Since when Svitolina became a power player? She was bossing Halep around like she owns the WTA. lol lol..
Great match... Halep had no idea what else to try. Nothing worked. Pretty sad loss behind destroyed by Svitolina.

Every year a bit more power...

I told some in 2013 who said she was never going to achieve something because she was a 'powerless pusher' that it was way too early to judge a teenager. I told them to wait 5-6 years to make final judgement.

Power can be aqcuired post 20y old... tennis skills not so much. And I expect Kasatkina to add more power too in the next 3-4 years...

Ok, they will never be an Ostapenko. But we need contrasting styles.
Ps: I find the erratic serving from Ostapenko more worrying; when I look back at Henin, she added power over the years, but never managed to get a top-(2nd) serve...

LOL, for almost a decade, you (and others) tried to convince me that it is all about slams: without a slam, you cannot be a true #1.

So without a slam, you are not the best.

You made the case in the past; surely you don’t want to look like a hypocrite all of a sudden &#128516;

Vee must stay sharp against Caroline, despite the 7-0 h2h in her favor with a loss of only one set.
