2022 Wimby Ladies Main Draw
Ostapenko, LOL: “I just made mistakes. She just collected all my mistakes, unforced errors, and that’s how she won today,” she said. “I thought it was my match, I had to win it, and she got just so lucky in some moments so she could come back. I felt I was the player who had to win this match today.” Ostapenko also addressed her behaviour following her defeat, blaming it on “emotion”. “I mean, it’s always annoying to lose such a match, especially when you know you were a better player and you were a favourite in this match,” she added. “So of course I had emotion. I’m a human, and it’s normal. I’m not going to let it go and say, ‘it’s fine, I lost, and it’s fine’. “No, it’s not fine. Obviously I’m an emotional player. I hate losing, as I said before, because I’m such a competitive person. “So I think it’s normal. I mean, of course maybe I shouldn’t have done this, but it’s easy to say from the outside, when you are not in my place, it’s easy to judge.” Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawReminds me of another sore loser after losing to the reigning #1 Henin in a slam QF: “She hit a lot of lucky shots”… "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawMeanwhile: a great line-up for the SF today: OK, Maria is the odd one out, but the 3 others are there for a reason. Jabeur vs any of the two other ones is a final I will definitely watch.

A lot of room to grow for Elena in her game. Net game needs a ton of work, serving up the T and redirecting her ground game, for her forehand is constantly returned crosscourt. Potentially, a top-five player, maybe even numero uno given her game and weapons. Only 23 and still has time. Nevertheless, a big title for her in young career.
Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawA player with so many issues would never win the men's Wimbledon final. Nevertheless, didn't see Jabeur winning.
Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawRybakina: "It's true, I did not expect to be in the second week of a Grand Slam at Wimbledon. To be a winner is just amazing. I don't have the words to say how happy I am." "Elena stole my title but it's ok!" "I love this tournament so much and I feel really sad, but I'm trying to inspire many generations from my country. I hope they are listening." Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawStarted posting here since 2011,and since then stuck out my neck for 3 female teenagers when they were not even in top 200, to claim that they were future top 10 and slam winners: Benicia, Kasatkina and Rybakina. The first 2 became top 10 at some point, and Rybakina won a slam. So a very happy tennis fan here who had a great afternoon.

Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawDoes Rybakina have two passports, one Kazakh and one Russian?
Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawDubious. Re: 2022 Wimby Ladies Main DrawWhat is dubious? I can’t help it that I obviously know enough about this sport to see when a junior has the skills to make it to the top… I cannot remember you ever pointing us towards a new, unknown player that is worth watching.
