Re: Aga's 2017 - Indian Wells/Miami "Sunshine Double"
Aga having one of the worst seasons in a very long time.
I couldn't find a feed for the match but they showed a few clips on tennis channel and she is just out of sorts. She's not hitting with the variety.. doesn't seem comfortable playing her usual crafty type of tennis.
At least in 2015 she was trying to improve her aggression, this is just something else
Totally agreed with you, I hope she gets back to normal before the grass season. Go back to your basics and you can stay top 10, change coach and work on getting more pop on your shots and perhaps, perhaps the slam might happen.
Re: Aga's 2017 - Indian Wells/Miami "Sunshine Double"
NID loss, Aga is such a mess. No variety, no aggression, power, tricks just clueless retrieving. You can also add that players don't seem scared to play with her anymore so there's no mental advantage of this sort anymore after losing to all these scrubs and her (often former) pigeons. Please, ditch Srixon & Wiktorowski as soon as possible. She needs new, different training impulses.
Re: Aga's 2017 - Indian Wells/Miami "Sunshine Double"
I just read the article that Aga left Srixon few days ago, that's why I was so surprised about Babolat racquet and made a big mistake in one of the GM threads. :lol:
So we all see now, that Srixon or Babolat doesn't make any significant change in Aga's tennis this year.
It's noticeable that she is hitting the ball very late right now and some people are saying that with her camp, they were trying to change technique of her shots. If it's true, it works very bad.
Only solution for Aga is to change her coach and sparingpartner, the number of bad decisions that they could make is done.
Re: Aga's 2017 - Indian Wells/Miami "Sunshine Double"
I only watched the first few games where they were swapping breaks as it was really late here and I needed sleep. For the best really.
I'm confused now. Has the Srixon contract been cancelled? I gather from the pics she was playing with a blacked out Babolat Pure Drive but I assume this is while Srixon go and make more adjustments to make the new racquet play like the old one.
She's 8-6 for the season which doesn't look terrible but not up to her usual standards. I agree, I'd like to see some new blood in the Aga camp to change things up a bit. Otherwise I don't know.
Yeah Aga serve is really hillarious. It is not that she isnt concentrated and makes dfs bcs of it, but she just isnt strong enough to put the ball in. Regarding athleticism she regressed a lot too. Painful to watch really. Not only will she have to remain slamless but she wont be able to win some lower tier tournaments anymore if she continues like this.

I only saw the first set against Wang. Sounds like she got better in the second set.
Wang's coach, Peter McNamara, was pretty disparaging of Aga when he came on for coaching. He basically said stuff along the lines of "she can't hit the ball" and "she couldn't break an egg she's hitting the ball so slow."
I'm sure she's only using this blacked-out Babolat temporarily until Srixon can tweak the specs of her new racket.
Lucic was on fire. But really it's a disaster for Aga. The scoreline is embarrassing for her regardless of what the opponent was doing.
What would concern is if Aga is happy to take a loss like this and just chalk it up to, okay my opponent was too good on the day, or if she will actually say to her team I need to do something different or better.

I'm going to be taking a break from here for a while, Aga literally has no career and is not even entertaining to watch this year. The whole tour is a disgusting mess and it's getting worse and worse every week.
I'll hope she can revive herself for the grass season, or just straight up retire. See you in a bit guys
Aga is in very weak form, in a big slump
No depth in her strokes, too passive and her serve worse than ever
It did not help that Peng (Indian Wells) and Lucic (Miami) are bad match-ups for her
Peng loves to play Aga who has not much power and annoys Aga with moonballs
Lucic is not afraid of Aga, plays very well and simply has too much power for Aga
I noticed Aga also looks not as motivated as she was before. Because of her boyfriend ?
