RG XD R1: Liudmila Samsonova/Andrea Vavassori def. Veronika Kudermetova/Rohan Bopanna 6-2, 6-2 Match Stats
Tumblr media
📸 Eurosport GB
L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori had one of the most flawless matches as a pair as they returned deeply and more anticipative, while keeping their point construction as concise as possible. Often, they also utilized the open court properly to bring Veronika/R. Bopanna off-balance, especially since the latter's follow-ups were insufficient for them to stay in the match due to the prevalent unforced errors. As a result, the former pair had 9 break points, converting 5 of them despite Veronika/R. Bopanna's 100% break point conversion rate at the end of the second set.
Besides, L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori also had more consistent service games throughout the match. Despite firing just 1 ace than Veronika/R. Bopanna's 2, the former pair won 83% of their first serve points despite only landing 23% of their first serves, optimizing its follow-ups as well other than firing some crucial unreturned serves. However, despite only double-faulted twice, Veronika/R. Bopanna mostly got rushed on their forehand or volley side as they tried to respond to L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori's deep returns, thus causing an erroneous showing in this department throughout this match.
In tomorrow's second round match, L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori will face the seventh seed and the Australian Open champion Su-Wei Hsieh/Jan Zielinski, who then defeated another tennis couple in Katerina Siniakova/Tomas Machac 6-2, 7-6(3). This could be an intriguing clash for both pairs, which could come down to their aggression and execution. One of the Mixed Doubles matches to look forward to for the day as they catch up with the backlog due to the previous rain delays!

Grooming in tennis
older male coaches' inappropriate relationships with younger female players:
Don Candy, coach of Pam Shriver. Began a relationship with Shriver when he was 50, married with children, and she was 17. It lasted five years. Candy first met Shriver when she was 11.
Sergei Demekhine began coaching Veronika Kudermetova as a child, and after some time with other players, he returned to coaching her in 2012 when she was 15. Kudermetova has stated that despite being uncomfortable with their relationship from the beginning, she liked him from when she was 16 and they began dating when she was 18. They married in 2015 and Demekhine is still her coach.
In 2022, French player Fiona Ferro pressed charges against her former coach Pierre Bouteyre for rape and sexual assault that took place when she was between 15 and 18 years old
In 2022, American player Kylie McKenzie filed a lawsuit against the United States Tennis Association for failing to protect her from a predatory coach, Anibel Aranda. McKenzie alleged Aranda "touched her vagina after a practice in November 2018 at the USTA's training center in Florida when she was 19. McKenzie has since said that the sexual abuse had negatively affected her confidence, self-esteem and caused anxiety that had a detrimental effect on her tennis career". McKenzie's lawyer accused the USTA of knowing that Aranda had a history of assault before assigning him to coach McKenzie as a teenager.
In 2024, Ben Rothenberg revealed that Naomi Osaka's split with her coach Sascha Bajin in 2019 came after Naomi confronted him about her suspicion that he was engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a 19 year old player. Bajin admitted it, and Naomi dropped him from her coaching team. The 19 year old player is thought to be Sofya Zhuk, who retired from tennis just a year later.
Former WTA player Naomi Cavady: "Being a coach on the tour is an incredibly insecure job. Which leads to a lot of this unprofessional behaviour. It helps the coach feel a bit more secure if he has created a much closer personal relationship. I often see coaches leaning on that to make it harder for female players to get rid of them from their team. There’s a saying on the tour: ‘The average life expectancy of a coach is 18 months – except when the coach is also the boyfriend.’ When you have young players travelling between 30 and 40 weeks per year, usually surrounded by an all-male entourage, all the practicalities and incentives are pointing in the same direction."
"And it is not only the coaches: fitness trainers and physios are almost as likely to breach the bounds of professionalism." e.g. Belinda Bencic began publicly dating fitness coach Martin Hromkovič when she was 20 and he was 36.
Victoria Azarenka during a press conference, US Open 2022:

