Makedonas 2,086 Posted July 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I'm not at all surprised that Kenin beat Gauff. They even had Gauff on all of the tournament posters. They really need to calm down with all this hype. She's just not that good (at the moment, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,137 Posted July 4, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Yeah, US media jumped on Gauff as the "next Serena' after she beat past prime Venus in 2019 and she has like the worst record versus Top 50 ranked players in the Top 10. She is Kirk Cousins of WTA and not Joe Montana but she's regressed enough even ESPN can't really pretend she's anything close to a GS winner. The fact Wimbledon put her on all the posters besides Serena & Steffi Graf is mind-boggling but the hype ain't gonna win you matches. Not to mention Gauff's forehand is tragic and anyone who can play to that side will eventually break it down. Anyway, major rain delay today, several matches have been cancelled already including Sakkari vs Kostyuk @Makedonas Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 2,086 Posted July 4, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I even saw an advertisement for Wimbledon a few days ago, I don't remember if it was from Eurosport or ESPN or what, and they had just Djokovic and Gauff on it... I mean Swiatek, Sabalenka, Rybakina, even Venus Williams I would understand. Gauff though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,137 Posted July 4, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 4, 2023 This is the official 2023 Wimbledon poster. Yikes. At least Alcaraz has won a GS already In case TF people don't know, it's Pete Sampras on far right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 4,137 Posted July 5, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 5, 2023 More rain. At this rate some R1 matches won't start until Thursday Wimbledon didn't close the roof on the show courts because they somehow hoped it will only be a mere shower so there's a delay on the roof courts as well. What a shambles. Just fuck with the tradition and put as many matches as you can but I presume those morons living in 19th century will claim the audience paid to see only the best known names so who cares about the rest?

Monzanator 4,137 Posted July 5, 2023 #19 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Play has resumed. Looks like those Wimbledon morons finally came to their senses and cancelled all R2 matches on outside courts today so R1 could be completed first. Meanwhile Darya Kasatkina is into R3 already, losing only two games vs Jodie Burrage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,137 Posted July 5, 2023 #20 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Marta Kostyuk beats Maria Sakkari 0-6 7-5 6-2. Another epic GS failure from Sakkari Makedonas and thepharoah 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
