Same error Coco Gauff made against Karolina Muchova at match point in Wimbledon’26 (semifinal). Allow the ball bounce and hit your shot at any direction. But no - game over.
Elena Rybakina is having to endure Qinwen Zheng, almost like everyone is beginning to do.😂😂😂
World Number 1 won’t come that easy, it seems.
First set done. Zheng ✅
Pese a la derrota, Alcaraz asegura irse FELIZ.
🗣️ “Como dije antes de que comenzara el torneo, mi objetivo era venir aquí, competir y disputar este tipo de partidos, estando sano”
🗣️ “Estuve cerca, muy cerca. Por eso, no voy a sentirme decepcionado por no haber conseguido la victoria al final. Simplemente estoy feliz y orgulloso de mí mismo, de cómo luché durante todo el partido”
🗣️ “Después del tercer set estaba realmente cansado físicamente, pero encontré la manera de sobreponerme y seguir exigiéndome físicamente para dar un poco más”
🗣️ “En el quinto set empecé a sentirme cada vez mejor, pero estaba jugando contra uno de los… Es una bestia. Shelton es un jugador increíble, muy potente. Supo jugar realmente bien en todas las situaciones, así que hay que darle todo el mérito”
🗣️ “Pero me voy de la pista feliz. Me voy con una sonrisa y estando sano, y eso es precisamente lo que necesitaba”
Zheng d. Madison Keys 1-6 7-6(3) 7-5 at the US Open
COMEBACK OF THE TOURNAMENT.
Match point saved.
Down 0-5 in the 3rd set, she won the last 7 games of the match.
Qinwen just did the unthinkable to take out the 2017 finalist.
From qualifying to being back in the 2nd week a Slam for the 1st time in more than a year.
She had an elbow surgery in July 2025 that derailed her career, but she’s finally back. 🥹
There are competitors, and then there are warriors.
All hail Queenwen. 👑
🇨🇳♥️
@Rimitan_A Absolutely! Sinner does not entertain - he just comes to finish the job as quick as possible.
Jodar? Still lacking with experience, when it matters most.
Everyone piling the pressure on Alcaraz.😩
I am just happy to see him playing again.😁
@Rimitan_A Happened with Ben Shelton, after winning the Montreal Masters - lost his first game at the Cincinnati Masters.
To think Arthur was one of the favorites to win the tournament.
