Iga Swiatek vs Anna Kalinskaya Semi Final | WTA Dubai 2024

[@DonyorAbaquita]

kalinskaya is so relax and hititng the ball flatter with volume. Swiatek still played a competitive game with heavy spins....

Anna gets way too much attention for her looks, but it's her game that is so impressive. I've seen her lose many matches due to inconsistencies, but ahe was focused and very calm vs Iga. Iga's pattern of going for desperate winners when pressed is already quite predictable. Anna us really coming along now.

Definitely one the biggest upsets of last season 😳😳🎆🦋🦃🎂🎂🎂🎂♥️ But this what Kalinskya can do when she's not hobbled by injury which she was the previous season and plus her relationship with her coach is quite solid which also helps 🙂🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟✌️😎🌆🎮🦋⭐ Expect her to have really solid 2025 if both trends hold 💵🙂♥️

[@Madbootdestruction]

Ana was magnificent! Iga struggling to find her groove ever since the doping incident.

I hoped, that this year WTA/ATP/ITF, would stop this nonsense of mixing sport with politics. Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag. One cannot choose the country of one's birth. Appointing "flag police" at tennis tournaments is not even childish... it is embarrassing and insane... Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen. Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian, UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag? USA invaded Iraq in 2003 and yet their flag was still allowed at the World Cup 2006 in Germany and 2010 in South Africa despite the fact they were still in Iraq. Either ban ALL flags of countries who go to war, or don't ban any of them. Interestingly enough Israeli tennis players Mika Buchnik and Guy Sasson are allowed to play under the national flag in AO 2024 despite the policy of their government towards Palestinians in Gaza. *** All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others.

well spoken

Unfortunately sport and politics are intermeshed. Russia will show her sports people winning competitions as it shows itself as strong and as an accepted member of the world community. This is not the image we want Russia to portray to it's people. Banning it's sports people from playing shows everyday Russians that their countries behaviour is not accepted. Perhaps individual players could be allowed to play if they wear shirts showing supporting Ukraine.

@@mikebikekite1 That's right: "All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others." *** Please, do some homework regarding origins of this civil war between Ukrainians who support the 2014 putsch (backed by the West) and the Ukrainianz opposing it (backed by RF). I have relatives fighting on both sides. *** Here in Odessa we are afraid of being hunted down by the Zelensky's press gangs, who forcibly "recruit" 25-60 year old men (possibly 18-24 very soon) in our streets, shopping malls, restaurants, fitness clubs public transport, roadblocks... and - recently in night clubs, pubs and even at the rock concerts. The only men not press ganged into Ukrainian Army are relatives of politicians and ... grave diggers. I rest my case. Привіт Тобі з окупованої бандерівською сволотою Одеси

[@fredrit323]

Well, you are spot on , the trouble is that all major sporting events around the world are organised, directed and sponsored by western entities that are clearly biased against Russia, which in this case, is the bad guy that needs to be punished....

Iga must have not been doping then, because on a normal day she would have beaten Kalinskaya.
