i haven't seen a dominant performance from the beginning to the end in WTA such i watched from Siwatek WOW ! only Serena is capable osf such thing that was an incredible 2 weeks from the polish youngster Congrats @rybak @Monzanator

There are other women who have been that dominant recently, for example Osaka. No one knows how close everyone is to 100 % and some players didn’t even bother to enter the competition. Personally I put an asterisk behind every result this year after the Australian Open. I don’t think that we will see girls like Trevisan or Podoroska repeating those results. Hopefully we will see everyone back at normal strength next year.

only Barty , Osaka and andreescu are missing here from the top elite group , we have a lot more players missing back in the US open , anyway only Osaka in the US open 2018 whom we can say that dominated a GS recently , i don't think there're other players that have done the same Iga did here

Yeah ... „only“ the player who won the tournament last year and is the current world number 1 (Barty), the player who won the last slam (Osaka) and the player who won the US Open last year (Andreescu). Combined they won 4 of the last 6 slams before this. Obviously it is easier to dominate when the field is weaker. First you were talking about no other player being as dominant in a single match and now you are talking about dominance over a whole tournament, so what is it. There certainly have been many players who were more dominant over a single match (slam final) and there were other players who were extremely dominant over a whole slam, for example Serena at the 2017 Australian Open.

I´d throw in Simona Halep´s 2019 Wimbledon run there as well.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
