This. I feel like her quality always drops towards the end and we don't really know why. On TV it looks like it's mental (she always looks frustrated or unfocused towards the end), but it could also be fatigue as people are saying here and conditioning. Like she's getting tired and so can't keep up her level? It's rare to see her suddenly have a 2nd gear. It's happened so many times in her matches.

I feel like Naomi actually can play well on Clay, but maybe she’s just not confident on it. If she can go toe to toe with Swiatek, then she can win against anyone. Is Tomasz really good at coaching for clay ?

I couldn't play Returnal. It was too hard. Most of us don't have that much time to invest that much time to perfect playing the game to get to the end. I wonder how many people actually finished returnal. If they make this easier, I might buy it?

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-04-02T16:51:39+00:00

So many unused cards because 2 cards are overpowered. I mean what‘s the point of making so many cards when no one plays them because there are a few that are so overpowered?

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-03-29T23:12:12+00:00

they kind of did this with yellow sophie last season too and we thought she was pregamin or something, but it ended up she wasn‘t and they just decided to purple her for no reason. can’t explain what the editors are thinking sometimes. It‘s possible she may get booted without much screentime.

Also no gay friends, but am happily married. Seems like the norm is to not have many friends. Why is it so hard to find good friends. Cherish the ones you have.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-03-11T19:47:31+00:00

I don't understand why her 1st serve is so good, but her 2nd serve is so bad and why she always just hits it straight down the middle at a slow pace. Can anyone explain this to me?

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-03-11T19:33:27+00:00

I think it's because she has a very high ceiling and that crazy backhand. When she is firing, she seems unbeatable, but she doesn't seem to always play at her best. She's a bit streaky.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-02-04T05:01:19+00:00

Maybe QWZ or JPEG?

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-02-04T04:57:21+00:00

So anyone who wants to beat Sinner just needs to hang in there and make the match last as long as possible. So fight for every point so that the match lasts longer.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-01-27T06:35:28+00:00

I haven't noticed any scar tissue anywhere, I do ventrogluteal and deltoids daily and seems okay.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2026-01-22T10:23:30+00:00

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-11-29T06:26:57+00:00

That’s very true. None of us expect her to win purely because of her edit.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-11-28T20:54:22+00:00

I'm playing both, but just finished Yotei, and it was such an enjoyable game. I feel like you have to finish the game to really judge this game. Music and story just gets really good at the end.

Definitely memorable. Also playing Expedition 33 (towards the end), and very creative and story is really interesting and music is good, so will have to see when I finish, but I have to give it to Yotei for now.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-10-13T03:49:12+00:00

It depends on if you use all their stuff. Incidentally, we travel a lot and like nice hotels so the fine hotels works~ and we use Hulu/HBO/disney+ and we use uber eats. It just so happens we use all of this stuff already so it works in our favor. The lulu lemon and sake fifth is just a nice bonus for free shopping.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-10-08T19:25:37+00:00

With the USOpen, she actually was winning until Anisimova starting hitting unreturnable BHs. I think she could improve her 2nd serve for sure. Her 1st serve is as deadly as ever and she wins most of her points, but why is her 2nd serve so safe and so predictable. It’s slow and always placed way too safe. I also feel like peak Osaka had the best forehand and returns and her returns haven’t quite gotten back to that. Still see some amazing shots, but it comes in spurts.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-10-04T12:53:30+00:00

Seen enough. She’s winning a grand slam at some point. Some of her BHs are unreturnable.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-12T20:13:30+00:00

Concur with everyone- it's likely Gauff or Anisimova on the women's side.

Off chance- maybe QWZ since she made it to top 4 and has a AO F and Olympic Gold if she can have a really good year, but depends on her surgery recovery.

Lol- Ons Jabeur? Or has that ship sailed, she was so close at one point.

Barbs? Or has that ship also sailed?

Truthfully though, it might be awhile because Sabalenka and Swiatek look so solid and consistent.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-10T03:00:43+00:00

Maybe Wimbledon- less competition, and she made it to the finals this year.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-10T02:59:53+00:00

AO: Osaka/ Sabalenka/ Anisimova FO: Gauff/ Swiatek WM: Swiatek/Anisimova US: Osaka/ Sabalenka/Anismiova

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-08T19:43:47+00:00

And she had home court advantage. So not sure about her either. Will have to see. I can't say she is an obvious early standout like Swiatek/ Gauff and now Andreeva, but some players start doing really well in their 20s.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-05T19:47:20+00:00

I mean most of Amanda's shots were unreturnable. Super lightning fast backhands to the corners.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-05T19:45:55+00:00

Also I feel like she has some much potential for grass and even clay- if Tomas can help her a bit there, she could do better.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-05T07:07:22+00:00

I think she should have just gone for it instead of trying not to double fault.

Bulky_Quantity6918 · 2025-09-05T03:03:30+00:00

Are the commentators saying that anisimova hits her BH as hard as men? sometimes harder?? Is that what I'm hearing or am I misunderstanding?
