i really love how composed and humble naomi osaka is... i hope she can continues her form against aga.... well her consistency must be as it peak as she always struggles against players who are more consistent on the baseline....
I love how Osaka is simply moving from strength to strength without airs. Fairly transparent transitioning. Can't hide that much again behind the little shy humble quiet Japanese girl persona. She is more than that for sure. Rooting for her to reach the top.
So it looks like Maria lost to the winner of the whole tournament and she did get the better score against Naomi than others ( Halep, pliskova , radwanska).
I'm happy that Sharapova is out of the tournament, tired of listening to her screaming with each shot. She used to grunt, now she just flat out screaming.
Maria had best match against osaka who is now 3 slam champ . This loss didnt deserve that bashing lol. Naomi just came out as top player this tournament
IF only Naomi can play consistent through the season, then she could be a big tennis player, no doubt! Congrats for the great win! Another humiliation for Sharapova!
The real elephant in the room is that people pretend that she really was a top player, well, not according to the WTA statistics page on wikipedia, where you can hardly find her in all the lists of top players / top achiements. Face it, she is so popular because she is blond, has blue eyes and is the opposite of what many people can't stand: the black queen that reigns for years now (and who DOES appear in all those lists on that page). She had great results, you don't hear me deny that, but not constant enough to be considered one of the greatest. That is by the way the real issue with the WTA tour: besides Serena there hasn't been a reall top player for the last 10 years, sad but true. Please Halep, Sharapova, whatever fans.. line up and respond with opinions without facts. Please do, I'll get my popcorn in the meantime.
Just stop. Maria don't have blue eyes her are green. She is amazing player besides she is pleasant to look at in contrast to some pumped monsters who should play male tennis.
Blond hair but her eyes are brown not blue. She is what Anna Kournikova never was from a marketing point. They need to make her stop that horrendous grunting.
You’re dumb as fuck. In an era where Serena Williams is, she has the most grand slams besides Venus Williams. She is one of the greatest players of this era, if not, the best besides the William sisters. She’s more successful than you sitting at your computer typing up hate 😭
Thank God, Osaka has become more of a consistent player. A year ago She probably would've gotten herself off of the court with errors. This match she did make a lot of unnecessary errors, but at least it's not as bad as it used to be.
Since tennis is becoming faster, Maria can’t keep up with opponents. Strong hitting now goes together with decent movement. Sharapova doesn’t seem to fit it anymore
that was my first impression as well. Maria's style is outdated. she needs to adopt sth new to compete young fresh players. Dunno can big Serena compete with fast quick young girls, like Zhang for example.
Thiem Rooter you have a good point.The new generation of tennis players are faster and move better and i'm not sure if Sharapova can catch up to that.She's talented but def not that fast.
the meldonium helped her to recover between the matches and to chain victories .. without meldonium she is nothing anymore ... we are still waiting for all the pride she has told in her book to come true. . poor proud girl in nothing.
Sharapova has always been a slow start. I remember her recovering from other injuries, same case. She needs to play a lot to get into the rhythm. The only main difference now is that she may be a bit older and she is not as athletic as the other players.
I'm not dreaming! She currently IS cleaning the WTA. Gone GI Serenade Williams, gone Sister Halep and gooooone Uebersturmcunt Sharapova 😋 Naomi, just for those 3 you deserve your golden seat in heaven! Thank you thank you thank you 😊😊😊
No sound from Osaka at all. Maria is fun to watch, maybe that obnoxious grunt is coming to an end soon. The next generation is ready to dominate, maybe quite times ahead of us in w's tennis. How refreshing.
Yeah I hate to keep bringing it up. But a knowledgeable tennis fan such as myself who has been watching Maria since the beginning of her career can see that she is CLEARLY affected by having to get off this drug. I mean she has no where near the stamina or even power on her own shots that she had previously. It is becoming more and more clear to me that she needed that drug to create the career she has now.
I think WTA is aware of players taking this kind of medicines... If the players give an amazing game it is helpful for the promotion of tennis. Audience had their entertainment and players and WTA made a lot of money. Now they decided to change the marketing strategy and maria got cornered. She made millions. I DONT think she is very sad about this.
Masha has to work on her movement and getting faster. Any player with a faster pace and quicker movement outplays here because she cant keep up. She has no time to setup for her ground strokes which is what wins her points.
Naomi could always hit the ball hard, and I always thought she had great potential, but now.... I think she's lost weight. She looks faster and is more agile than before.
Maria should find a new coach like Carlos Rodríguez( former Justine Henin's and Li Na's coach), who can bring her something new. I think this coach can inspire a new level and more skills to Maria.
Huh? Maria played Osaka with more confidence and a better score than Serena did when she faced Osaks. Sit down. Maria Sharapova never fear NO ONE. Not even Serena.
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 wtf? Maria looks the same when she plays anyone with her one dimensional game. I have no idea what that has to do with what I said, obviously you lack comprehension and tennis IQ, in any event, more or less confidence, she still lost. Serena has a win over Naomi and she's beaten Maria 19 times in a row.
Naomi Osaka Serve And Game Is Very Similar To Serena No Wonder She Bested Sharapova In Straight Sets Osaka Future In Tennis Is Very Bright I’m Predicting Grand Slams And World No.1 Once she controls her power and be low on unforced errors
If in doubt of enhancement, please search grindeks meldonium (grindeks is manufacturer of meldo so they might know why they're rolling in the dough). When I used to compete in cycling (amateur), friends also claim that Amgen's EPO isn't a PED, either. If you compete in a sport requiring endurance, anything affecting blood flow, oxygen uptake, recovery does wonders. Sure it doesn't enhance your performance, buddy....you just take it cuz it's cheaper than a Costco multi vitamin...even in the Philippines, EPO still cost my buddy $100 a dose 10 years ago. They saw the American wallet coming a mile away.
I look for the strengths of Sharapova but I cannot see anymore, except her screaming. She is much experienced and powerful yet there is a contrast. I also think that her technique goes more and more behind. I dont know is it only me thinking this :/
Sharapova without meldonium is a completely different player. It makes me question how many titles she stole from other players with her doping. All tough matches vs Halep, Radwańska and others.
