WTA now really is ball bashers’ world

[silasss @silllas_]

Really interesting progress….if Qinwen wins the title, she can actually qualify for WTA final this time

[silasss @silllas_]

Just realized some disturbing stats: both times when Muchova reached her new career high rankings inside top 10, she missed out the following tournaments because of surgeries. First time for 10 months since USO23 and this time 1.5 months since Wim26

[silasss @silllas_]

the way it’s all current or former top 10 players

[US Open Tennis @usopen]

Absolute cinema 🎞️

[silasss @silllas_]

truth is…sometime all it takes is just one really freaking good season to get it all. She was picking up those last min 500s tournaments and Mirra happened to miss Tokyo in her schedule. All things aligned and worked out.

If you told a Rybakina fan after USO last year that she would make a mad dash for WTA Finals, JUST get in, win that, then win AO and right now be on the verge of World No. 1 they would laugh at you for writing fanfiction.

Parallels!

[Bastien Fachan @BastienFachan]

Aryna Sabalenka had just become the (unofficial) world No.1 when she faced Zheng Qinwen in the 2023 US Open quarterfinals...

Elena Rybakina can now become the (unofficial) world No.1 when she faces Zheng Qinwen in the 2026 US Open quarterfinals...

Cinematic parallels.

@muchovestie NEVER not a fighter imo💔…just very biased opinion towards Indian wells (I’m dying on this hill but she’s gonna play final no matter she likes iw or not :))))

[silasss @silllas_]

now actually shes right….she’s the last person needs any kinds of mental burden or internalization of one loss

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Iga Swiatek in press after her loss to Qinwen Zheng:

"More specifically about the first set, having been up 5 love and bouncing back from that.. how do you think you'll go about internalizing that and growing from it?"

"It's just one match, like.... try to play the same way as usual. What do you mean. Do you think it's something crazy? You can lose a set from any score, nothing special about that. Just that's what happened and that's it."

(via US Open press)

@muchovestie Thank u user muchovestie🤧🤧 positivity worked well and mucho now has great chances for wta final despite her complaints!

[silasss @silllas_]

@rybamuch yeah it’d be a great match for sure if they meet, whoever wins deserves it. if zheng wins it all, Elena would still be wd no.1.

[US Open Tennis @usopen]

The self-belief? Extraordinary.

After starting the match 0-5 down in 20 minutes, Zheng Qinwen takes out Swiatek 7-5, 6-3!

[silasss @silllas_]

Has Iga EVER lost a match like this… tennis is such a mental game

[silasss @silllas_]

The way this reversed…iga this is not fun anymore.

[silasss @silllas_]

A beat down from Iga…😔this is not fun

[silasss @silllas_]

Iga mto😳😳

[silasss @silllas_]

Iga needs to calm down a bit 🤐 shanking so much

[silasss @silllas_]

@CurtoSimone just flipped a mental switch after that 1st hold after 5:0 🤯it was such a fight

[silasss @silllas_]

7 games in a row and won the set against IGA…insane fight

[silasss @silllas_]

Qinwen won 6 games in a row since I tuned in…why this never happens to my other favs when I’m watching 😳
