As strong as she's looked so far tho Iga wants zero part of Mirra in the semis, that girl really is a phenom

 

[BlackAchilles]

Some absolute slobberknockers in the women's semis

Melbourne final rematch and Iga vs Mirra

 

[BucciMane]

Time for Sabalenka to get it done. Get that revenge.

 

[BlackAchilles]

This match has Bret Hart vs Steve Austin at WM 13 energy

Wild to me that a US crowd is cheering the Russian over Iga

Let a 17 year old be your mom PolBrehettes

Big Lenka not coming up off that #1 ranking for a minute

Might be the year Andreeva makes a serious run in a Slam.

She's 17. It's not like she's dictating Russian policy.

Iga isn't liked like that

In truth she's not very likeable

Credit to Andreeva though, she's the real deal.

It doesn't sound like she has friends on tour. Same with Qinwen.

Not even talking bout that. You would think the more known, more accomplished player would have more support. It's also not like Mirra is some out of nowhere player on an otherworldly run where the crowd gets behind her as the underdog...she's a prodigy putting it altogether. So I think this ties into this next point.

Yea...I think unlikeable is a bit strong but she definitely isn't someone that I get the sense other WTA are in a rush to hang wit.

It def sounds like Aryna respects and appreciates her as a rival

But Iga also doesn't have a crew on tour like Aryna does w/Ons and Paula and she kinda has that "intense loner" type of vibe

 

[BlackAchilles]

Aryna didn't forget Melbourne

 

[BlackAchilles]

Midvedev is cooked as a contender on the tour

Gatekeeper at best now
