Fantastic turn around for CoCo.. the last 7 points of that tbr her tennis IQ was outstanding.. I like how much overall variety is in her game. The Slice, change of pace, drop shots.. body serve is very nice.. That's how you play grass court strategic tennis.. @SERENADAGOAT
I have always said AP Coco has the game for grass, sometimes in my opinion she dosent play aggressive tennis and plays defense too much, on grass, you have to be aggressive with control or otherwise goodnight :)

I watched the second half of the Serena match. She was a bit rusty, but looked surprisingly good. Even though she's struggling, Joint is essentially a top 30 talent, and Serena was right there with her. With a bit more match time, I think she could at least be competitive against top 10 players.

That said, I question whether, at 44, she could win the 7 matches in a row required to win a Slam. I'd like to see her play Washington or Memphis, then probably Cincinnati, before the USO. Throw off the rust and build up her game. On one hand, it is hard imagining her beating a Sabalenka or Swiatek, or even Gauff/Rybakina/Andreeva; on the other, none of the top players are unbeatable, and all have some degree of question mark. So now's a good time to do what she's doing.

I just don't understand! Most people are trying to push a 39 yr. old Novak off the tour w/ live Top 10 pts., but at the very same time the world's craving a 44 yr. old mother of 2 who hasn't played in 4 yrs. to come back! Even though the man has slowed down, he's accomplishing something along the way every time he goes out on the court! Serena's only stroking her ego! I'll say the same about any player wasting a spot in a draw; Murray, Wawrinka, Monfils, or whoever is "past it!" :astonished-face::yawningface::fearful-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:

Krejcikova serving for the 2nd set 5-4 against Andreeva broken, back on serve in the 2nd set, Mirra to serve at 4-5
5 games all 2nd set
Mirra will now serve to force a TB for the 2nd set 5-6
Babs returns in this 2nd set is giving fits to Mirra and she has 3 SPs
Krejcikova wins the 2nd set 75
Going 3, I thought this match up will be a test for Andreeva
Krekcikova serving for the match at 5-3

There you go Mirra finally breaks and I wondered how Babs will react seeing she was serving for the match?

Mid way last year if Mirra was playing this match she would have lost she has grown soo much in 2026 especially her fight and focus that was evident at RG when she won the GS title
