[fritzes]

time for the olympics! this draw is already very cursed but here are my thoughts:

wta:

in the first quarter, we obviously have the heavy favorite to win this in iga. her projected quarterfinal opponent is danielle, but I don't think she can challenge iga on clay. that being said, two of iga's usual nemeses are in her quarter: noskova and, of course, ostapenko. however, this is basically just roland garros part 2 and it takes the match of someone's life and then some to beat iga, and even then that might not be enough. to beat her here would be an insane achievement and I'd be forever impressed with any player if they did it

the second quarter doesn't have a top four seed because of elena's late withdrawl, so this is really open. the highest seed is qinwen who is coming off of a clay title. caroline garcia has home court advantage. naomi did play the aforementioned match of her life against iga at roland garros and came so close to winning it, so if she can carry that here she can absolutely make a deep run. leylah, emma navarro, and karolina muchova are also in this quarter and could definitely be dark horses to make a deep run. this is definitely the least predictable quarter and could potentially have some really good matches

the third quarter is really stacked. jasmine is the top seed, and she absolutely proved herself at roland garros and could really be a force here. the projected quarterfinalist is jess, who has had a really up and down season and has kind of lost all her consistency. she could absolutely make a deep run, but she could also very easily lose to elina in the second round. krejcikova, fresh off of her wimbledon win, is also in this quarter and we could see a rematch of the wimbledon final. the change to clay could honestly favor both of them, and that's a rematch that would be interesting to see. there is also a potential rg semifinal rematch between jasmine and mirra in the second round

and finally, coco has what seems to me a very clear path to the semis. her first round opponent is ajla, and clay is her worst surface by a lot. maria sakkari is the projected quarterfinalist, but I've really lost all faith in maria at big tournaments, everything kind of fell apart after miami. I think a likely quarterfinalist is kostyuk, who has given coco a lot of trouble in the past. that being said, I think coco is really locked in for this. also, kostyuk is very erratic and could potentially lose early to putintseva or siniakova. it's coco's quarter to lose.

interesting r1 matches: ostapenko/osorio, garcia/cristian, osaka/kerber, muchova/fernandez, putintseva/kostyuk, andreescu/tauson

atp:

well. this top quarter sure is something! we don't even know if rafa is actually playing singles, but if he does, we could have a rafa/novak match in the second round. which is insane. I don't think rafa has any chance of winning, but still. this draw shouldn't be too hard for novak. the seeds in his quarter just aren't people who can really challenge him, and I highly doubt the projected quarterfinalist of tsitsipas could beat him right now

the second quarter, aka taylor's wimbledon draw in reverse. there's the potential for a rematch with musetti in the fourth round, which could be interesting. musetti has been a problem for him all year, and the wimbledon qf will definitely be lingering in taylor's head. whoever wins that (if it happens) unfortunately probably has to play zverev, although I could see him potentially losing to jarry. I'm not really certain in any prediction about this quarter (mostly because I'm way to biased towards taylor) so we'll see how it goes

this third quarter is the one I'm the most excited for, because the idea of a casper/daniil clay olympics quarterfinal is just so fun. based on the rest of the players in this draw, they should both be able to get there unless felix randomly decides to peak. if that match did happen, casper would of course be the favorite but you never know when clayvedev will emerge (we all remember rome...)

much like the wta draw, this last quarter seems straightforward for the second seed. carlos is in incredible form right now, and it's hard to see anyone in this quarter challenging him. his quarterfinal opponent could be adm or tommy paul; adm has never beaten him and he just beat tommy paul at wimbledon. like I said with the wta fourth quarter, this is his quarter to lose

interesting r1 matches: arnaldi/fils, machac/zhang, musetti/monfils, bublik/fritz, auger-aliassime/giron, de minaur/struff

okay bad bitches we did it we made it through the indian wells round of 32! some thoughts on the upcoming matches:

also these are not technical notes i do not have the capacity to do that just yet i'm just rambling don't take it too seriously LOL

atp

lehečka/tsitsipas — you all know i want jiri to win this but i fear it is not happening and my boy is getting beaten down first thing in the morning. then again i haven't been watching stef lately so idk how he's playing but it feel silly to hold out any real hope

