TENNIS 2024
- Thread starter gaby
- Start date
A battle of Giants between Zverev and Medvedev we have seen before. Both guys are 6'6". Meanwhile a very disappointing performance by Alcaraz after his encouraging performance at Wimbledon last year, which made you think maybe he isn't a pure clay court guy like all the Spanish players usually are.
Alcaraz wiped out in quarterfinal loss to Zverev
Alexander Zverev made no mistake with his second chance to close out a win over No. 2-ranked Carlos Alcaraz and moved into an Australian Open semifinal against two-time finalist Daniil Medvedev.

Did you mean that he is a pure clay court guy ?
Australia Tournament is played on hard court.
That's why I said it. Not sure you understood my post. Going into Wimbledon last year Alcaraz was viewed as weaker on grass and hard courts and stronger on clay. The perception changed after his performance at Wimbledon. Yesterday's performance was a step back to the prior perception that he is similar to other young Spanish sensations as a clay court specialist.
Not surprisingly it will be Zheng who will face Dayana Yastremska in the "consolation prize" semi:

Final will be Sabalenka vs. Zheng!

Tough loss for Coco, but we can't forget she is just 19 years old and still on the rise, while Sabalenka is very much in her prime and at the top of her game at age 25.

All true....COCO is an incredible fighter....BUT the lady in red is yes in her prime...it will b a good one with ZHENG.... a solid solid/powerful player... sauf une catastrophe SABA should go through....BUT je viens de découvrir en ZHENG une fille avec un gros potentiel.
And credit to YASTREMSKA...from nowhere/a qualifier to the semi/Grand Chelem is quite an accomplishment.....from #93 she will b in the top 30...BRAVO young girl.

Sabalenka Steamrolls Zheng, Wins 2nd Straight Australian Open:

Sabalenka rolls to 2nd straight Aussie Open title
Aryna Sabalenka romped to her second straight Australian Open championship with a straight-sets victory over Zheng Qinwen.
No surprise there. When i saw Zheng play Yastremska the other day I didn’t expect Yastremska to play as well as she did against her & she literally beat herself with unforced errors & some double-faults. After the match my feeling was that Sabalenka would destroy her & easily beat her in straight sets.Sabalenka Steamrolls Zheng, Wins 2nd Straight Australian Open:

I didn't think Zheng would win a set. Winning a set would have been a great accomplishment for her. As I already said previously, the championship match was in the semis between Sabalenka and Gauff.
