Jim Courier and Kyle Edmund see the real threats to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner coming from Jack Draper, plus Alex De Minaur, Joao Fonseca, Rafael Jodar, and Arthur Fils. Yet Alexander Zverev is oddly left out. #Tennis
With all respect, Rennae Stubbs is absolutely wrong.Saying Alex Eala’s serve “will never” win her a Grand Slam is the kind of rigid, outdated take that tennis keeps proving wrong. Eala is 21, already beating top players (including Iga Świątek on Centre Court en route to the Wimbledon fourth round), rising into the top 30, and showing the kind of fight, variety, and tennis IQ that matter far more than pure serve speed. #AlexEala #WTA #Tennis #RennaeStubbs