maroszan/alcaraz — carlitos straight to the qfs please Next

z****v/de minaur — okay listen i know their h2h isn't great but alex does have the most recent win over the rat (davis cup), not to mention he's been playing absolute lights-out full-dark no-stars tennis lately. like we have a chance. it's slim and i know this match is going to do terrible things to my heart rate but We Have A Chance

shelton/sinner — the main event! i'm not going to lie i am genuinely more interested to see how this goes than in who wins... ben being the only person still in the tournament to have beaten jannik AT ALL recently. this one's going to be a good one i'm excited

ruud/monfils — casper is looking in better shape but monfils is always something of a wild card... lowkey i will be happy no matter how this one turns out i just hope both teams have fun [heart]

nardi/paul — i'm mad at tommy paul for defeating ugo humbert even though i'm still mad at ugo humbert for deafeating daniil in dubai Whatever. luca nardi indian wells champion 2024

fritz/rune — okay listennn i have to support fritz as a fellow californian at the california tournament but also i think rune tennis is some of the silliest shit available as entertainment to the people. i could go either way on this one

medvedev/dimitrov — of course i'm rooting for daniil but this one should also be fun to watch

wta

potapova/paolini — jasmine paolini indian wells champion 2024 Next question

pavlyuchenkova/kostyuk — i am not kostyuk's biggest fan i fear

kerber/wozniacki — throwback match... honestly the fact that we get to see this as a r16 matchup in 2024 is kind of crazy (positive) i am quite looking forward to watching this one

światek/putintseva — listen on any other day i'd say iga's taking it but the last time she was in a wta 1000 she got knocked out fairly unexpectedly.... i do not know enough about putintseva to really say anything though so i could also just be loud and wrong

parry/sakkari — maria sakkari my icon my good friend... please avenge leylah for me thank you

mertens/gauff — coco 🔛🔝

yuan/kasatkina — i'm hoping for either dasha or jasmine to win the whole thing ngl so i fear i am on her side for this one

navarro/sabalenka — i like emma navarro but i am quite sure sabalenka is taking it

Thiem battu en 5 sets

Fre News 24h Thiem battu en 5 sets

MELBOURNE – Novak Djokovic a remporté la huitième finale de l’Open d’Australie sur huit, la deuxième consécutive en majeur sur le cinquième set. Dix-septième titre du Slam. Il n’avait jamais remonté de moins de deux sets à un dans le combat pour le titre en majeur, avant de vaincre Dominic Thiem 6-4 4-6 2-6 6-3 6-4. L’Autrichien arrive à un set de devenir le 150e champion du Chelem de l’histoire du jeu, mais le poids de l’histoire l’écrase.

L’hommage à Kobe Bryant

« Je tiens à remercier tous ceux qui sont venus ici pour nous voir jouer, pour nous encourager », a-t-il déclaré lors de la cérémonie de remise des prix. «Il y a eu des choses dévastatrices en 2020, des incendies, des guerres et une personne importante pour moi, Kobe Bryant, décédée dans un accident d’hélicoptère. C’est un message, souvenons-nous d’être proches des gens qui nous aiment. Nous faisons de notre mieux pour concourir, mais il y a des choses bien plus importantes dans le monde que le tennis ».

Rainking ATP: Djokovic nouveau roi, Berrettini huitième

L’Open d’Australie fait sa marque dans le nouveau classement ATP masculin, en commençant par la rotation la plus élevée. Avec le huitième triomphe à Melbourne, en effet, Novak Djokovic reprend le trône mondial en dépassant Rafa Nadal (325 points qui les séparent), qui l’avait dépassé le 4 novembre. Troisième du classement spécial de tous les temps, précédé par Pete Sampras (286) et Roger Federer (leader avec 310 semaines au sommet). Le champion suisse est sur la troisième marche du podium, menacé de près par l’Autrichien Dominic Thiem, qui avec la finale du premier Chelem de la saison dépasse le Russe Daniil Medvedev et égalise son meilleur classement. Le grec Stefanos Tsitsipas occupe la sixième place, comme pour les allemands Alexander Zverev et Matteo Berrettini, stables sur le huitième fauteuil après avoir début novembre réussi l’entrée historique dans le top dix, quatrième italien de l’ère ouverte pour réussir dans cette entreprise. Derrière le Romain de 23 ans et devant Fognini, il y a maintenant le Français Gael Monfils, tandis que le Belge David Goffin revient dans le club d’élite du circuit masculin. Fabio Fognini gagne une position, désormais 11ème avec 155 points de retard sur le dixième Goffin.

