Aryna Sabalenka spoke to a psychologist after her Roland Garros loss, good thinking, Aryna previously had worked with a sports psychologist a few years ago.Lets see how she goes at Wimbledon she has the game to win, she has always worn her heart on her sleeve, and has let her emotions get in the way at the worst time, eg in her match against Shnaider that was a 'complete mental let down' seeing she was leading 4-1 and then mentally collapsed.

This is terrible news about Mboko. I was considering going back to the USO this year, but I wanted to see her among some of the other youngsters.

Yes Keli,
Vicky hasnt played many grass court tournaments, the grass was slippery, not worn in and she has a history of knee injuries in the past, thank goodness it is not season ending like Hilary Bapstise who had to have surgery earlier this month

Wimbledon announced they gave the Williams sisters a wild card for doubles. It will be nice seeing them compete together again. I find it odd that Serena wouldnt have played a few matches with Venus before the announcement if that was the intention.

Together, they will go out early. I think the intention was for both to play with younger partners. It's likely, Mboko's injury has caused them to shift things a bit.

I don’t have a clue what Serena is doing and Keli is correct they will get wiped off the court by a younger team. The two of them could have found dozens of younger other players that can cover for them. Well when will we know if Serena is going to play singles ?
