Kostyuk’s results have improved because her discipline/patience has improved, thus decision making is higher%. She always had elite movement and shotmaking, but now the forehand doesn’t break down as often. Choosing bigger targets & waiting for the right ball to pull the trigger.
Not the first time De Minaur admits that he is going through a lot mentally but today he had a couple of strong quotes.
"I'm broken inside. That's the reality. You invest so many hours into this job and so many years to have moments like these. Not being able to live up to it is truly heartbreaking. It's very hard.
I won't be playing a tournament for a while. But again, they keep piling up. The goals, the belief, the dreams you have start fading away or feeling a little bit further out of reach than they once were. I feel like a couple of years ago I was definitely closer. Now I just feel like I'm drifting a little further away from those dreams. It's getting harder and harder. That's the reality."
Taylor Fritz easily beats Alexander Bublik 7-6(1), 6-4, 6-4 to reach the #Wimbledon QFs for the 4th time in the last five years.
Served and played incredibly well.
8th career Grand Slam QF.