the many woes of WTA Berlin 2024
yep, we’ve got yet another cursed tournament
To start us off, the World #1 Iga Świątek has withdrawn entirely, leaving Coco Gauff, who just became #2 a week ago, as the top seed. As a result, Aryna Sabalenka (seeded second) and Elena Rybakina (seeded third) known for their explosive matches, ended up on the same side of the draw. Jessica Pegula, coming back from injury, is seeded fourth.
Right from the start, it doesn’t just rain. It pours, and this tournament doesn’t have a roof. Matches get delayed and rescheduled like crazy throughout the entire tournament - we’ll get to the worst of it as they come.
In the first round, qualifier and known doubles player Katerina Siniakova takes out Navarro 6-4 6-3. Victoria Azarenka beats the ever-erratic seventh seed Maria Sakkari 6-4 6-2 in a remarkably uncompetitive match. Another qualifier, Veronika Kudermetova, beats compatriot Samsonova 3-6 6-4 6-4. Kudermetova is one of those players that randomly shows up every few months and decides she’s gonna play at a top 20 level. Speaking of players who can sometimes play like the best in the world and sometimes forget how to play tennis, Kostyuk loses to one of the worst grass players on tour, Daria Kasatkina, with a scoreline 4-6 7-6 6-3.
All the top four seeds survive the second round, but fifth and sixth aren’t so lucky. Anna Kalinskaya receives her first walkover of the tournament after fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova is injured at 5-5 in the first set. Siniakova continues her run by beating sixth seed Zheng 6-4 6-4. Throughout all this it rains, a lot.
The quarterfinals is where things start to get truly crazy. First Rybakina is forced to retire against Azarenka at only 3-1. Following this, Azarenka and her son play mixed doubles with some fans on the court. Jess and Siniakova are in a tight third set when the rain pushes them to the next day along with the other two quarterfinals. Jess is able to finish it up, winning 7-6 3-6 6-3. In the next quarterfinal, Coco wins a close tiebreak against eight seed Ons Jabeur, but Jabeur retires immediately after due to illness. Finally, Anna receives another walkover, this time from Sabalenka, who retired due to a shoulder injury at 5-1. Three out of four quarterfinals ended in a retirement.
The very same day, Anna beats Azarenka with a bizarre scoreline of 6-1 6-7 6-1 to make the final. Interestingly enough, her boyfriend makes a German 500 final at roughly the same time. The second semifinal is a battle of doubles partners between Coco and Jess. Jess wins the first set, but Coco is serving at 5-3 in the second. In true Coco Gauff fashion, she gets broken and the second set goes to a tiebreak. Jess is up 3-1 in the tiebreak when it starts to rain, meaning the end of the match has to be pushed to the next day, where the winner will face Anna just a few hours later.
The next day, Jess finishes off the tiebreak, winning it 7-2, and then goes to play the final. The first set goes to a tiebreak, which Anna wins in a shocking 7-0. Jess breaks in the second set to win it 6-4. In the third set, Anna is up 4-1 with momentum towards a win, but gets broken. Even still, at 5-4 she has four match points, all of which Jess manages to save. Then, at 5-5 Anna goes down 0-40 and ends up saving four break points to hold. She finds herself with another match point in the next game, but Jess saves it in an insane rally to send it to a tiebreak. Unlike the first set tiebreak, Jess wins this one handily with a scoreline of 7-3.
When they meet at the net, Jess literally says sorry.

