A lot of people are quick to denounce Timea's potential but I've sent it a for a while now and her results in the last 3 months have been spectacular. She's gained at least 70 points in her last 5 of 6 tournaments and has risen from no.85 in November to her new career high of no.44 in the next rankings, which will be top 40 if she beats Vinci. Timea is no longer a potential dangerous player but now an emerging star on tour! So don't be shocked when you look at the rankings in May and she is seeded at the French Open!
Re: Timea Babos - quietly, but quickly climbing up the rankings
I also noticed that. She is more solid and consistent since her good run in Cincinatti. I think a deep run in a big tournament or another MM title could give her the confidence she needs to be a top 20.
Lol she isn't a ballbasher. I heard someone once call her a pusher with a big serve and that isn't entirely accurate, but is close. She is almost always on defense against aggressive players. I really like her though, but definitely not as much as the other Timea B :lol:
Re: Timea Babos - quietly, but quickly climbing up the rankings
I don't see her as a future star, but she could certainly be a regular 50-20 player. I think she's mainly focused on doubles for most of her career though.
Re: Timea Babos - quietly, but quickly climbing up the rankings
She's #19 in the race to Singapore. That's very impressive considering we're at the end of the year now. If she can keep up this consistency she could end up in the top 20 at the end of the year and who knows what might happen after that
Re: Timea Babos - quietly, but quickly climbing up the rankings
Such an odd player. Excellent serve but groundstrokes are just hit and miss, very inconsistent. She's a textbook top 10 doubles player but I'm not sure she'll ever do that much in singles. Could break top 25 if she worked on a few things.
She is only 23 years old. I really like her game and think she'll do great things. Nowadays, we have tons of late bloomers who don't show up until their late 20's
I believe the more you rave about her, the fewer new Babos fans there will be. I remember when everybody adored Goerges and then you turned up and put everybody off her.
Re: Timea Babos - quietly, but quickly climbing up the rankings
26! This is so amazing! The progression of Timea Babos is just absolutely fantastic and now we are proud of her. I think she is a superstar. 86 to 26 since one year ago. Wow!
