She will become meme one day like Cornet or Pavlyuchenkova

Into the history books!

 

In slams she always loses early but peaks for the 500 - is seeded but doesn't do much except get upset

 

She never has a big run at a major. She had about 96 errors in 1 match with Brengle
Should have won the last Kremlin Cup and did a huge choke in the final

 

don't think so, she plays too badly at the Slams. May reach nr. 11 though

 

She is WTA Gasquet

 

Don't insult Gasquet... please.

 

It's possible but she'll have to do it via the Haddad Maia, Kasatkina method which doesn't require results at the big tournaments.

The formula is 25 tournaments a year and hope for a low points threshold for the cut. Bandiana has gotten close by doing this.

 

I'm gonna say no but I still think there's a deep Slam run in her. She's really good on grass, so probably Wimbledon.

 

Not unless she get do better at slams. Her game is all there. It’s her brain.

 

Just watched a Tennis Channel interview where she talks about Slams. She said she struggles to adjust because there are too many people and she prefers to play smaller tournaments where she's more relaxed.

 

Perhaps the biggest wasted potential, which I think is due to her grumpiness.

I’m obsessed with her flat groundstrokes and her aggressive game when it’s on.

 

Yes!
Am not a huge fan, but have huge respect for her, she can be one of the best players in the world when she is on.
Am not sure how or when, but would be shocking if she ends her career stuck at #15. She has to have a good slam run at some point...

 

I couldn't care less about this player so thanks for adding that option

 

Yep. One of the least talented players ever.

 

Worst body language I've ever seen on tour. Even when she's winning her shoulders are slumped and her face is dour.

 

She's crap. Only wins because WTA is majorly crap.

 

There’s a chance but she has to put it all together at least a single time in a slam. It might be either Wimbledon or US Open. She always loses early in Aussie Open and she’s not competitive on clay.

 

She’s decent enough on clay to make a R4/QF run with the right draw. Got a bit unlucky in 2023 at Wimbledon when she’d been playing well that grass swing drawing Aryna in R4. Highly likely that she’d have gone deeper if she’d drawn someone else.

 

Something that randomly popped in my mind is that she really reminds me of Goerges
-> Very good serve
-> Big Forehand
-> Not afraid of coming to the net (also Goerges did that more often and has been the slightly better doubles player)
-> choker
-> underachieved at big events
-> having randomly winning streaks and sometimes looking unbeatable
-> both >30 when cracking the top 10 (optimistic alexandrova does so by reaching Cincinnati final before losing to Avanesyan/Bronzetti/Bouzkova/Siniakova in US Open Round 1)
-> headcase

 

I mean she can beat the best when she's on, just has to get more consistent

 

Should also mention that she did live up to her ranking in 2024 at the USO and was the only player to take a set from Aryna.

 

And she really outplayed Aryna in that first set at the USO 24! Obviously did beat her in Doha.
Ive started following Ekat and rooting for her (while waiting for Krejcikova to heal up!!!) as she is one of the most low key, low hyped players yet when she is playing well, she has such a great aggressive game.
I would love to see her crack the top 10 and if it is going to happen, this year might be her best chance. A few good runs and maybe..

 

Later this year, way to good not to.
One good slam run this year will do it for her, but of course she's not very reliable, but hey, why not.

 

Too many candidates for top 10...

 

I just looked at the live rankings. First I had no idea she's 30 years old. Even if she wins Charleston, she'd go up to #17 with a 1600 point gap to #10. She could go as high as #6 in the race though... Seeing how inconsistent she is, it's unlikely she'd maintain anything like that with other players coming into their best parts of the season.

I voted no.

 

No , but close enough with a couple of good runs at Slams in the coming years .
She lacks consistency.

 

She’ll reach number 11 someday, just like Alice Cornet

 

She's really close.

Svitolina finished her season, Tauson is running on fumes and the others are nearly 1000 points away! I was expecting Osaka to have a great Asian Swing but that loss to Sasnovich...

She's the kind of player that screams #11 career high but looks like she's gonna make it.

nice bump

w/ a Beijing win, Bencic or Navarro could overtake her but otherwise it's looking decent. If only she didn't crash out early in Beijing

 

Really hope she does. And would reflect her peak level .
Having players like Kudermetova, BHM, Mladenovic, Kirilenko etc make it and not her, just feels criminal!

 

Zheng has a lot of points to defend till the season. Alexandrova is very likely to get her spot in top10.

 

She will make it but like Kudermetova before her will probably not remain within that group for very long

 

She defends Linz title and Doha SF in Februrary so yeah, she won't be there for long unless she has a good AO.
