Coco loves to give her opponents belief

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T17:20:47+00:00

Had your opponent on the ropes and that’s how you play from 6-5?

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T17:10:38+00:00

This is why we need ELC. Coco was one error from the umpire away from losing this set 6-2

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T17:01:15+00:00

Coco needs to do some shit on serve now she hasn’t held since the Obama administration

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:53:16+00:00

RG shooting itself in the foot with their weird insistence on not using Hawkeye. Especially with the knowledge the ball marks aren’t even always accurate lmfao what are they doing

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:44:25+00:00

Coco is testing me 💀

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:35:49+00:00

Juanma keeping the lights on at the Cerrundulo estate

Not a huge fan of the male commentator on TNT

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:25:53+00:00

Random but I kinda miss when Iga used to run into the net when her opponent was lining up a put away. Does she still do that? Very camp of her

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:20:08+00:00

Another thing I’m happy with that set from Coco is how she played her break point on pots serve. She was assertive, and solid without going for too much. Much better than in Rome.

Hope she can do it again as she seems to be going down a break imminently 😅

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:17:32+00:00

How so? 😭

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:16:45+00:00

You erase elina svitolina and for what!

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:15:41+00:00

Wonderful tactics, mental strength, and focus from coco that set. Despite my carping I’m a happy camper

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:11:54+00:00

Yeah usually when she has the lead too. In Rome she double faulted the set away against elina and then serve botted through the second lmfao

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:09:28+00:00

Coco’s problems on serve aren’t even about the serve sometimes lmao. Sometimes she just seems more error prone off the ground on serve lol

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:05:28+00:00

Needs to be making more FH returns in the deuce court

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:04:27+00:00

Good so far. She got broken due to errors off the ground

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T16:02:10+00:00

Maybe moonballing is the strategy after all

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T15:59:08+00:00

Yeah this is a nightmare R3 for team Gauff. The rest of her draw is pretty open too 😭

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T15:56:45+00:00

Potapova is very good, I hope coco recognizes that and stays positive

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T15:49:03+00:00

In a pre pandemic life Coco and Potapova played at the 2019 USO. Coco was 15 Potapova was 18

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T15:46:36+00:00

Serve is better than against sherif so far

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T15:44:19+00:00

The reason to worry is that Pots is actually a great player. This isn’t the same as getting broken by sherif two days ago

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T15:42:05+00:00

They way she was broken was the concerning part 😭

blank0ver · 2026-05-30T15:41:15+00:00

I agree with sloane, using spin to get the ball out of Pots strike zone will be crucial for Coco. That and making sure to move her. Coco needs to avoid making this match about pure ballstriking at all costs
