She was 4-0, 4-2, 5-3, *5-4 (had mp) and *6-5 up in the third set and still had to play a match tiebreak

I think conditions matter a lot for her. Finals and United Cup were both indoors. Her issues with the serve and forehand can probably be managed a lot more in those circumstances. She'll probably have another strong end to the season after everyone writes her off

Very true! Her technique on her forehand and second serve can get exposed in the wind.

Straight up, how can anyone enjoy watching Gauff's tennis? I can only assume she has stans due to her athleticism and personality, cause her racket skills should make any true tennis fan cringe.

Did you watch her at Wuhan, WTA Finals, United Cup (just in recent memory)? Ofc she doesn’t play like this sh*t every match otherwise she wouldn’t be number three in the world! Nobody enjoy watching their faves when they’re playing bad, it was a awful match.

Yeah it's always an eye sore.

She plays more matches like these than good matches.

She’s a lot more fun to watch when she’s in form lol? When she’s low on confidence, her level craters.

A win is a win but that was simply ghastly from Coco. 74 errors, 21 double faults. Shanks missing the court by feet. Routine short balls in the middle of the court dumped into the net or hit right back to Uchijima. Squandered 3 match points and a 4-0 lead in the final set. Even her footwork looked sluggish today. If Uchijima hadn't been struggling physically, this may have had a different outcome.

I don't understand how her game has fallen completely off a cliff since United Cup, truly baffling. Whatever her and her team are doing right now, it's not working!

Same thing happened last year tbh. After losing the AO SF, she didn’t start playing well until Rome.

I disagree with that. Her floor level’s usually better than today. That’s why she was a breadstick/bagel leader (behind only Swiatek) last year.

 

[Shankitova]

Exactly.

I like Coco but can’t help but think it’s a bit of a bad look for the sport when she often throws in performances like this in front of big audiences as one of the top players, with probably the biggest spotlight. Because how can that serve and forehand be at the peak of the sport (I’m realising having wrote that maybe it is fitting for the WTA brand after all )

 

[Shankitova]

I was quite impressed with Uchijima‘a tactics today. Obviously Coco was very poor, by her own admission as well, but Moyuka did a good job of exploiting/targeting the Gauff weaknesses as they were falling apart which is something opponents sometimes fail to do well enough when they have the opportunity

Ppl pretending she plays this horrendous every match making 21 dfs and 70+ ufes… ofc

Her BH can be pretty nice to watch I think.

 

[iGOAT]

I watched a bit of the third set and Cori was leading 4-0 with UCHIJIMA injured then see this result

 

[Matmagix]

Uchijima almost cut down Raducanu and Gauff!!

She delivers more ugly ass matches than good ones, is my point.

Ooo decent opportunity missed for moyuka

 

[Ishkur]

21 double faults?

That's Kournikova level.

 

[Ishkur]

Exactly.

This.

You wanna grow the popularity of women's tennis? Don't double fault 21 god damn times.
