, and the media was pretty much right. Gauff won a major before turning 20 and has been a consistent top 10 player for 3 years running.
The most impressive part is learning that Martina Trevisan could play tennis 🎾 without making horrible grunts 😮
Head UP!
Shock is the name of the game in the WTA. There are no top players, anybody can win.
lolol
She lost in the first round! Why the comments about something that transpired 4 yrs. Ago!!!!
Good for her, but she’s won like 3 matches since then. Another case of burnout, too much pressure and expectation following a big result. It’s Bouchard, Andreescu, Vaidisova etc all over again.
She's elininated the grunting from her game, hasn't she?
