Who can STOP Swiatek from winning Gold? Paris Olympics 2024 Tennis Preview

[@ChristiansCourt]

a couple things i didn’t mention: 1. There’s the possibility of Iga succumbing to the pressure of being the big favorite and winning for her country. She’s had emotional moments at the 2021 Tokyo Games and both United Cups 👀 2. Coco will be playing singles, doubles AND mixed so with all that tennis she could encounter burnout 😮‍💨

[@risingstar4660]

Also she hasn't competed much since Roland Garros. Only 3 matches on grass. Too much time off. She might be stale. Don't have a good feeling about how she'll perform.

[@valkyrafe]

You wouldn't believe if I told you a werk ago that Qinwen would beat Iga. Wow!

[@marionsmith4728]

Iga to win definitely, she has won 4 French opens and also won Rome and Madrid this year clay is her surface,and she could go on to emulate Rafa,so Go Iga Go

[@philyhai]

No, Zheng Queen Wen beat her.

[@bridgetndlovu9880]

Love the memes at the beginning So happy of Coco becoming the holder of the flag in the opening ceremony

[@lucylu-xd9ts]

go IGA!

[@deusexmachina9776]

Coco playing singles doubles and mixed doesnt seem like a big deal, just look at her physicality she will be fine. I think the williams sisters did it, doubles doesnt take that much time, it can be treated as a practice session.

[@trommelbiel]

I think Coco is still young and physically fit to handle it. She is also not prone to injury so it shouldn't affect her adversely. I just pray she comes back with a medal 🙏

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

My favorite player! 👍😍

[@user-kq3tz5xe9e]

Iga❤❤

[@Lederius18]

Aside from Iga, Coco is probably the best clay courter out there. In the last 5 years at RG, she has only lost to the winner of the tournament. I think she will make it to the final round. I agree Iga will most likely win as clay is her surface and she is not playing other disciplines. Still rooting for Coco puff all the way. I do think you have it wrong here with Ostapenko. She has had a really solid season and I see her at least making it to the QF. I would LOVE to see her vs Swiatek on clay.

NOBODY can stop IGA from winning the Gold Medal!!!!!!!

Qinwen maybe?

[@victormendez8811]

@@valkyrafe Well!! Qinwen beat Iga in an impressive manner and If she wins a Gold medal I will also be happy with that result! I have been a Tennis fan for over 45 years and the love for the sport goes beyongd the logic of the results!!

[@akamanniefreshable]

No one is going to stop her. Closest match would be Coco but she would need a Forehand and Serve before the tournament starts

[@JamarHerrod]

So as a Iga fan I definitely think no one is stopping her on clay. But I do want to remain neutral and see how things progress for Iga with each match. Now considering this is the Olympics I am torn with this decision because I do want one or two of the Americans to medal. Coco will have to have her A game ready and I wish all the American women the best of luck at the Games! Meanwhile we do want to observe the DC draw when it comes out and see how the other Americans who didn’t participate on clay do on hardcourt. It will give a preview to how some of the top players do as we approach the final slam of the year at the US Open.

[@yolandasmith3447]

I can't see Iga not winning the gold medal 🎉 She will be fresh, focused, and unstoppable. If she doesn't win gold that will be the upset of the century 😮 For me silver and bronze are up for grabs. I like your picks. 😊 Emma is very consistent, and cool under pressure. I believe the ladies will be ready to play, and the upside for Coco is a lot of the top 10 are not playing. I will definitely be cheering Coco on to medal. I am so happy she gets to be a flag bearer for the Olympics! Congratulations Coco!!! She will be fresh too. She is used to playing a lot of tennis. I feel it helps her. I also feel her strategy is to win at least 2 medals. I have to Google who she is playing with in mixed doubles 😂 I didn't know she playing mixed doubles too. Glad to know Gilbert will not be in town. My other picks for possible medals are Collins, Paolini, and Zheng. Ostapeneka has the game to medal but she needs a mental coach. I believe she is her worst enemy. 😔Others I will be cheering on is Naomi Osaka 🎉 She may have missed her chance for a medal. 😔

[@marjoriedudley3411]

I’m rooting for Coco but don’t sleep on Paolini

[@lylethaparker9453]

I agree with your predictions.❤❤

[@ChefRo_19]

She’s my girl, however, Coco is not making it to the second week. Her style of play with no strategy tactic will always be her down fall. I feel she needs to take a break from doubles and really progress in her game, especially her forehand. She needs to drop down from being number 2. Even though she says she doesn’t care about the rankings it’s just a number, she really needs that boost of to expanding another level, maybe new couch? Just my opinion.

[@deusexmachina9776]

Iga not only has pressure from being a clay queen but family pressure cuz her dad failed to get a medal, fulfiling a parent's dream maybe the thing that costs her cuz her RG slams are just for herself. Schnider won a 500 grass title and a 250 clay title next week, she may cause trouble for Iga. Ostapenko would defeat Iga but it is hard to rely on her to reach the QFs. Noskova didnt build the consistency needed to take out Iga, she tends to fade away after AO swing, fitness is still not where it needs to be and no title yet this year reminds me of young Sabalenka and Kvitova.

[@trommelbiel]

Paolini seems to be the most focused of them all. She has to be the strong contender for a medal. I don't know if Coco should continue to work with Brad.

[@S_Gilbert0908]

Rooting for Coco! I was under the impression that coaches don’t tend to travel to the Olympics, at least for USA, as Kathy Rinaldi is the coach for the US Women’s Tennis Team.

[@keithcampbell6806]

Good afternoon l think you should've done your homework before posting. I have absolutely nothing against Miss Gauff but note these facts. Miss Gauff has never been ranked number one in her sport. To have her be the flag bearer ahead of reigning world champions and other females being number one in their event. This to me is not fair for Miss Gauff to be the flag bearer ahead of those athletes who have achieved mor

[@dayzour123]

It’s never easy for women to comeback from pregnancy it literally changes their game Serena is perfect example of it her and kim were the only ones who played at a higher level after pregnancy but Kim succeeded but she waited three years after. my opinion during that time when Kim returned, the competition wasn’t at a high-level the Williams sisters up and down with injuries.

[@deusexmachina9776]

Serena was in her late 30s Kim was in her 20s - it is no brainer who could recover faster. Also Serena wasnt willing to put in the work when she came back, she was constantly out of shape, Kim's got back into shape, heck Kerber looks amazing now. Williams wasnt playing a full schedule. she was expecting to show up and beat younger girls who were putting in the work year round. If she had just concentrated on tennis, pushed her businesses aside, played more tournaments and got to finals outside slams and played top players in those finals i believe she would have overcome her nerves and won titles.
