These quarterfinal matches at ningbo ??

[mortiflyer]

RIP iga and all but yulia saying “she didn’t lose, I took it” is probably one of the coldest lines I’ve ever heard in tennis

Obviously Spirk and Mulder/Scully are iconic pairs, but I can't get over how low they were seeded (I'm not arguing with the data, or your awesome methods -- It's just wild).

I looked at some sports rankings and imagine if the US Open finals were Women's Tennis: Emma Navarro vs Yulia Putintseva

Men's Tennis: Daniel Altmaier vs Arthur Rinderknech

Or March Madness ended with a game between Missouri vs Kent St.

I love it!

Wangxian is the only one of the semifinalists that was seeded in the top 32! We knew going in that number of works on ao3 is a messy proxy at best for weight class in the actual polls, but it's been fascinating watching that play out in practice.

[fritzes]

we made it!! us open draw thoughts:

wta:

iga actually has a very manageable looking draw. there’s really no one on her side of the quarter that I could see troubling her. possibly mirra, but iga just beat her in that incredible match in cincy and I don’t think mirra is quite there yet. in the quarterfinal is probably jess (potentially danielle) who is cursed in slam quarterfinals. jess is also completely wiped from all the tennis she’s been playing and I’m not sure if she’ll have enough energy to beat iga. that being said, jess had beaten her before and it’s definitely possible, especially with the home crowd advantage. also, emma raducanu is in this quarter so that’s definitely something to watch out for!

I’d call this elena’s quarter, but I don’t even know if elena is playing. I’m genuinely concerned for her, her health struggles have gotten so much worse since wimbledon and she’s just in really poor form. if she really is down and out, I could see kalinskaya or garcia taking her quarterfinal spot. honestly though, that side of the quarter is nothing compared to the other side. we’ve got: naomi, penko, karo, leylah, yulia, linda, bianca, and jasmine. all in one half of a quarter! the best matches of the tournament are most definitely gonna be produced from here, and I really can’t predict who of this group is gonna make the quarterfinals. this is the quarter to watch out for and depending on who makes it out, they could challenge iga in the semis

coco’s quarter is also pretty stacked, but almost deceptively so. one side has maria and barbora, but both of them are SO inconsistent and could very easily lose early. paula and vika are also on that side and could make good runs, but you never know when paula is gonna have injury concerns. on coco’s side, emma navarro and marta could make things really difficult for her, but navarro is still in monterrey and marta is marta, she could implode at any time. and then there’s coco herself. obviously she’s the defending champion but she’s had some really shaky results coming into this. if she gets back into that determined, winning ugly mentality from last year she can totally make it through this but if the forehand and serve just aren’t working, she’s gonna have a tough time even getting out of the quarter

and finally, who I think is the favorite for the tournament, aryna. this is the best draw she could have asked for. her projected quarterfinalist is qinwen who she had destroyed in every match they played. everyone in her quarter is someone she can handily beat… except madi keys. everyone remembers that insane semifinal from last year when aryna got bageled and still won it. I think if they do play, that will definitely embolden her but madi is not to be messed with, especially at the us open. all that said, I think aryna has a good path to the semis and I would heavily favor her if she plays coco

interesting r1 matches: andreeva/osorio, raducanu/kenin, ostapenko/osaka, muchova/volynets, putintseva/noskova, andreescu/paolini, zheng/anisimova, keys/siniakova, kudermetova/jabeur

atp:

so far, jannik’s slam draws as the top seed have been absolutely brutal. tommy paul in the fourth round at the us open is rough, and the other side of the quarter is, well, daniil and stefanos. this should be a difficult draw, but both of them are barely even winning matches right now. daniil did just beat jannik at wimbledon, but he lost in the first round of canada and cincy, and stefanos barely did better. and if they played each other, I have a feeling it would be a very long five setter. honestly, I could see felix making a run here, maybe even to the quarterfinals. jannik is for sure still the favorite to get to the semis, and this quarter could implode on itself to help him. if daniil loses early, his biggest threat is tommy paul

carlos, on the other hand, got not one but two injured top seeds on the opposite side of his quarter (hubi and alex). he’s got jack and korda in his section, but neither of them hold up very well in best of five. the match to decide his r2 opponent is bvdz vs shapo. he really couldn’t have asked for a better draw here, though I’m sure he’ll find a way to fit a few epic five setters in there. hubi is definitely still injured, but I’m honestly not sure about alex’s form. if he’s healthy, he can definitely make the quarterfinals, but if not, that other quarterfinal spot is so open. matteo arnaldi, maybe? whatever it is, I’d be shocked if carlos doesn’t make the semis

this third quarter is going to be insane. the taylor-casper side could have an epic fourth round match between the two of them… or they could both lose in the second round. either way, I wouldn’t be surprised. on the other half, holger has been picking up some great form lately and maybe this time it will be enough to beat zverev. he came so close at rg and I think he definitely does have a chance, but unfortunately zverev is the favorite in that matchup. there’s also just a lot of people in this quarter who could potentially cause upsets and make deep runs: gael, bublik, matteo berrettini, lorenzo musetti, gmp. this quarter feels hardest to predict

