Jelena beat Simona Halep 2017 French open final. She hit Simona off the court. She is 🔥when on.

I wonder if it’s intentional. Hal parades him around to be the bad cop.

I know. I was making a point about the tendency of some female players to think they need to emulate Sharapova’s on Court attitude. Sorry if I didn’t clarify the obvious and give you some superior thing you need to express

I couldn't possibly agree with you more. I don't follow tennis at all, but this has been happening in the NFL especially (you could say it's always been like this l, but the point stands).
Take Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes for example. Both seemingly very likeable people who have the ability to play at the highest level in their field. I also don't have a team that's a rival with them, so I'm not biased to hate them lol
However I dread watching them nowadays because the announcers won't stop hyping them up and talking about how "Any play could be the greatest play ever with guys like this!" and "Oh man, everything they do is so unprecedented! They make it look so easy, so it'll only get better!" until you eventually find yourself rooting for them to fail. The announcers deify them until they're completely unrelatable and unfun to watch, so you cheer for whoever they're against just to feel like the outcome isn't predetermined.

Those three people you listed are next to irrelevant. Bouchard can hardly win a match, Giorgi isnt in the top 50 and Sharapova is retired.

This, this turned me off to coco three years ago when they couldn’t stop fawning over her and telling us she IS a future champion. Nothing to do with coco herself but I’ve been around long enough to see all these future American stars never win at the highest level.

Agreed, it's impossible to regulate because there is inevitably going to be a good amount of people very interested in reading about the next big thing.

You ever killed an animal before? Like say, squashed a cockroach, swatted a fly, hunted a deer? Maybe slaughtered a pig or a chicken? Shot a varmint?
Did you explain yourself to the animal?

Well that's just wrong. Maybe you don't care, maybe a the majority of people don't care. But to say "no one" cares is incorrect.

I met her when I worked in the players’ lounge at the Rogers Cup. She is amazing. So humble. Her dad is so sweet and supportive too. I truly get Williams energy off her. Players like Coco really show the path and legacy the Williams have made to empower young black girls to play tennis.

You win the gold and are an incel because you are an incel who can’t recognize that women can have lifelong issues from pregnancy that have no effect at all on their athletic ability.

In an era where people usually break through in their mid 20s because the tour is too physical for young players to hang in there.
Go somewhere else pls.

Coco Gauff is 18 and ranked 7. Please shut the fuck up.
You can be critical of something without sounding like a dipshit.

Sloane Stevens won a major, Sofia Kenin won a major. That is the highest level. Jessica Pegula is knocking on the door& CoCo made it to the final of French open last year.
