Naomi is not built for this shīt — along with a bunch of other players.
If her mind was right she could I’ve skated through this weak era of women’s tennis but it looks like Sabalenka is gonna be “the one” for the next couple of years.
Naomi loves the trinkets with being ok top but her conditioning seems iffy, she doesn’t handle the media well and obviously has some pressure/mental health issues.
That Serena crash out gave the media and Nike (and their other sponsors) the green light to push a clearly uncomfortable Naomi who clearly didn’t realize winning couldn’t be secondary.
Now if she was a bad bītch it wouldn’t matter because she would still get a bag and people would focus on her looks first. But she’s not that.
Can EASILY see her fading away and these first round exits aren’t cutting it unless she legit gets in the gym but also finds that killer instinct. She’s a single mom now and that kid is her priority now.
She’ll be okay. She made her $ but 0% she wins another major or even makes a deep run.
Not being harsh either because we all know there’s more to this sport than luck
I understand all that. But I don't see how it could even be considered the worst thing to happen to her. She won 4 majors and made some money. More than most players can say.

Man, the French Open is tough to get into. Just clay court tennis has no flow to it. Im sure its got to be hard as well playing on that stuff.
Tennis players in this thread- how tough is playing on clay compared to grass or hardcourts?

He’s going to join Holmes garden hand in hand with Maria Sakkari.
It's over
Serve has deteriorated and he no longer has the physical edge that his game relied upon
