ITW to Osaka : "How do you hit those return so sweetly ?"
Osaka : "Well, I've been playing tennis since I was 3 so hopefully at this age I'm somehow okay at it"
SCREAMING 😭😭😭
⛔️✨ [THREAD ] ✨⛔️
Since the WTA 2022 season has been a TOTAL MESS since the first day of January, here a thread of remarkable things that happened this season ⬇️
Now you see that Tsurenko is a fucking hypocrite. She doesn’t want to shake hands with Russian players unless they speak against war but when she faces a Russian that spoke against war she does the same… What’s the real motivation behind this? Speak your mind
R4, here we come!
Daria Kasatkina books her spot in the next round with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Lesia Tsurenko, avoiding the upset alert.
Solid performance and will face either Kudermetova or Potapova for a place in the quarterfinals next.
I’m so tired of playing against pushers 😭😭😭😭😭😭
this point literally killed me, I was up 4/0 in the 3rd set, then lost this point and went out losing the set (and the match) 7/5 💀💀
Brilliant from Bia 👏
Haddad Maia claims her first Hologic WTA Tour title of the 2023 season, defeating Zheng 7-6(11), 7-6(4) in Zhuhai!
#WTAEliteTrophy
These WTA Finals are so unpredictable… Like Sabalenka and Krejcikova are the highest ranked players there, but Kontaveit is quite unbeatable lately, with Pliskova and Muguruza not playing at their best level but still really dangerous, and somehow I can see Badosa winning it all
GUYYYYS!!!! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I was supposed to play with Ugo next week but he doesn’t come back to Paris before leaving for the Australian Open, so to apologize HE GAVE ME THE RACKET HE PLAYED WITH IN HIS FINAL AGAINST RUBLEV IN HALLE 😭😭😭😭❤️
Danimal UNLEASHED 💥
Danielle Collins wins her 10th straight match and second of the day. She defeats Stephens 6-2, 6-2 and secures her spot in the quarterfinals.
#CharlestonOpen
Coco Gauff is also en route to the
#1
spot in the doubles rankings…
If she wins the title this week, she will become the youngest world no 1 in doubles since Martina Hingis in 1998 ❤️

@ValTieBreak
Il a déjà sa statue...
Blague à part pour moi c'est inconcevable de changer le nom des 3 courts principaux parce que ça fait aussi partie de l'histoire du tournoi, maintenant faut trouver une autre façon d'honorer sa "mémoire" une fois qu'il sera à la retraite
9. Elena Rybakina🇰🇿, Russian-born tennis players who was born in Moscow and who lives in Moscow, avoided the ban as she took Kazakhstan's nationality in 2018, and then won Wimbledon, where all Russian and Bielorussian players were banned.
What I think the WTA Top 15 will look like by the end of 2024:
1. Swiatek🇵🇱
2. Gauff🇺🇸
3. Sabalenka🇧🇾
4. Garcia🇫🇷
5. Pegula🇺🇸
6. Rybakina🇰🇿
7. Sakkari🇬🇷
8. Samsonova🇷🇺

2. Iga Swiatek🇵🇱 got the no. 1 spot in the rankings, wins 3 consecutive WTA 1000 titles, 1 Grand Slam, and extended her winning streak to 37 consecutive wins
Ranking my 10 favorite WTA players at the moment :
1. Serena Williams 🇺🇸
2. Petra Kvitova 🇨🇿
3. Caroline Garcia 🇫🇷

6. Jelena Ostapenko 🇱🇻

9. Kristina Mladenovic 🇫🇷
10. Angelique Kerber 🇩🇪
10. Coco Vandeweghe🇺🇸, 30 years old grown woman, called Maja Chwalinska🇵🇱, 20 yo, a « pathetic person » and yelled at her, because she unintentionally hit a ball on her during a match...
3. Dayana Yastremska🇺🇦 flew from Ukraine to Lyon right after the beginning of the Russian invasion, without having trained nor played tennis for weeks, and still managed to reach the final there...
so some people really are coming against Iga because she didnt say anything about what happened in Turkey? lmao where were you guys when shit happened in Japan, Indonesia, Palestine... ?
Sharing the Arthur Cazaux🇫🇷 on court interview after his win against Rune because I find it hilarious 😭😭😭😭
He brings some fresh air idk I love the mood around this guy 🫶🏼❤️
20. Emma Raducanu🇬🇧 is struggling a lot this season but somehow managed to win 2 consecutive sets by 6/0 against Serena Williams (6/4 6/0) and Victoria Azarenka (6/0 6/2)…
I have never felt more happy in my life than these last few weeks. All my friends accepted my coming out without any judgment, I have a new job, I'm getting richer, Ugo is finally winning matches... ❤️ all I'm missing is a man

Thank you for being such a lovely human being and for being such an inspiration and I hope that you’re having a good time in Paris despite recent events 🥰❤️
@kit_connor
people coming after Petra and calling her xenophobic for saying what literally EVERY SINGLE TENNIS PLAYER is saying since the beginning of the war lmao...
you guys needed and found a reason to hate on her since she's the most unproblematic person on tour
well I did it but I'm not sure of my sources (active players or retired recently):
1. S. Williams 110 594
2. V. Williams 65 971
3. Sharapova 60 684
4. Wozniacki 53 407

Building self-confidence requires accepting yourself as u are and after struggling to do so during my entire life, I feel like I'm on the right track now...
The process has been long and is not over yet but I feel a little better in my body every day
3 years separate these pics
15. Iga Swiatek🇵🇱, Beatriz Haddad-Maia🇧🇷 and Bernarda Pera🇺🇸 all won two consecutive titles in two weeks (3 for Iga because it was the Sunshine Double)
why is everyone surprised about Wim's decision and why is everyone blaming him for coming back with Osaka? I mean he was coaching her before her break so that's just logical that he's coming back with her when she plays again why is Qinwen acting like this
Qinwen Zheng says she cried after Wim Fissette told her he was going back to Naomi Osaka:
“Because during the US Open I knew
he had contact with the team of Osaka. Right after the match, he said to me that he felt like he had no connection with me. He never said that to me
