Tennis

Gauff won Beijing yesterday. Great performance in the final and she’s proven to be a very tricky matchup for Muchova. Coco now leads their H2H 3-0.




She's been hitting her forehand better in China than she has the whole year dd. She split with Brad Gilbert only 3 weeks ago, so it can't be just that, right?
 
I just can't root for these billionaire heiress tennis players.
I don't root for them either particularly, but regardless of your background, you don't get to be top 10 in the world without putting in a lot of hard work. At least they're doing that rather than living off Daddy's money.

Hmm... Yes, but they never had the pressure of having to worry about money or if they can afford to play tennis.
They had the comfort to dedicate their lives to tennis without financial hardship, like most 'normal' players do.

A lot of players come from wealthy backgrounds. Fritz being another. Makes the stories of the Williams sisters, Djokovic etc that much more remarkable considering how expensive a sport tennis is to pursue professionally.

Coco’s outfit is somehow simultaneously ghastly and serving high fashion. I’m transfixed.

(And Jasmine randomly being plonked on a folding chair is sending me.)
