Tennis season 2020-2021

[gaby]

HUM....i watched ALIASSIME yesterday in HAMBOURG and i did not like at all what i saw....a lot of garbage in his play...and same lately.
I understand with his lucrative contrats with major sponsors for the years to come FÉLIX ----at his young age---has decided to move in MONACO....it's pretty and glorious....lol.....but am quite sure it's not that good pour son développement....il aurait du choisir de continuer à vivre et s'entrainer ici ou l'entourage est inspirant et adéquat...ou même en Floride ou bcp de joueurs s'entrainent ...beaucoup moins de distraction----I never been a big fan of SHAPO....BUT if i have to choose between a street fighter--bagarreur de rue---and a precious player ...i will go for the one who is always ready for the battle......my 2 cents.

 

[gaby]

HAMBOURG.....interesting final tomorrow....TSITSI--RUBLEV....TSITSI will win BUT i like the young Russian.

STRASBOURG...great win in final by SVITO....very happy for her....sweet sweet girl.

 

[gaby]

Ready for ROLAND-GARROS it starts tomorrow...with finalement only 1,000 spectateurs.

BOUCHARD is on tomorrow.....same for GAUFF and VENUS.

WAWRINKA --MURRAY..interesting BUT WAW.. will win.

Enjoy these 2 weeks,

 

[gaby]

Easy win for HALEP.....big win for COCO in 2 sets vs KONTA...and a win for BOUCHARD in 2 sets.....VENUS is out....c'est triste de la voir s'accrocher ainsi MAIS c'est sa vie.

Easy win also for WAWRINKA in 3 little sets....c'était à prévoir.

3 CANADIAN on tomorrow....Félix , Steven Diez??? from Toronto...he is 29 et sa première participation à un Major.....good luck my friend.....and Leylah Fernandez.

 

[gaby]

..just watched Félix.....again he lost in 3 little sets 7-5, 6-3,6-3.....i tought i saw the worst in ROME and HAMBOURG BUT no today was horrible....pas de service, beaucoup de fautes directes....garbage garbage garbage....un junior would have played better....in the next coming weeks---months he will have to think SERIOUSLY about big change in his life et dans son entourage.......even if he just signed another big lucrative contrat with BNP PARIBAS...... c'est beaucoup de distraction à son jeune âge....et la belle vie dorée---golden life--est rarement compatible avec l'effort exigeant que demande l'entraînement intensif pour accéder aux plus hauts sommets et jouer au plus haut niveau......again my 2 cents.

 

[gaby]

..and big money means big publicity leading to big big pressure to perform on regular basis...at 20 are you really ready to deal with ???.....it could bring not only distraction BUT big nervosity.....and it was all there today.

 

[gaby]

Oh wow...pleasant surprise ...just watched LEYLAH... slow starter 1-6, BUT after in full control 6-2, 6-3,........was not expecting her to win vs ranked 38 LINETTE...LEYLAH is really the queen of drop shot..lol....it's her style ...her body langage is unique and a winning one..always full of energy......bravo young and sweet girl....

Busy day tomorrow pour nos Canadiens....POSPISIL ....SHAPO and BOUCHARD all at work....EUGÉNIE to move third round....let's go.

 

[gaby]

POSPISIL lost in 3 sets BUT big win for SHAPO over SIMON in 4 sets....so SHAPO---LEYLAH--BOUCHARD move to second round . EUGÉNIE is on tomorrow.

Impressive win today for both RUBLEV and TSITSI.....they lost first 2 sets BUT won in 5....wow....ca c'est du caractère et de la détermination....bravo.

 

[gaby]

Oh surprise....SERENA déclare forfait and AZA is out.....it will b again at the end a dual PLISKOVA--HALEP....i pick SIMONA to win.....another great win today for BOUCHARD in 3 sets moving to third round .

 

[gaby]

NADAL---ZVEREV--THIEM-- WAWRINKA....all move to third round......same for HALEP, my fav.to win----SVITOLINA and BOUCHARD......sorry for GAUFF, she lost in 3sets...2 doubles fautes-service à 6-5----3ème set---lui ont fait très mal.....c'est le métier qui rentre...

SHAPO et LEYLAH at work tomorrow.....très tôt à notre heure....go go.

 

[gaby]

Oh boy....i just watched SHAPO et LEYLAH ...they were playing at the same time....lot of zapping....lol.
Amère et cruelle défaite de SHAPO en 5 sets ---5hres de jeu---il menait 6-5 au 5ème pour finalement perdre 8-6...a tough one.....mais avec plus de 100 fautes directes et plusieurs doubles fautes il a creusé sa tombe......les joueurs espagnols on clay sont
difficiles à vaincre -très tenaces et encore une fois nous en avons eu la preuve.
Meilleur résultat pour LEYLAH ...étonnamment elle a vaincu la détestable HERCOG en 3 sets and moves third round.....bravo young girl.
Bravo also KENIN ......SURPRISE PLISKO is out......and sloppy SLOANE also........so go HALEP.

 

[gaby]

BOUCHARD lost in 2 sets .....so the only CANADIAN still remaining is little energizer FERNANDEZ.......HALEP...wow... 6-0.6-1....on fire......and victoire also for SVITO....they will très probablement play in semis.

 

[gaby]

ZVEREV---THIEM---NADAL with a walk in the park.....all won today.....
LEYLAH will play KVITOVA tomorrow seeded 7....big big challenge.... go LEYLAH........MUGU vs COLLINS.....MUGU is playing much better lately.....she will win.

 

[EagerBeaver]

SI just profiled Leylah:

Kennisgeving voor omleiding

 

[gaby]

Interestig profil.....it says well where she is coming from......et le rôle important de ses parents dans sa vie et notamment celui de son père comme coach....pas toujours facile à concilier.....

Et surtout an inspiration for players with little stature......so she is at work tomorrow......wish her the best.

 

[gaby]

Wow....KENIN just won 6-2-6-0....another great story...child prodigy coming in US at young age with family with little money....also une histoire vraiment inspirante.....she is now ranked #6 ......always fun to watch her playing...une autre boule d'énergie.

So LEYLAH and MUGU will b on later today....much to enjoy...

 

[gaby]

Not my day...Lille LEYLAH lost in 2 sets 7-5,6-3......she was leading 5-1 in the first BUT it was a Junior vs a Senior-Champ......so it was previsible.....learning process et elle va encore améliorer son ranking ....and i like KVITOVA...serious and calm lady.
MUGU lost in 3 sets....je suis vraiment désappointé....j'attendais plus d"elle.

Another good and easy day for DJOKO and TSITSI...they will have rvous soon.....BUT young RUBLEV won also....i like him....could b a maker trouble ...i hope he will.

 

[gaby]

Oh boy big surprise this morning....HALEP is out....6-1,6-2 by young 19 years old SWIATEK...wow....in one hour.....la même qui a défait BOUCHARD...she is on fire .

 

[gaby]

Oufff...THIEM just won in 5 sets--3h30---vs an unknown french player GASTON ranked #239 who received an invitation.....THIEM was out of gas......and ZVEREV is out.....exhausting to play 2 Gran Slams back to back......THIEM will pay the price vs NADAL qui est frais comme une rose.

 

[gaby]

Yes...KENIN in quarters ...tough first set but finally easy win......KVITOVA easy win also.....they should play each other soon....and it will b a great one.
Happy for young RUBLEV--- a win in 4 sets...he will play TSITSI in quarters.....should b an exciting one....and the winner should play DJOKO in semis....
