All the threads about endorsements on GM are created by Swiatek trolls, and the word marketability triggers them the most. It's good that they slowly start to admit that it's Emma's popularity that makes them mad. Not that we didn't knew that. I don't think I've seen even one double account banned created specifically to bash Swiatek. But only in the last 2-3 month there have been 10+ double accounts banned specifically created to bash Emma, all big Swiatek fans. All this trolls are non stop on Emma threads not the other way around. Thanks God it's public so everyone can see it.

Well you just all wait till Rybakina has to play Giorgi and you will see what happens (depending on the surface and if Cami's dad is allowed into the country).

Just saying, just saying. Not like I am partial or anything.....

My goodness, another thread about Iga and this time - Elena - has turned to a battleground of Iga and Emma's fans... 😢
I am sad Iga lost and her loss was so harsh, but I am glad she lost to a great player.

Aren't you an Emma's fan posting on Iga's thread right now?

Guilty. But again someone started accusing EE out of nothing, even if there were hardly any posts from members on this thread. 😔

 

[Queen_Of_Spray]

Just didn't have the Roxitova's, Felixleo's and aceofspades to push it past 500, so the thread title needs to be changed to WTA500 IW.

Man you lot should try being a Yastremska fan, it's character building to say the least.

She was ranked #21 as a 19 year old, and now is #142. I thought being an Anisimova fan was "character building", lol.

Where did you find this? Do you have Rybakina's press conference?

I found it when I did a google search “Iga Swiatek press conference Indian wells semifinals”. I did not check for Rybakina but I am sure it is available doing the same search I did

Expected result. I predicted 6-3 6-2 for Elena so I was close.

I feel bad for Iga. She’s still making deep runs but keeps getting exposed by top players tournament after tournament and losing quite convincingly.

The thing is, she’s kinda like Wozniacki but with a worse serve and a lot more error prone hence why she keeps getting beaten so convincingly. I hope she can start being more aggressive.

Another Rybakina vs Sabalenka final of a big event this year. The top girls are delivering this year. Should be a fun one but I expect Aryna to win.

Leaving aside Iga, what on earth does that even mean? How can anybody be "like Woznicaki" but "a lot more error prone"? What is left of Woz then?

Next it's gon be "kinda like Steffi but with no forehand, no slice and trash footwork". Or "kinda like Nadal but right handed, flat hitting, abominable on clay & brilliant indoors...

Don't get too excited haters. Who laughs last, laughs best. That's all I'll say for now

Who laughs last doesn't get the joke.

Elena is not as effective on clay and Aryna really sucks on it, at least slower clay. I’d be surprised if Iga didn’t win RG like 6-7-8 times

Aryna sucked so much she won Madrid beating Barty 2021. Can't remember the speed of the clay however.

 

[shap_half]

What I'm really liking most about Elena right now is that she seems to be playing with more consistent intention of winning the point. I feel like last year, she was too settled in just hitting the ball hard and that's it. But now I'm seeing her play sharper angles, following balls to the net much more, and, in general, a higher level of "going after it." Not sure if this is making much sense. Lol. But anyway, really fantastic level from her in this match. I thought she was going to win but not with such a scoreline.

The clay there is medium fast, same speed as IW.

They are normally here, but still nothing ASAP Sports Transcripts - Tennis - 2023 - BNP PARIBAS OPEN

Congratulations to beautiful Goddess Elena Rybakina 2nd win over world 1# in straight sets!.

Also aryna reached sf in rome last year while she was in her slump period. Pretty impressive so I still expect her to do well on clay season

You seem to be really new to this or sports message boards in general if you don't know the forum psychology behind all this.
Just a slight hint: it's always the superstar or diva type players' fan bases which wreak havoc.

I appreciate the reply. I get the concept. I've raised children, so that's good practice for a lot of this. The grade school age especially.

Anonymous internet machismo never ceases to make me laugh. But there's a lot of good stuff here too, so just have to avoid a lot of these post-match threads. They're pretty useless.
