Oh dear. I wonder why such a turnaround in form. Appreciate a lot has been going on in her life and there have had to be a lot of changes but her form has taken such a massive nose diveChris_from_Sidcup said:Beaten 6-0 6-10 -
Hitherto she has played with freedom and self belief.PrincessFiona said:

Now she has the weight of expectation and her opponents see her as a scalp worth taking0 - Sponsored links:

Don't forget she has just recovered from COVID so possibly lacking fitness.2
-
She did well at Wimbledon and won the US Open but her form apart from that in other tournaments has been poor. Expectations are far too high at present.
She needs to start winning a few matches.1 -
So many first time Slam winners, especially on the women's side, seem to struggle really badly afterwards.0

Murray up against Nikoloz Basilashvili tomorrow - will be a good test

There is no strength in depth on the women's tour - results are far more inconsistent.killerandflash said:So many first time Slam winners, especially on the women's side, seem to struggle really badly afterwards.0 -

Raducanu is refreshingly honest about where she is and in admitting that very thing she is mature far beyond her age. She hasn't played for ages and has just had Covid. But we cannot expect her to get any consistency until she fully understands her own game and that might take a few years.
She's hardly played any tennis at the top level and won a Grand Slam because of her talent, the exuberance of youth and because all the stars happened to align at the same time. I would liken that performance to Zak Crawley's 267 for England - everything he did there was probably on instinct but his subsequent performances lead me to believe that he didn't actually understand how he got there. His last innings was the first time since that he actually looked in command and an imposing opening Test batsman.
I still hope that Raducanu wins the Australian Open but I certainly wouldn't be backing her to do so. Ultimately though, she will be one hell of a player.5 -
She needs a full year on the tour before we can start getting a real idea of where she ranks. The random results on the women's tour reflect how inconsistent the players are compared to the men's tour.Addick Addict said:Raducanu is refreshingly honest about where she is and in admitting that very thing she is mature far beyond her age.

Agreed. She definitely has the ability, shots, determination and character etc - you don't achieve what she did without them. Personally I have no expectations for a year or two when things normalise.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Good victory for Dan Evans.1

Cracking victory for Murray against the No2 seed today(world 23). His backhand and serve were really good .hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Murray up against Nikoloz Basilashvili tomorrow - will be a good test3 -
Murray struggles to follow up great wins, it's as if physically he can't raise himself again as so often the next match is a damp squibhoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Playing David Goffin next who he'd expect to beat. Needs to get a few wins together to start climbing the rankings.killerandflash said:

I hope physically he'll be up for the next match. The game today was over three hours.2 -
Great result for Andy. 2022 is now or never for him you'd have to think.0

Needs to get into the top 100 and work his way up. Played some really good tennis today and we just have to hope his fitness holds up.Callumcafc said:Great result for Andy. 2022 is now or never for him you'd have to think.
He's shown such determination getting over surgery and I hope he can start contending again.1 -
