Jack Draper on fire. Alex (Katie Boulters other half) isn't playing too badly either.

 Jack Draper is the cream of the crop in terms of British young players, will be top 32 minimum

If Draper can add a bit of pace to his forehand, and improve his volleying just a little bit he'll absolutely rocket up the rankings. Serves well, backhand is solid and mentally he seems really stable.

Agree on the volleying. Sometimes he can go a bit passive with his forehand, but that guy can hit it as hard as anyone when he really goes for it. One of the most encouraging things for him though is he can already compete at a high level, but you can clearly see where he can improve over the next few years.

Saw the first two sets of the Draper match. Did he drop off or did De Minaur just step it up a few levels in the last two sets?

Bit of both. Alex played at a pretty insane level to be honest

Shame. Draper seems to have all the attributes to be decent level player on tour though. I'm sure he'll pick up a few titles and enjoy the odd run to second week of slams over his career.

Watson has been garbage recently so don't know where this form is coming from!


I’m genuinely confused as to what’s going on here.

Boulter vs Watson final incoming :whistle:

 

Would be very typical of Women’s tennis nowadays tbf.


There’s only one fcker winning the women’s tournament Gavin, and she’s an absolute machine.

She wasn’t very much of a machine yesterday mate.

 

Iga winning a grass tournament isn’t as inevitable as Iga winning on clay or hard.

Fair comment but don’t see who’s going to stop her.

Sakkari now out, highest ranked player in Watson's quarter is now the ever erratic Ostapenko.


She could quite unbelievable make a quarter final, not sure when she’s due to meet Ostapenko.

 

Mind you this is Heather so she could well bottle the next round.

Think they'd meet in the quarters.

Still some big hitters in the top half that will fancy their chances on Grass.

 

If she does reach the final then Jabeur & Ostapenko are the only two who can probably stop her.

 

Iga winning the French felt like a foregone conclusion, don’t think that’s the case with her winning Wimbledon.

 

But if she starts winning Grass tournaments, then the rest of the WTA are officially fvcked lol

I suspect a year too soon for her this year. I still think that if Kvitová plays to the best of her ability, on grass she beats anyone out there.  Big if though.

That’s the thing, everybody else in the draw has been unreliable lately lol 

 

Jabeur beat Iga at Wimbledon last year, the only thing that will stop Ons is her brain.

 

But the same applies to all the rest lol

 

Krejcikova, Badosa, Kvitova, Halep, Gauff & Ostapenko will all fancy their chances if their brains don’t explode.

Halep maybe.

 

Still think Iga will win it, surface differences not as much of a factor for women compared to men.
