Iga Criticizes Tennis Calendar; "Too Intense"

Swiatek again slams 'intense' tennis calendar

Iga Swiatek criticized the relentless tennis calendar ahead of Wimbledon, saying players should not be forced to compete in more than 20 tournaments a year to maintain their rankings.

This has long been a complaint with many players. It's just like all the other too-long professional sports seasons, driven by a hunger for profits.

WIMBLEDON is on......enjoy those 2 fabulous weeks....

 

[gaby]

Big first day.....surprise... MEDVEDEV out.....same for TSITSIPS qui s'est retiré after losing 2 first sets.....not going well for him........CARLOS and FÉLIX had a long day BUT went through...and how about DIALLO...wow....on fire in 3 easy sets....more more more.

WOW......another major upset....PEGULA OUT/2SETS/58M........big surprise.....KOSTYUK also out...let's see what else cette seconde journée nous réserve......enjoy.

Early tomorrow Leyla will play Siegemund. C. GAUFF lost 7-6, 6-1 against Yastremska !
The 18 years old Canadian MBOKO won against M. FRENCH 25TH favorite.

 

[gaby]

Oui...belle petite surprise la victoire de MBOKO....de plus une lucky loser et a quand même battu une très bonne joueuse......et agree....wow....la défaite imprévue de GAUFF/1er tour.....est le haut fait de la journée. RYBA----IGA et COLLINS ont mieux fait.

Parlant de LEYLAH ça ne regarde pas bien.....vient de perdre le 1er set 6-2......à suivre,

 

[gaby]

LEYLAH.....comme prévisible she lost in 2 sets....le contraire aurait été la surprise.....lollll.

 

[EagerBeaver]

LEYLAH.....comme prévisible she lost in 2 sets....le contraire aurait été la surprise.....lollll.

You didn't mention that her German opponent is 37 years old, won 64 points to 48 for Leylah, did not have her serve broken and made 71% of her first serves. Leylah couldn't have done much about the last of those match stats.

 

[gaby]

PAOLINI is out.....suis pas surpris.....SABA---RADU--SVITO---OSAKA...still on their way.....nice to see OSAKA back.....

 

[STAEDTLER]

If she played like her US Open final in 21’ No doubt she would have won. What really matters in pro tennis is what you have between your ears….
Leylah is a great athlete but she lost confidence in her game.

 

[EagerBeaver]

I am not sure Sabalenka should be advising her fellow players on mental health issues, but she is doing so anyway:

Sabalenka urges Zverev to address mental health

Aryna Sabalenka advised Alexander Zverev to address his mental health before such issues "destroy" him, with the world No. 1 pointing to herself as an example of a player who benefited from speaking with a therapist and her family.

RYBA----IGA--COLLINS all through....today.

 

[gaby]

Déjà fini pour les CANADIENS avec les défaites de FÉLIX et MBOKO......cela en dit beaucoup sur l'état des choses ici....lollll

 

[gaby]

SABA--RADU today......not fair....lolll....BUT will watch for sure.

 

[gaby]

WELL...WOMEN....ONLY 1 of the top 5 still fighting/SABALENKA......MEN we still have FRITZ---ALCARAZ and SINNER....CARLOS remains my fav.....

 

[Womaniser]

SABA--RADU today......not fair....lolll....BUT will watch for sure.

Siegemund who eliminated Leyla, did the same today with Madison Keys.
That's some consolation for Leyla lost !
