TENNIS 2025

[EagerBeaver]

Easy win for COCO in 2 sets vs LEYLAH/not in the same class......8th straight victory for COCO in 2025...will play BENCIC/4th round......will do it.....things are getting serious.

Leylah tends to get overpowered by bigger and stronger girls. It happens consistently. If you notice she is a small petite girl. She was overpowered by Raducanu in the 2021 U.S. Open finals and now overpowered by Coco. Back in the day, Michael Chang used to have the same problem. Small and fast guy but he would be overpowered when he played against Sampras, Courier, Edberg etc.

There are some really big and strong girls on the tour right now. Amazonian women. Look at Sabalenka, she is over 6'0" and hits the crap out of the ball. How does Leylah who is a small petite girl have a chance against these Amazonian women. It's physics. Too much power and too much velocity. Her body might be good for sex. Professional Tennis, not so much.

Layla did better against Coco, 6-4, 6-2 for Coco and good exchanges.
I didn't see Swyatek - Raducanu match, so I can't comment on it, just that it was kind of one-sided according to the final result.
The final score doesn't always give a true story of a match.

 

[gaby]

True...BUT yesterday---i watched IGA---and it was total destruction....

 

[EagerBeaver]

Tonight Sabalenka v. Andreeva and Alcaraz-Draper

Tough first set for COCO but finally an easy win vs BENCIC in 3 sets....will play BADOSA next round.....will do it.
Today interesting one....RYBAKINA---KEYS....will go with RYBA.

 

[gaby]

Surprise..COCO lost in 2 sets vs BADOSA....the door is open for SABA or IGA...and DJOKO defeated ALCARAZ/4 sets.....SINNER and ZVEREV will fight too....will go with SINNER.

 

[sharkman]

Djoker eliminates Alcatraz 3 sets to 1 set.

 

[gaby]

KEYS will play/semis....great....vs IGA.......and the FINAL will /should b #1 SABA vs # 2 SWIATEK.....wich would b logical and exciting.

DJOKO vs ZVEREV......that's the one.....SINNER--SHELTON.....should b an easier one for JANNIK.

WOW.....big credit to KEYS...wins in 3 sets/10-8 in tie-breaker.....so will play SABA/FINAL.

 

[EagerBeaver]

WOW.....big credit to KEYS...wins in 3 sets/10-8 in tie-breaker.....so will play SABA/FINAL.

Keys has won 11 matches in a row

 

[gaby]

DJOKO retires after losing first set/7-6 due to an injury/leg......so ZVEREV--SINNER/FINAL...it should b a good one....

 

[EagerBeaver]

I am surprised Sinner beat Shelton so easily!

 

[EagerBeaver]

WOW.....big credit to KEYS...wins in 3 sets/10-8 in tie-breaker.....so will play SABA/FINAL.

Keys WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is on a roll, DENYING Sabalenka a 3rd straight win in Australia!

Major moment: American Keys wins Aussie Open

American Madison Keys knocked off top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka to win the Australian Open for her first career major championship.

www.espn.com

Sabalenka is really not a good loser. When Coco beat her at the US Open she destroyed her racket privately, this time she did it publicly for all to see. Very very sore loser.

 

[gaby]

BRAVO KEYS....after IGA defeating SABA....amazing....well deserved/ title...and a good good girl.

 

[EagerBeaver]

She had the toughest possible path to the title......not exactly a waltz, and none of her matches were easy.
