MM @MargaretMcAleer I think I have a new favorite side chick besides my two poly tennis wives Alycia Parks and Elena Rtybakina.. I love me sum Jovic.. She is going to win a major real soon.. Not a bad life for me a Poly type of marriage and a side chick.. Life is good for Ole AP

Jovic is a up and coming young player with upside, also she had a good win over the No 2 seed today in Amanda Anisimova

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW,
With Jovic's 3 set win over Amanda Anisimova, Mirra Andreeva will re -enter the Top5 in the WTA rankings on Monday!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In the QF match between Rybakina v Boutler
Going 3, Boutler won the 1st set 75 and Rybakina 2nd set 62
Raducanu v Rakhimova QF match still to come, though I doubt if the match will be completed seeing Rybakina v Boutler match has gone 3 sets

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rybakina really needs to learn how to handle slices? at least she brought her fhand to this match, unlike the clay season especially at RG this year she left it in the locker room Meh!, Elena's return of serve needs improvement
Is Elena aware the No 1 ranking is a stake during the grass season?

Well done to Katie Boulter d Rybakina (1) 75 26 64 came back from being down 26 in the 2nd set, reset and kept up her level in the 3rd set to win

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Confirmation the QF match between Raducanu vs Rakhimova has been cancelled for the day will be played tomorrow Saturday 13th June

Rybakina seem to loose interest in the match when she slipped in the near twilight of the 3rd set.. She had to be tired and she looks good to me for Wimbledon.. remember she has not played any tennis matches in three week. two matched today that lasted over two hours apiece is exhausting

Well she has the game to win Wimbledon, still she has to be able to handle slices and her ROS needs improvement
The No 1 ranking is also at stake during the grass season,
BTW No player should loose interest no matter the conditions, if a match has to go the distance

Elena's overall game has dipped since she won the AO this year., where I was live at the SFs and the final
Elena's clay season was One Hot Mess, fhand didnt appear, her lack of movement was exposed
Elena as I said has the game to at Wimbledon along with a few others on my list

I am saying that the late with the night time dew on the grass surface, I dont think Elena wanted to risk it because both players slipped and she lost interest in trying to run down everything in fear of getting injured... I hope that explains what my meaning of lost interest

It has dropped since IW and Miami.. she will be aight

Lets see she is playing Berlin, Sabalenka is the No 1 seed of course, Sabalenka another player that can win Wimbledon, hopefully she is out of her Mental Funk
Andreeva another player that can play on grass, maybe she could have a let down after winning RG
Muchova can play on grass, if she can stay healthy, if Coco can get her game together she can play on grass
I have a Huge Question mark on Iga the defending champion, now with Fissette not coaching her, and her serve needs attention ASAP and her mental ability at the moment is 100% Stressed, Fissette got Iga to play out of her Comfort Zone, one of the main reasons she won Wimbledon last year,

Well Katie didnt lose interest to me, grass is slippery at present, not been played on much and going in to the night gets worse
Poor Vicky Mboko had a bad fall and now is out of Wimbledon because of the slippery grass, another left knee injury

I did not indicate that Katie lost interest in the match

Regardless Katie deserved her win and Elena's level of play has dipped after the AO, she was woeful in the clay season, her game suits grass, lets see how she fares in Berlin

Another thing I dont like is Elena's coach talking non stop when she plays, telling her what to do?
Another coach that talks non stop is Marta Kostyuks coach, telling where to stand and what shot to play both coaches should wear Muzzles as far as I am concerned
It is Spoon feeding players, especially at this level,though the WTA has allowed this Farce, the coaches will take advantage and so will the players

They poisoned the games by allowing coaching in game!

Exactly, I never thought I see the day they allowed coaching, to make matters worse it is now allowed in the ATP MEH!

Queens QF Highlights

 

[the AntiPusher]

the US women might retake over WTA. If Kenin could sneak in and steal a slam , I can easily see Jovic, Anisomova(my mixed doubles favorite player which I am not allowed to say anything negative about her game..jeez..I have less issues with my wife than I do with my mix doubles partners). Coco, Keys and Jess P are gonna be a factor for the next 3 years..Hailey Baptiste if she recovers is on the come up.
