I mean Vika Azarenka has two majors, and since falling out of the top 20 with injuries she's struggled to get in the top 20 again. Azarenka also has a much better game than Genie who is very one dimensional. I'd honestly like to see Genie take the rest of the year off and focus on remodelling her game. When Plan A doesn't work, she basically cannot beat anybody. She needs more to her game than trying to hit lines and go for winners all match. She basically cannot rally at all.
Genie got a very easy draw here because of her ranking, she got #117 in the world who had to qualify to make the tournament. When she's in the 20's now she's getting Serena or Kvitova or Maria in R3 instead of the QFs or SFs. She's gonna struggle to climb the rankings again.
Good news (??) for Genie is Halep is on her way out too and she has elite game unlike Genie. Halep is a big headcase right now.