#WTA 2023: Katie Boulter snatches Nottingham for maiden title
It was an all-British and all-Russian finals last weekend as Katie Boulter won her maiden WTA singles title in Nottingham, while Ekaterina Alexandrova upended top seed and World Number 14 Veronika Kudermetova in a three-set thriller for the Libema Open championship. Boulter only took 73 minutes to demolish compatriot Jodie Burrage, 6-3, 6-3 with a better service game — as she basically dominated…

📸 🎥 Eurosport GB
L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori continued their dominance to the second set, as after they held their serves to 1-0, A. Vavassori's poaching volley secured them their 2-point lead before having a break point, converting it through A. Vavassori's forehand down-the-line winner to 2-0. Afterward, they consolidated the lead to 3-0, and had not looked back since thanks to their aggression on par with an erroneous showing from Veronika/R. Bopanna.
Five consecutive games later, the latter pair should have served to stay in the set. However, despite Veronika/R. Bopanna's best efforts to prolong the match, a forehand return ace from A. Vavassori outhit Veronika's forehand side to generate the initial match point. Eventually, two points later, a third-shot volley error secured L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori the win, taking the second set 6-2 to secure their spot in the second round.

13 Temmuz 2024 Barbora Krejcikova Jasmine Paolini Maçı
*Merkez Kort'ta saat 16:05'te başlayacak olan Wimbledon Tek Kadınlar Final maçı. İki isim de burada ilk kez şampiyonluk yaşamayı istiyor. Çek oyuncu Krejcikova, 2021 Roland Garros zaferinden sonra kariyerinin teklerdeki 2. Grand Slam şampiyonluğunun peşinde olacak. İtalyan raket Paolini ise geçen ayki Roland Garros finalinden sonra art arda ikinci Grand Slam finalinde boy gösterecek. O da kazanıp kariyerinin en büyük başarısına kavuşmayı arzulayacak. Güzel bir heyecan yaşamayı dileriz. İki tarafa da başarı dileklerimizi sunuyoruz.
Her iki raketin de final yolu:
-Barbora Krejcikova-
#1. Tur = Veronika Kudermetova (7-6[7-4], 6-7[1-7], 5-7)
#2. Tur = Katie Volynets (7-6[8-6], 7-6[7-5])
#3. Tur = Jessica Bouzas Maneiro (6-0, 4-3,ret.)
#4. Tur = Danielle Collins (7-5, 6-3)
#Çeyrek Final = Jelena Ostapenko (6-4, 7-6[7-4])
#Yarı Final = Elena Rybakina (3-6, 6-3, 6-4)
-Jasmine Paolini-
#1. Tur = Sara Sorribes Tormo (7-5, 6-3)
#2. Tur = Greet Minnen (7-6[7-5], 6-2)
#3. Tur = Bianca Andreescu (7-6[7-4], 6-1)
#4. Tur = Madison Keys (6-3, 6-7[6-8], 5-5,ret.)
#Çeyrek Final = Emma Navarro (6-2, 6-1)
#Yarı Final = Donna Vekic (2-6, 6-4, 7-6[10-8])
*S Sport'tan ve TRT Spor'dan naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.
*İlk sette 6-2 üstünlük kuran Krejcikova 1-0 öne geçti. Çek raket break'le başladı. Sonra o rüzgarını koruyarak, tecrübesiyle öne çıktı. Paolini için yine final ağırlığı söz konusu gibi.
*İkinci set de 6-2 sona erdi ama bu kez zafer Paolini'nin oldu. Durum da 1-1'e geldi böylece. İlk setin simetrisi vardı adeta. Bu sefer İtalyan raket çok arzulu oynadı. 3-0'ı gördü. Sağlam performansını düşmeden korudu. Şimdi karar anı heyecanı var önümüzde.
*Son sete 6-4'le nokta koyan Krejcikova şampiyonluğa ulaşmayı başardı. Çek raket teklerde ilk kez Wimbledon zaferini elde etti. Kariyerininse 2. Grand Slam şampiyonluğunu gördü. Çok güçlü servis oyunları izledik iki taraftan da. Özellikle Krejcikova love game'lerle ilerledi. 7. oyundaki kritik break'le bir adım öne atıldı. Son oyunda ise tam bir mücadele harbi izledik. Paolini 2 kez servis kırma şansını değerlendiremedi. Krejcikova ise 3. maç puanında mutlu sona kavuştu. Tebriklerimizi sunuyoruz.
