So whats Coco missing that these 2 seem to have so far

A forehand, she has everything else but her fh isn’t fit for purpose.

Hopefully as she grows/matures that’ll be rectified

Again, rhythm is important for serving more than returning. She could have just as easily double faulted after not moving for 5 minutes with a bloody bandage all of a sudden on her leg

you are not thinking things through.

1. laylah was clearly upset and was playing the better of the two .. likely to affect her game more.
2. emma started the match better (2-0) and the second set showing perhaps that she has an advantage over laylah when warming up.
3. stakes were higher for laylah so mental effects likely greater. should emma lose the match would continue. should laylah lose the match would end.
4. laylah was in the ascendancy at the point of disturbance. breaking the direction of the game for both players benefits the subordinate player more - see time wasting and toilet break abuse discussions in tennis.
5. it's like a 10 second count in boxing. it gives the one falling behind time to sort their head out. it disrupts both boxers but the advantage is comparatively less for the one who is in the ascendancy at that point in time.

Coco won’t even be a legalized adult until March 2022. We gotta remember how young she is

Coco is a jack of all trades, master of none. Hopefully she discovers whatever aspect of her game that is Elite

It took Serena eight grand slams before she made it to her first Final. Coco is still only 17. She's still firmly on track to be an all-time great.

Daniil is 3-5 vs Djoko thought not the total mental midget, but I agree with Nole in 4

 

[Formerly known as...]

Novak giving another set away?

i see ...

 

[MillionMills]

Meddy winning this. Too much pressure on Novak

 

[Tallac]

Medvedev is winning his serve way too easily, and just like that, Djokovic lost the first set 5 straight times
