Neah, she had her worst season since 2021. Not good enough.

I get it but that's average Sunday Joe thinking. If not for Wimbledon Iga's season would be downright terrible by her standards.

Ok, guys. That’s it. That’s enough.

Don't understand your thinking. Tennis overall has gone into "only GS matter" mentality especially on the WTA side. That's the product of Wozniacki/Jankovic/Safina holding #1 ranking without winning a GS. Sadly of lot of sports in the last decade is chasing the mythical new Gen Z fans and goes for business & entertainment over the actual sport. Athletics, F1, you name it.
