This might be crazy but what Genie Bouchard moving into coaching. Maybe not a head coach right away but I think she can bring value to a player if her playing days are over.
What a finish to the match, Medvedev up 40-love trying to force a tie-break, Tsitsipas wins four straight points to get to match point, Medvedev breaks out the underarm serve and Greek Yogurt hits a winner. 6-3 7-6 7-5 for the Greek.

Definitely slanting heavily to crazy with that one. Maybe if she focuses on the social media and pr playbook you can extract some semblance of value.

At least he's honest (this is why we have press conferences). But as SCD said, this will be the downfall of the new generation. Not even having a Plan B, not able to fight.
The worst part about the NextGEN is they are consistently commenting about just being happy to be out there with the big boys. If you want to achieve greatness and knock Novak, Fed and Nadal off the pedestal, you need to come out and make it known you want to crush them. Most of these players have the game, it's the mental toughness that is completely lacking. Stop acting like their superhuman - they aren't, and all 3 of them have serious flaws in their games since they have now aged well into their 30s.
It's well documented that you can beat Novak by taking away pace. Federer obviously has matches where his backhand and movement are questionable. Nadal doesn't have the raw power he used to, nor does he move as well. This is not to say exploiting these areas alone will get the job done, but there certainly needs to be a higher level of attack and execution that never lets up during a match.
Look no further than Musetti, Zverev, Thiem and even Shapo and Milos as guys who have, at times, had some of the big 3/4 on the ropes or attempted to close out big matches, only to falter badly for no real reason.

I think Medvedev is the only guy who's not scared.
Yeah, Medvedev just needs to get rid of the rabbit ears, I honestly think it's better for him with a full stadium, when there's no crowd, he gets easily distracted.
That's really surprising. I thought Swiatek would cruise to the title.
I saw most of the 2nd set, Sakkari was serving very well today and was bossing Iga all over the court. Sakkari has had issues with nerves in the past, but she was rock solid today.
