@@dominicakenu4450 Your lack of knowledge of recent WTA tennis is uncontested. Somebody has some real sour grapes. This is the strongest the WTA has been since at least the early 2010's. Every era has injuries, retirements, and newcomers, noob. Also, didn't the other players on the tour, including those years older than her w/ much mor experience, have the same opportunities to win those titles she has? Funny how they didn't. You'd think a superior player won them instead. It's the darndest thing.

Christian, thank you for your intelligent, balanced analysis of the Rome 2024 final between Swiatek and Sabalenka. Both players are superb athletes and competitors. But Iga appears to be on a transcendent course in tennis history.

Iga and Aryna both mentioned the dropshot thing in their post-final interviews and said how it's not that easy to hit a dropshot when you play with such speed and depth that they do. So Aryna couldn't really hit a good dropshot against Iga because of the way she plays. You gotta have an opportunity to do that.

Congratulations to my fave Iga on winning the Madrid -Rome double! While I am excited that she won her Rome title I am concerned about defending Roland Garros! Playing seven grand slam matches is hard and I’m concerned about overall durability when she plays her first match at Paris. Once the draw comes out this Thursday, we can see how she will fare. We should watch out for Coco, Sabalenka, maybe Elena and maybe see how Osaka and Kerber hold up.

@@dominicakenu4450 Maybe as plagued as Ms Rybakina. You can’t compare the sports from the different decades, every sport evolves and more data to improvement is available. Like in Iga’s case, her physiotherapist who is also physiotherapist for few track&field athletic in the international level, gets ordered pack of information about Iga’s movements and reaction times throughout the match. If it’s just a question of the weaker day or it will show up as a consistent, then they will improve that area in so called micro doses, as you can’t make huge leap during the season. So there is so much science now involved that I believe Ms Serena, no question so far the best female tennis player in her era, Steffi Graf in 90’s. Respect for the both players and other historical big names but nowadays the sport and tennis is more and more demanding.

Good point on the drop shots. It's a much improved weapon of hers and she was hitting really well in that tournament. I think some of why she didn't use it more vs. Iga was one, Iga's great speed and court coverage, but also Iga just keeping the ball so deep that Aryan would've had to try more drop shots from near the baseline, which is not the best play.

Iga can be stopped on clay but it’s going to be the toughest on slower clay like Rome and especially RG Philippe Chartrier Court with even bigger runway behind the baseline. If anyone gonna beat her on clay, it’s gotta be the faster clay like Rybakina on Stuttgart or Aryna almost did on Madrid. Unless Iga is injured and has to retired mid match circa Rome 2023, then RG is going to be crazy difficult to stop her even more so than Rome.

Don’t count Rybakina out. She made Iga pick up an injury last year in Rome, and she was forced to retire. Elena can frustrate Iga if they meet, and all the pressure will be on Iga. Look at what she did at Stuttgart this year. Iga was the 5-1 favourite in that match. Sabalenka tried twice and failed, but on Elena's first attempt, she defeated Iga. Worse, her previous rounds in that tournament were all in 3 sets, while Iga finished in straight sets, but she still got the job done. Last year, She was asked what surface she preferred playing Iga and said she doesn’t mind whatever surface they meet because she knows she has the game to defeat anyone in whatever surface. She even said the courts in Roland Garros are her favourite.

Elena is the one who gets the job done, to be honest. The rest of the field finds it challenging to adjust their games when things don’t go as planned, but not the Kazakh and her Coach, who is never lacking what to say whenever she’s down or tight. She sacrificed Rome to be fit for Roland Garros because she has a mission (if you think she was sick, then you’re slow). I can’t wait for the draw to be out. H2h since the start of 2023 4-1 Elena…if anyone thinks Sabalenka and Gauff are Iga’s competition, then you’re living in a bubble 🫧 2 losses on clay comes from Rybakina or, let’s say 1 loss and 1 retirement. Still, it was the fact that Elena was moving Iga around like some new TikTok dance move that caused her to pick up an injury and retire.
