Agree to disagree. Dude beat Novak at one of the most prestigious slam less than 5 months ago. He’s injured. Becker’s take suffers from recency bias.
Eta: i can’t stop giggling about the tweet below by facettesparis thinking it was related and the ferocious feline was becker or alcaraz
I think she lost weight and gets fatigued on her shots due the the viral illness (covid most likely) in Paris. Actually she’s really bulked up because in matches of hers from 2021, early 2022 she had more baby fat. Her proportions now is honestly perfect (I’m a straight gal and sometimes I question if I’m jealous/envious or plain attracted to her physique, probably both!)
Well, she needs to figure out Iga because they’re predestined to meet in the early rounds of every tournament it feels like.
In order for her to reach #1, which she has said many times is her goal, she’d have to win at least a slam next year.
I expect her in the top 3 and remaining there for the duration of 2024. She also should come into the year with an approved net game and better movements. The tail-end of 2023 was pretty abysmal for Rybakina, imo. If she regresses in 2024, I would be very concerned for her long-term trajectory.
I wish tennis kits had player’s name somewhere, especially when there inevitably is a wardrobe dupe and both players are wearing the same thing on court
So Eastern European it hurts
Truly a nail-biting match
I have Soooooo much respect for Aryna!!!
