$40 is a lot, right, for 8 madeleines? are they supersized?

waiting for some of the americans to break through. is coco the only one with a major? osaka is basically an american but she competes for japan because they gave her money as a youth whereas the americans didnt see her potential. oh maybe madison keys won an aussie not long ago but she always felt like second tier talent, no disrespect. kind of like the american men. kind of sniff the top 10 occasionally but not "world class" as so few ever really are or maintain.

dont watch enough to really know but ben shelton at 23 and ranked 8th could have that tournament where everything falls into place. can he be a consistent top 5 player for a few years? have no idea. just saw theres that fritz guy who has been in the top five but does seem like a doormat when push comes to shove in the semis or above at a major. same with pegula on the womens side but the womens game is always a little more slippery. there hasnt been true domination like the federer, nadal, djokovic era even with serenas career achievements. someone like keys slips in and wins at least one major every year. but maybe asking sinner and alcaraz to dominate like their predecessors is asking too much of them. there will be more randomness on the mens side.

long way round to just noticing another american at 14 who is only 20. havent seen him play yet but at 20 yo he will start to get some hype outside or tennis circles if he can start advancing deeper in majors. meanwhile ill wait for anisimova who seems to have slipped a little and jovic at 18 or 19 who still is on the rise to make so noise along with the filipino eala who everyone likes. thats my very uniformed tennis corner.

ive half watched half a set so far. just caught jovic make quick work of her opponent while gauff was carving through hers.

Learner Tien is now the fifth American in the Open Era to claim Grand Slam match wins at all four events before turning 21 after Andy Roddick, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras and Tien’s coach, Michael Chang. Adapting.
