    I’ve seen it 3-4 times since I’ve been here and it’s been great. Still don’t entirely know what’s going on but watching it with locals is great. Learned quite a bit, definitely would watch it more.

    I bet all the locals talk about is Chris Gayle. Youtube him when you get home. Fucking beast

    edit: 666666 guy but has a jersey or something that’s 666 branded was the way I understood it.

    Just flipped it on. Caught most of the action on replay this morning.

    Ash looks drained, and Giorgi all over Jen early.

    The Golubic backhand is pretty great. Don’t see many like it on the women’s tour.

    I’m afraid Saba Is going to follow Pliskova footsteps and just never win a big one

    paulski Well-Known Member

    Ehn, I think it's still really early days for Sabalenka - she's still got plenty of time to win something big, unlike Pliskova & Svitolina-Monfils. I mean, she was only just a set away from playing in the Wimbledon final.

    Agreed. Sabalenka is only 23 and seems to be playing some of her best tennis lately. I wouldn’t be surprised if she made a deep run at the US Open.

    I don’t think it’s out of the question for Monfils, but her chances are running out.