Classement WTA: Barty toujours reine, Kenin septième

Sans gagner devant son public, l’Australienne Ashleigh Barty conserve largement la première place du classement WTA féminin, avec plus de deux mille points d’avance sur la Roumaine Simona Halep qui reprend la deuxième place aux dépens de Karolina Pliskova. Elina Svitolina et Belinda Bencic montent également devant Bianca Andreescu tandis que Sofia Kenin, triomphante du Slam australien, entre dans le top 10 mondial avec la septième place. Derrière lui Kiki Bertens et Serena Williams alors qu’elle s’effondre à la dixième place Naomi Osaka, qui à Melbourne s’est présentée comme une championne sortante mais n’a pas dépassé le troisième tour. Jasmine Paolini, 94e et avant le bleu, trouve son meilleur classement, mais Camila Giorgi est également de retour dans le Top100, qui dans le premier Chelem de 2020 a été celle qui a le plus progressé, s’arrêtant contre Angélique Kerber au troisième tour.

Serena Williams regresa a la competición en la Fed Cup

Serena Williams, de 36 años, regresa este fin de semana en la Copa Federación, en la eliminatoria de cuartos de final Estados Unidos-Holanda en Asheville, en su primera competición oficial desde que ganó el Abierto de Australia el año pasado.

Será su vuelta a las pistas después de convertirse en madre el uno de septiembre, y por medio de cesárea, de una niña, Alexis Olympia Ohanian, y tras revelar que después del parto había tenido varios coágulos de sangre en los pulmones que la obligaron a permanecer seis semanas en cama.

Desde la consecución de su título 23 del Grand Slam en Melbourne, Serena ha permanecido ausente de las pistas hasta que disputó un partido de exhibición el 30 de diciembre en Abu Dabi, perdiendo contra la campeona de Roland Garros, la letona Jelena Ostapenko.

Tras la Copa Federación de este fin de semana, Serena tiene previsto jugar luego otra exhibición en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York el 5 de marzo, y a continuación desea competir en Indian Wells (8 al 18 de marzo).

Venus y Coco Vandeweghe acompañarán a Serena en esta competición en la que no ha perdido ni uno solo de los 13 partidos individuales (16-1 contando también dobles) que ha disputado en las nueve eliminatorias en las que ha competido.

La única derrota de Serena en esta competición fue el de dobles con Alison Riske en el partido decisivo del ‘play-off’ del Grupo Mundial contra Italia en 2015. Serena no juega en Copa Federación desde 2015, y Venus desde la primera ronda 2016 contra Polonia, dentro del Grupo Mundial II.

La mayor de las Williams, octava del mundo esta semana, ha ganado 19 de los 21 partidos individuales disputados y combinado con el de dobles tiene un récord general de 23-4.

Asheville, una pequeña ciudad de 70.000 habitantes del estado de Carolina del Norte, espera recibir un impacto de 3,5 millones de dólares por esta eliminatoria, según ha estimado la Federación Estadounidense (USTA), debido en gran parte a la presencia de Serena.

Será la primera defensa de Estados Unidos, tras ganar el pasado año a Bielorrusia (3-2) y recuperar el título 17 años después. El conjunto americano ha ganado en seis de los ocho pulsos mantenidos contra Holanda. Bielorrusia, por su parte se enfrenta en Minsk contra Alemania que no contará con sus dos mejores jugadoras Angelique Kerber y Julia Goerges.

La checa Karolina Pliskova, Ostapenko (Grupo 1 Europa/Africa) y Venus, son las únicas cuatro jugadoras del ‘top ten’ que competirán este fin de semana.

Mientras, en el Grupo Mundial II, España, con su nueva capitana Anabel Medina al frente, se mide contra Italia buscando el regreso a la Primera División.

Carla Suárez, 29 del mundo, campeona en Doha 2016 y Oeiras 2014, encabeza el cuadro español en el que también figuran Lara Arruabarrena, 82 individual, la debutante Georgina García y la veterana María José Martínez, actualmente en el 25 del ránking de dobles y ganadora de 5 títulos individuales y 18 dobles.

La veterana Sara Errani, 142, llevará las riendas de Italia junto con Jasmine Paolini, 158. A su lado estarán dos debutantes, Deborah Chiesa, 179, y la júnior Elisabetta Cocciaretto
