Ashleigh is very talented and capable of winning big matches, so I'm not questioning the fact that she won but it's the way that she won, with a seeming collapse by Keys.  6-1 in the second...unless Keys was injured, there's no excuse of that score, after she was dominating early.  But I've noticed this about Keys years ago, when the pressure is on.

 

As for Gavrilova, I've seen her lose too many match to answer that one.

Madison’s trend line certainly isn’t going in the right direction. Hopefully she’s not injured, as her previous injuries really derailed a lot of potential momentum. But she does crumble a bit under pressure. I wonder what it will take to give her some belief.

 

I suppose Novak played them both into form in Melbourne. Lol. (I think Mitchell Krueger, who played Novak in R1 in Australia, is in the finals of the Dallas Challenger.)

I also think Medvedev is being pitched as a villain against Golden Boy Tsitsipas. Still, he can come across as a jerk, both on and off court.

Has she ever done the sports psychologist route? I would love to see more commitment to moving past those mental hurdles. She may be a lost cause, but we’ll never know if she doesn’t try.

 

She’s still very young and could have many years ahead if her body holds up.

It's all coming down to the doubles.

 

Meanwhile Mackenzie McDonald is in the Dallas Challenger final vs. Mitchell Krueger. 

Krueger is best known for playing that infamous challenger match vs. Frances Tiafoe where the sounds of that amorous couple could be heard on court.  Well, that's how I remember him anyway.

TC and that lousy ESPN+ like the ITF, ATP & WTA are just doing a big money grab.  TC didn't even have to show the Challengers from Dallas as there is a dedicated website where one can stream it for free. 

Also, if you have a streaming device like Roku, you can watch on your TV set from their Livestream Channel. Again, without a paid subscription, as long as you have the Roku box.

The Challengers on TC is just another event that will compete with, and take time away from matches from the other Tour events.  Doesn't make any sense to me.

But none of these entities/companies actually care what tennis fans and subscribers want, they care about chasing dollars.

 

 

It is a listing of who is the tenth ranked player from each country.  Who is ranked number 10.

 

For example, who is the #10 ranked player in the USA? Bradley Klahn is the 10th ranked American player.

 

Don't ask me what significance it is to see who is ranked at #10 in their respective countries (shrugs).

Tennis loves to create milestones and markers that bear no significance to anyone but stats-crazy people.
