Discussions à propos du match opposant Yastremska et Zheng à Australian Open 2024

Best of luck in the final Zheng.

Dayana for the win and to the AO final!!

I blame Iga for this mess. She's definitely a better player than these two but has the mental strength of a beginner.

Baseline rally games get so boring. No net play, no slicing, o variety. Just bang away all day.

That's why Ash was fun to watch. She could mix it up

A great tournament for Dayana.

I bet Osaka’s coach regrets for dumping Zheng look who’s in the final now.

Zheng for the title

Zheng for this win but it will be tough!

go qinwen!!! so proud of her run up to the semifinals

It's not really gonna be an upset as they have happened in the previous rounds itself. Both are in their first semi final at the slams

Zheng hasn't upset anyone ranking wise on the way to SF. However I am predicting the match will not go with ranking today.

Dan, the Q is Dayana.

Christine - I would say Yastremska has a better chance in the final. She's in the SF because she's on form (taken out 3 seeds?) and she would be a huge underdog in the final. All the pressure would be on Sab. With Zheng I can't see her mentally pulling off a slam unless it were almost handed to her by collapse of others.

Also with the qualifier, yes she's a qualifier, but she was top 30 for best part of a year and a half a few years back before the doping hearing that was cleared and the disruption due to the war etc. There is definitely some underlying quality to her game.

So. If Dayna goes to the final it will be a very awkward situation after the match...given the Ukrainian invasion. The award ceremony will be difficult

I heard a junior Ukrainian player was reprimanded for shaking hands after a match.

Such a horrid situation.

Aryna will pounce on those serves.

As for Iga, when she's wiping players off the court she's fine. It's during tight matches that she gets overwhelmed. Frustrating for sure to see her game get so tight and her nerves go haywire.

God forbid the opponent fights back or hits too hard, Iga falls apart.

Christine. Actually a double bagel final would not be the first. Remember graf FO 88? Same year she took the 4 slams.

Sab, in my opinion, has never been that skillful of a player. Her advantage as I see it mostly comes from her strength, stamina, and aggression. Kind of like hitting a genetic lottery and choosing the right sport to shine. Her against Serena would have been an interesting watch.

That was an incredible tournament, Dayana. What a run these 2 weeks 💛

Dayana for the final🤩💪🏼

Upset predicted here for me

Dayana, for the win & qualify for the Final ✌️

I keep thinking Zheng is a Q for Qualifier doh

I have made that mistake too. About that Q.

It's a toss up for me. Can either of these women give Aryna a match?

Both playing with house money.

What is up with the serves?

Ridiculous serving.....

Is padel threatening tennis? Inside the revolution shaking up the established order

Born almost by accident in an Acapulco garden, padel has in fifty years become a global phenomenon that both fascinates and worries tennis. Its meteoric rise is already reshaping the landscape of racket sports.

Training future champions: spotlight on the decline of the French public model facing private academies

Arthur Millot 06/12/2025 à 13h10

As federations struggle to reinvent themselves, private academies are capturing talent… but also families able to invest tens of thousands of euros a year. A system that is increasingly effective, but also increasingly unequal.

Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars

Clément Gehl 30/11/2025 à 12h25

A tennis player's income depends solely on his sporting results. In the event of injury, the daily life of those far from the Top 100 can become extremely complicated.