and finally. this quarter. the grigor/rublev half seems like it’ll be pretty straightforward with maybe jiri causing an upset. with the projected fourth round, I’d say both have an equal chance. but the other half of this quarter is literally just last year’s us open but condensed. there’s a potential rematch between ben and frances in the third round and yes, the winner of that would play novak. I’m honestly not sure how to predict novak here, he looked to be back in his 2023 form during the olympic final but he’s been playing way below that for the rest of the year and hasn’t played a tournament leading up to this. I’m not saying he’ll get upset, but there’s definitely a chance of it and it’s for sure not gonna be easy for him

interesting r1 matches: tsitsipas/kokkinakis, mensik/auger-aliassime, zhang/draper, de minaur/giron, mpetshi perricard/etcheverry, shelton/thiem

[mortiflyer]

Yulia 94% first serve and 100% win on second…this is a potential mother

13 Ekim 2024 Aryna Sabalenka Zheng Qinwen Maçı

*Merkez Kort'ta saat 12:15'te başlayacak olan Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Açık Tekler Final maçı. Sabalenka 2018 ve 2019'daki son 2 edisyonu kazanmıştı. Araya giren salgın dönemi boşluğundan sonra takvime dönen turnuvada serisini 3'e çıkarmayı amaçlıyor. Sabalenka bu yılki 4. zaferinin peşinde olacak. Yine Cincinnati'den sonra bu yılın ikinci, toplamda da 7. WTA 1000 kupasına ulaşmayı arzulayacak. Kariyerinin de 17. turnuva şampiyonluğu için ter dökecek. Olimpiyat şampiyonu Zheng ise bir başka önemli ilke imza attı ve Wuhan'da finale çıkan ilk Çinli isim oldu. Zheng kariyerinde ilk defa bir WTA 1000 turnuvası finalinde boy gösterecek. Çinli raket Palermo ve Paris oyunlarının ardından bu sezon 3. defa bir turnuvada zirveye çıkmayı hedefleyecek. İki isim bu sezon önemli randevularda buluştu. Sezonun ilk Slam finalinde Avustralya'da kozlarını paylaşmışlardı. Şimdi de takvimin son WTA 1000 organizasyonunda yine kupa mücadelesi verecekler. Güzel bir heyecana tanıklık etmek dileğiyle. İki oyuncuya da başarılar.

Her iki raketin de final yolu:

-Aryna Sabalenka-

#1. Tur = bay.

#2. Tur = Katerina Siniakova (6-4, 6-4)

#3. Tur = Yulia Putintseva (1-6, 6-4, 6-0)

#Çeyrek Final = Magdalena Frech (6-2, 6-2)

#Yarı Final = Coco Gauff (1-6, 6-4, 6-4)

-Zheng Qinwen-

#1. Tur = bay.

#2. Tur = Jaqueline Cristian (6-2, 6-4)

#3. Tur = Leylah Fernandez (5-7, 6-3, 6-0)

#Çeyrek Final = Jasmine Paolini (6-2, 3-6, 6-3)

#Yarı Final = Wang Xinyu (6-3, 6-4)

*Bein Sports Max 1'den naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.

*İlk sette 6-3 üstünlük kuran Sabalenka 1-0 öne geçti. Dengeli bir başlangıç vardı. 6. oyunda servis kıran Sabalenka bir adım önde kalmayı başardı ve seti cebine koydu.

*İkinci set 7-5 ile Zheng'e gitti ve 1-1'lik eşitlik geldi. Sabalenka 3. oyunda hemen break'i bulmuştu ama Zheng sonraki oyunda servis kırarak cevabını verdi. 6. oyun özellikle uzunluğu bakımından dikkat çekiciydi. Zheng 4 kez break şansı bulsa da onları değerlendiremedi. Lakin Çinli oyuncu istediğini 8. oyunda yakaladı ve servis kırdı. Bu kez de sonraki oyunda Sabalenka cevap verdi. Ufukta bir tie-break mi olacak diye düşünürken son oyunda servis kırmayı başaran Zheng seti de kapattı ve şansını son bölüme taşıdı.

*Son sete 6-3 ile nokta koyan Sabalenka 2-1 kazandı ve üst üste 3. Wuhan zaferini elde etti. Sete 3-0'la girmişti Sabalenka bir anda tüm tribünler durgunlaştı. Ardından Zheng'in refleksi geldi ama yeterli olmadı. Son oyunda 3. maç puanında gülen taraf Sabalenka oldu. Kariyerinin 7. WTA 1000 kupası ve toplamdaki 18. turnuvası olarak kayda geçti. Bu yıl da 4. kez şampiyonluk yaşadı ayrıca. Tebrik ederiz.

US Open: Paolini joins Gauff as the only women to reach fourth round at every Slam in 2024

Jasmine Paolini joined Coco Gauff as the only women to reach at least the fourth round at every Grand Slam tournament in 2024, getting that far at the US Open for the first time with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 30 seed Yulia Putintseva on Saturday. The fifth-seeded Paolini, a 28-year-old from Italy, had never made it past the second round in 16 appearances at majors entering this season. But she…
