the knee-jerk reaction to ascribe every single tennis injury to The Sport needs to be tempered just a little bit

tournaments should not grant wild cards to top-5 / top-10 players whose ranking has dropped prodigiously due to injury because it adds another layer of inequality to tennis

it's very funny that the advent of elc on clay, after an era in which everyone accepted that players and umpires sometimes got the wrong marks, has translated into always assuming players circle the correct mark when elc is "wrong"

in the second-set tiebreak, zverev hit five first serves, three T and two wide (both deuce). sinner kept return pos. tighter to baseline after trying all kinds of spots before that. none of the five serves scared the lines. sinner middled returns and won four of five points

zverev was the player assuming all the risk in that set, sinner playing the solidity role. serve makes that an entirely viable strategy but he'll have to raise it now

in sports as in life, it is rare that something can categorically never happen again. the chaotic, carnivalesque 2001 men's final between goran ivanišević and pat rafter, delayed a day by rain, can never happen again. @cdeccleshare nytimes.com/athletic/74373…

it won't come out in the wash in his wider career whatsover but zverev has definitely improved his aggressiveness and flat-track bully skills in the past year, which is a helpful thing at majors

in the greatest instance of tennis nominative determinism for some time, anna pushkareva is currently competing in the girls' singles

she found clarity so well in the tiebreak in all departments, especially after the volley she could have left. the final point was constructed in essentially the same way which takes a whole lot of trust
James Hansen@jameskhansen

this match has been largely different to all their others but one constant is muchová making ropey decisions in attack because of gauff's ability to defend, veering from over-aggressive to too safe when she has open space

muchová level has just dropped but especially on return — got spooked by some brilliant but high-risk second serves and has ceded too much ground on both first and second now

if pegula wants to win this match she needs to turn it into a grass match. toes on baseline, shots on the rise, early strikes. gauff is forcing a slow and cagey baseline contest — no doubt they are also both nervous — and pegula is never winning that

gauff essentially playing anti-grass by hanging back and letting the heat / dry surface take heavy topspin. pegula standing a bit too deep behind the baseline for the most part and not taking the ball on the rise
