This French woman boisson is brolic as hell. Just bullying andreeva.

To be fair, Coco was elite in that third set. She's plays like that for the rest of the week and she'll win it all.

Anything is possible, but you can't bank on her playing like she did in the third set for the rest of the week. She has too many mental mistakes and terrible second serves.

It's like saying if Sabalenka never has some mental breakdowns on the court that she'd 100% win it all. You can't bank on it.


One ace and TEN double faults? That's not going to come close to getting it done against Iga/Sabalenka.



Edit: Coco has the talent and she's still very young, but she still makes FAR too many mistakes that a top player should not be making.

If Andreeva can win this match, the semi-final match-ups will be exactly what I wanted to see for the women.

You have the two top players in Sabalenka/Iga going head to head, and then the young guns in Coco/Andreeva.


Andreeva is looking like she might be about to be on the ropes here though.........

Mira getting put in the pressure cooker right now...reminds me of the French crowd making Hingis cry

 

[charknicks]

This French crowd is getting on Andreeva, and her 18 year old emotions are kicking in. She launched a ball into the crowd after missing an easy volley

 

[Liu Kang]

Andreeva had a big mental break down in the middle of the set and hadn't been able to get back into it. She's still young and it shows.

This Amelie Mauresmo clone got that home cooking. Crazy that she’s a qualifier.

 

[Nero Christ]

Home cooking in what sense ? I don't recall there being controversial calls

Coco needs to jump on her early or that crowd is gonna get rough.

Rome crowd when she played Paolini shoulda prepared her for what's ahead...so if she can't handle this one against a qualifier

The one baseline call that was initially called in then out was somewhat controversial. However, in general home cooking meaning the crowd was gettin in her ass.

Bublik has NO belief out there and honestly it wouldn’t matter; Sinner’s too sublime right now
