Iga's usual style wasn't working and she didn't have a backup plan. Not much depended on her, really. It's like you didn't watch the match at all or don't understand how it all works on the ground. This isn't a normal RG where Iga takes the title and Zheng loses in the third round. Lighter balls made her slower not only at certain points in the match, but throughout the tournament.Guest wrote: ↑02 Aug 2024, 07:31Balls made her lose from 4:0 to 5:7 in the second set, come on...Guest wrote: ↑02 Aug 2024, 04:01Of course it didn't.Guest wrote: ↑02 Aug 2024, 03:35She has already talked about what went wrong and the word 'balls' did not leave her mouth once.Guest wrote: ↑02 Aug 2024, 03:04
You didn't know about the balls? Many players noticed this and many results, especially in the men's draw, can be explained by this fact. Her coach screwed up, not a therapist.
And why is it matter what she said?
It was obvious she would have problems with punchers in such conditions.
You seem to be unable to connect the dots and realize that this is a one-tournament problem and no one is going to get fired, of course. There is no tragedy. She'll get back on track soon. And if this does not happen in the near future, then THAT would be a real psychological problem.
Anyway, I found all this "almighty Daria" talks just ridiculous.
"Didn't watch the match at all" my ass. Iga is always the first to talk about the balls if they're negatively affecting her. She explained why she was struggling and it had nothing to do with the balls. "Why does it matter what she said" sums this whole thread up. None of you care about Iga, none of you believe a word she herself says about her own life or her own tennis. Why are any of you even here? None of you can stand her.
