That was a compliment ! She has the most beautiful eyes on the tour, among other things.

She is a very attractive young lady btw, I dont take any notice of AP at times, he is usually tongue in cheek lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Keys and Shnaider are 2 all 2nd set
Keys needs to play with more margin especially on clay, she had chances to break early and pushed her shots
Keys good service game and leads 4-3, both ladies held so far their serves well in the 2nd set
Sasha Bejin is now coaching Shnaider
Keys breaks and will serve for the 2nd set at 5-3
Keys wins 2nd set 63 a much better 2nd set of tennis from Keys
Going 3
AP your girl is still in this match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Polish players are doing well this year at RG
Chwalinska from Poland wins the 1st set 63 over Parry

She reminds me of my friend

Oh You know I am dialed in Miss Margaret.. she is definitely a hotty... She reminds of this lady I met in college that was a friend of my classmate. They both had those dark eyes that looks straight thru a man's soul. The first time I saw that tall red haired Italian lady I was so smitten, I walked thru my friend's stereo system glass case cover. Well she was a model and up & coming actress.. Well, let's just say I became he biggest fan while she was (I defer to the last part of the prior sentence)

Madison has 2 BPs, Shnaider saves 1 with a good first set, again with a good 1st set
Shnaider holds tough early in the 3rd set
Keys with a DF and Diana breaks
Diana backs up the break with a hold to love
Diana leads 3-0
Madison with UFE creeping into her game at present, she is down 1 break already cant afford another break
Diana breaks as Keys fhand long
Diana has a double break now and leads 4-0
Diana leads 5-0 and is one game away from her 1st QF at a major

Keys is absolutely Pathetic !!

Madison played well in the 2nd set she won 63, it is the UFE in the 3rd set that has been her downfall sad to say

Sabalenka and Osaka match just started
Osaka to serve first
Actually Osaka off to a good start and breaks Saba in her service game
This feel more like players wanting to be a hard court match than a clay one
Saba has to control her emotions, not like last year at RG
Saba in great fashion breaks back immediately
3 aces for Saba and consolidiates
2 all
Both ladies wanting to be on the front foot soo far and dictate the points
4 games all
5 games all, feel this will go to a TB for the 1st set
Well Saba broke Osaka, whose serve went off
Saba will serve for the 1st set 6-5
Saba with an Ace to close out the 1st set 75
Saba found an extra level at the back hand of this 1st set

Not at night, Osaka's serve get neutralized, better for her to play Saba in the day time
Saba's serve has been On Song
Osaka got rocked off her feet by one of Saba's serve lol!
Saba a easy service game
Quite frankly this is like a hard court match not like a clay court match at all sad to say
Both players are playing first strike tennis
Saba playing power with control
Saba has to keep moving Osaka around the court
Saba with BP as Osaka bh long
Osaka snuffs out the BP deuce
Osaka with an Ace and holds
Saba is just serving soo well, yet to dip, of course when I type she DFs lol!
3 games all
Wow just Wow what a way to break from Saba she produces this level, her variety has paid off in spades great volley at net from Saba
Saba to serve at 4-3
Saba with her 12th Ace off her second serve, she hasnt dropped her level this is Saba at her best !
Saba leads 5-3 and won the 1st set 75
Saba with MP
Sabalenka d Osaka 75 63
That was one of the best matches I have seen Saba play she just sent a huge message to the rest of the field
Well done Saba just top draw!

Caught the end of the match! A TikTok vid showed Osaka's entrance in that garish gold gown! I remember when fashion came into play w/ Ted Tinling designing for Court, Navratilova, & King! The most extreme outfit back then had BJK requesting a coat b/c she thought it w/b cold at Wimbledon that yr.; 1983! She had returned to Single's comp., retiring in '75 after her Wimbledon win over Goolagong! Ted created a floor length white coat which she wore onto Centre Court getting thru to the SF at age 39, dropping a straight set match to Andrea Jaeger!

Oh please stop going on with the tour ages ago, keep with the present tour which is 2026!
Saba was too strong for Osaka if you watched whole match!
Least we dont have to watch those ugly outfits that Osaka wore, Ted Tingling would not get a job designing the womens tour in 2026 LOL!
