Emma put up a good fight but somehow I always thought it was only going to end one way.
Sabalenka is an imposing opponent, isnāt she? I looked up details of her out of interest. Sheās one inch short of six foot, with muscles most men would be proud of!!
Watching the Sinner match. Martinez doesnāt stand a chance.
Andrew Castle yet again spoils things by going on about Sinnerās forced lay off because of his trainerās drugs violation. Which Sinner had to take responsibility for.
Totally agree about Andrew Castle, why does he have to keep bringing it up? Iām sorry Martinez was injured, his attitude was excellent, I look forward to watching him again when heās 100% fit. Switched over to watch Dimitrov now, another of my favourites.
Remember that people do dip in and out of tennis matches and I didnāt know about the ban. Iām still struggling with this lack of real line judges. It seems to have filtered through in my brain to me thinking that no one is real (crowd, umpire, players⦠. And when the crowd go āoohā I keep thinking of the sound the minions make in āDespicable Meā.
That Swiatek/Collins match was amazing. I might watch it again. I was just going to have a bet on Swiatek to win the championship but sheās second favourite anyway. The serving from both players was incredible and Swiatek kept looking as if she was going to hit the ball one way only for it to go in the opposite direction. I couldnāt believe what I was watching.
I thought the woman interviewing Taylor Fritz post match started to ask him some very embarrassing questions regarding match day superstitions. I kept thinking to myself youāre digging yourself into a hole here, just shut up. Have never thought that before.
