u r all misunderstanding the canadian tennis curse it was not lifted when gaby and felix won mixed because it doesn’t apply to doubles only singles. or perhaps more accurately it doesn’t apply to gabriela specifically as she is the world #3 wta doubles player, whereas other canadians who play doubles typically end up flopping at some early stage. however, this doesn’t mean that gaby carried felix this week (unlike some teams where that sort of thing happened) because it was very much a team effort and felix is moderately good at doubles and pulled his weight
probably clay! objectively it's my favorite, plus imo clay matches are generally more fun and a lot of my favorite players are good on clay
23. what's your favorite stroke?
this is one of the ones i can't really answer 💀
more recently learned about the term "inside-out forehand" and have subsequently become very fond of it
25. if you could change the result of one match, which one would you pick?
my god, i mean. the easiest one would be rg final 2023, but idk, i feel like it's difficult bc at the time i actually was very happy with the result...and if iga didn't win she wouldn't have been year end #1. i think i don't have enough knowledge of tennis from previous years to give a non-recency-bias answer but my next would probably be wimbledon final 2023.
