Love, Balls and Courting: Tennis V

Recorded the last two sets because I couldn't watch it live. I'll watch it this evening.

I haven't been into women's tennis in years unfortunately! I like a consistent & reliable player at the top of the ranks which have been in flux since the days of Serena Williams! Each time an heir apparent seemed to take charge, they'd fall back or retire! It's already happened enough times w/ the likes of Osaka, Barty, now w/ Swiatek! :eek: :cautious:😱:wall: :confused:

An interesting discussion as to why Swiatek might have faltered...

 
Happy for Coco, although I do like Sabalenka too. Also loved how Coco let the ball girls and boys hold the championship 🏆 trophy after the ceremony!

Rooting for Carlos, but Jannick has the momentum on his side. The only challenge Sinner has had this whole tournament was a decent battle with Novak. He spanked everyone else.
 
The heart of grass season is in progress! This week the top players get a feel of the lawns to play the game in Halle & Queens! Sincaraz had little trouble in 1st round matches; Sinner in Germany & Alcaraz closer to Wimbledon at Queens! :grandpa: 🥳:cautious::40beers:😕
 
Unfortunately after Fritz wins tournament he loses in first round of next

It's become the norm; even w/ the top players! If they even make the Semi's, they're almost guaranteed to WD from the next event, lose in an early round, or reitre midmatch! The game has gotten so physically demanding, the speed & exersion is just too much for today's players! Back in my day, you could be older or have a beer belly, but still be ensconced in the top 20! :confused: :wall::cautious::eek::rolleyes:
