It's hard to watch my ladies Osaka and Collins going after each other like this.
Hard to root for either of them. Redo the draw please. I want both to win.

Naomi reminds me so much of Serena. The serve, the return... she puts so much pressure on her opponent.
The major difference between the two is that Naomi plays mostly from the baseline while Serena moves inside the court a lot.
But the mindset is the same. Can someone copy another player's mindset? lol lol.
Naomi is the other Serena. Love this girl.
Every Collins' service game goes to Deuce.. It's tough to face such a powerful returner. Every 2nd serve is almost a death sentence. I love when Serena does it. And Naomi replicates that play so well.

Serena was not serious about tennis at 21.
First slam at 17, didn't win any for another 4 years... Was busy partying with Brandy. :) :)
I don't think this Naomi can go 4 years without winning as slam.

Oskaka vs Bencic is the match of R16...

But to be honest, the overall line-up is great.

Sorry Bencic. You are going home.
This new Serena called Osaka takes no prisoner. Better get your first serves in, or you are doomed. :) :)

The she’s not “serious “ for 4 years not because of partying no no no the reason was Steffi Graf and PGJ. After those two retired she starts winning then Maria came along and dominated her totally on Wimbledon finals of 2004. That’s the truth. Do no t distort History.

Both Zverev and Sevastova have also been hit with whatever bug is going on at IW.
