Tennis - Sinner accepts three month ban - won't miss Roland Garros (1 Viewer)

Let's check back in a couple years and see.

And it seems like you have a lot riding on her failure for some reason.

This post was about RaduCanu. I said she'd be a one off.. seems like a lot of people disagreed.

I was right.. she'll not win another major. we've given it 4 years.

She's ranked 33rd currently and has been playing well lately, she's had a lot of injuries including operations on both her wrists which isn't so easy to come back from in tennis. Her US Open title was a bit of a fluke, she didn't beat a ranked player so predicting that she won't win another grand slam wasn't exactly going out on a limb although I get a lot of people were excited about her after she won. Also she's only 22.

Lmao. We were all excited 4 years ago about 2 unranked players being in the finals- raducuno winning it through qualifiers. As i recall, you were unhappy about the state of women's tennis because of this, despite the rest of our excitement over the flukiness of it, and felt inclined to disparage the players rather than celebrate their getting there.

I could be wrong, but i dont think anybody was calling for them to be the next Serena. And I thought Fernandez was the better player (i think she just won a tourney). But ok...big victory for you i guess that these young women havent gotten back to a finals?

What a weird thing to trumpet after 4 years.

many people were saying because what she did was in fact impressive - not dropping a set and rolling through the quallies.. even if she never beat a top 10 player.. its a run. And I think most people were saying she would be a factor moving forward.. not a potential goat.. just a factor.. and she's not even that. It might be the flukiest result in almost any sporting event i've witnessed... and certainly women's tennis sure has some crazy one slam wonders.. and hers might be the craziest of that.

I'm pretty sure I was one of the people who said you were crazy when you said that.

So, tip of the hat. She hasn't been good at all since that point overall.

Too bad about Sinner withdrawing today. Another Alcaraz Sinner epic final wouldve been great for the sport, especially hesding into the US Open.
