Can't stand Kostyuk. What a pos. All her war talk is far too much. Her interview after her loss was a disgrace as usual.
She really took it to the media yesterday Front, I wasnt surprised in her interview after she lost, she should take a leaf out of of Elina Svitolina's book and she donated her prize money to the children of Ukraine in the war times, but does not carry on like Kostyuk

Well I didn't know Clara Tauson would start her own bakery but she did with a super concentrated fight against her former doubles partner Sasnovich.Well done Clara - youre quite close on top 100.

When is Kerber coming back?
knowing Kerbie she will wait and come back for Wimby or the NA HC. She never liked the clay and never really embraced it. Her results on the dirt show it.

A. Potapova (24) too strong for Q Taylor Townsend 61 62
Tough draw. What needs to happen is Taylor needs to commit to playing some more challengers or small events so she can get her ranking up. She needs to stay out of the TC studios and really apply herself to training and getting more match play

I always thought Kerber hada good game for clay, as you said her results on clay proved it, if she could win RG she would have ended up winning all 4 majors

Potapova is one tough cookie, agree Taylor needs more matches, challengers,smaller tournaments, get her ranking up, she is still in the doubles with Fernandez

Her commitment to doubs will keep her from entering a smaller event. I don't want her to get comfortable and become a doubs specialist. Settling for results in doubs because she goes out early in singles. I want to see some dedication and application to the betterment of her individual game.

Yes she needs matches,and like now enter some European events before Wimbledon.She can get more money(euros) in these lower ranks events.I am tired of seeing her lose early year in year out.She should hire a fitness coach and a proper coach.That money she is earning from doubles must be invested into improving her fitness and a sports psychologist.The game is there...

Do you think Taylor wants to commit to playing the tour full time, getting her ranking up? does she also have support from her family as well,

She needs the money to look after her child.I think she is a single mom,and she almost thirty with nothing to show for all the investment her parents made.Its now or never sis..I think she is resting on her laurels too much.She needs a kick in the butt..she should ask for moral support from the likes of Venus who is seems approachable.Sometimes you have to spend money to make money.

I knew she had a child, that is why I asked if she had the support of her family to look after her child, I feel she needs to commit more to the tour eg full time, to get her ranking up, hard to be a single mum and try to take your child on tour say for the whole year, though I know Vika does it.
