I'm very impressed by the level she came up with while winning Ostrava, and now she seems to follow this up with another great tournament. She seems to have turned the page working with her new coach. Some shots that she makes are unreal and she rarely makes unforced errors now. Her bold ballstriking is very entertaining too. The mental side though is still a question mark and she can be ousted with surprising ease by players of Osaka-ilk as US Open 2020 proves.

 

[tony p]

No, she won't.

 

[morgendorffer]

I think she can have bouts of playing well, but is way too choky to serve out a grand slam final.

 

[guitarra]

Interesting prediction. Not obvious but actually I think it's quite likely.

 

[jimbo mack]

There’s around 20-30 players in the top 50 who seem to be a contender for anything these days.

 

[icyyy]

Why not? Winning a grand slam is like winning another pack of Lays nowadays.

This.

I think Anett Kontaveit will win a WTA 1000 tournament in the future, maybe this week already. What do you think?

 

[Sphrontanascier]

Even though WTA is random, Kontaveit would probably be among the few top 50 players I would bet against in a Slam final. Major Lisicki vibes.

 

[Random Run]

She seems to have turned the page working with Sven Groenefeld.

You mean Dmitry Tursunov, right?

 

[goldenlox]

You could start this thread about 50 other slamless players also. I never thought she was good mentally, but I always say they dont have to win one young like Swiatek, Andreescu, Ostapenko
They could win it later like Kerber, Wozniacki, Halep
But there are so many others with a chance and the high pressure matches favor the players who are less accomplished. The ones who did a lot between majors like Pliskova and Svitolina panic deep in majors
And Kontaveit doing well here doesnt translate to late in majors

 

[xenosys]

Well she's now with Tursonov, who seems to be getting the best out of her right now. OTOH, she might just be getting that new coach bounce that some players get when they appoint a new coach, where the level goes up but then eventually comes back down when the honeymoon phase is over.

I wouldn't be surprised if she won at Indian Wells this year, because alongside Jabeur, has probably been the most impressive player on tour since the USO.

Whether she can carry that form and mentality into 2022 is another question.

I think that Maryna Zanevska, 28 years old from Belgium currently ranked 100 in the world, will win a GS in the future, maybe next year already. What do you think?

 

[BLOHM95]

She has shown ability recently to mentally overcome scenarios she has not before so perhaps. She was real close to pulling off the win vs Swiatek at the USO and I don't think she is able to make that comeback vs Bianca 2 days ago a year or two ago once she failed to close out the set

I think it’s too early to drink.

 

[AceOhara]

I like her but I’m confident she never wins a slam.

 

[Perun]

You mean Dmitry Tursunov, right?

Who did I confuse her with, then?

 

[ServeInValley]

If you think so I'd say Wimbledon 2021 most likely, followed by Aussie Open, US Open then French.

I just looked at two futures wagering menus for Australian Open and Wimbledon and the one book wasn't even offering bets on Kontaveit futures.

 

[Geralt]

She looks like she will shit her bed in a slam final.

 

[Perun]

She looks like she will shit her bed in a slam final.

In the past she would shit her pants in a regular WTA final like Ostrava. One step, at a time. Not everyone has to take the world by storm and hardly anyone did. Winning your first title and it being a GS is only a recent oddity.
