Genie wasn't well surrounded like Bianca is. Her team right now can make her do all the right things she needs to do. Genie wanted to do everything her way and she took all the wrong decisions. Genie is probably not as bright as Bianca is. The declined handshake incident proves that.
Well, in fairness, I think Arash has a learning disability...
a gameplay and personality that you’d have to try hard to dislike. WTA rejoice!
I don't think it's quite that easy. Bianca doesn't have just one game. She changes tactics on the fly and when she faces an opponent for the first time she tries various things until she finds something that works or uses a shot her opponent can't handle very well. This is why she wins so many 3-setters.
Al least this hype is based on something more substantial than the Gauff hype.
Of course there are no guarantees. But I'll give you a point of difference. I never believed the hype of Bouchard. I thought she was just a freshman's confidence run and that she had very obvious holes in her game that would get exposed if she didn't tweak them - basically her anticipation and reaction to deep balls (and hence, counter/defense), and her serve. I was right about the holes. I just didn't expect the "exposed" bit to bit that harsh. When I watch Andreescu, what I see is a woman with a gameplan and a unique arsenal of shots that she can confidently employ and backs herself. She just feels a lot more watertight than Bouchard did. She's not one dimensional and she has a good mix of offensive play and also controlled rally ball. If one thing that she could improve is her footwork and movement. She is doing alright despite not having Halep like movement. I sincerely hope she proves you wrong.
She crouched on the previous point and her knee hit the ground. That's all. She was just rubbing it.
The knee is fine now I believe, she was just in brief pain because she hit herself in the knee when attempting a lob.
