Ohh well. Tourney should still be fantastic.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Emma Raducanu bows out in second-round loss to Coco Gauff. by PrincessBananas85
My context for this comment isn't just the heat. It's the first major of the year. It's the first time a lot of the men have played more than 3 sets since September. Some players have had more active offseasons than not. Then there's vacations, etc, etc.
Hell, at least it's not being played on the reclaimed tires anymore. That stuff would start getting sticky and players would get their feet caught causing ankle/knee issues.

Not really that surprising. Even if she was fit, Gauff is everything that Raducanu is, but with more power, consistency, and athleticism. Raducanu's game hasn't been much ever since her US Open, which the faster courts may have given a perception that she has more power than is actually there. And, she just can't stay healthy, for whatever reason. So, that's not helping her develop any sort of consistency.
The Aussie Open is has always been the fitness test. It's played during the Australian summer time, which can get brutal. That's why players like Agassi and Djokovic have racked up so many wins there. If you're consistent and fit, you have a terrific chance to go far at the AO. If you're not... ehh, gonna have a bad time.

Nah. We’re going all in with our living embodiment of sunk cost fallacy.

Apparently he gets input on the new coach. Swell.

They showed this on air minutes after the game erupted into a brawl after UofA clinched it.
Just glad we didn’t lose for a 6th straight year.

Reply to Venus Williams' reflective post raises speculation about tennis future. by PrincessBananas85
She's had a great, hall of fame career, but it's probably time. I'm sure dealing with Sjögren syndrome (my aunt has this and deals with terrible joint pain) and having a career that has spanned 28 years takes its toll.
If it weren't for her sister, she probably would have crested double digit Grand Slams, although her head to heads against other greats was kind of spotty.
She's wound down her involvement pretty severely, might as well just enjoy the rest of her life. She seems like someone that would rather go away quietly than deal with all of the fanfare.

New coach, same March results.
2 years in a row that we’ve looked completely lost in the tournament. Sure we can put this one down due to injuries, but that does excuse the team playing brain-dead sloppy basketball, blowing defensive assignments, and Tubelis once again playing like a timid idiot.
I want to scream.
