How would you now rate Aryna Sabalenka's chances of winning the French Open on a scale of 1-10?

jas1955140d ago

Not her best surface I don't think but her skill and grit always 10 out of 10. 8 out of 10 to win tournament.

edwardbantonio150d ago

10 She can get it Talent Precision Brain 10/10

Is men's tennis boring without Carlos Alcaraz?

richardmbonas60d ago

Yes it is. His style of all court play with volleys and drop shots makes his opponent leave the baseline and come in. Thus, a more varied and exciting match. Jodar vs Fritz was a pretty boring match though the score was close. Just blasting from the baseline didn't do much for my interest. But, add in Carlos and it's a whole different and more exciting match

I think there are some new tennis players rising & that’s exciting to see instead of Sinner & alcaraz winning all the titles. That’s to predictable. We need excitement

melbournexx100d ago

Definitely NOT. Tennis is much more than just 2 or 3 players. Besides Sinner, theres a complete"buffet" of very exciting young players: Fils, Shelton, Mensik, Draper etc. And this is why its far from boring; the variety of excellent young players.

peter.lynch160d ago

Where do you think Rafael Jodar will be ranked at the end of 2026?

george.patten161d ago

Top 25/30? That is if he plays as well on grass and hard as he has on clay

callumdaviestennis161d ago

I think the top 10 isn't really that strong. He has a great chance to break into it if he keeps this up

peter.lynch161d ago

Can see him in the Top 20, certainly not an easy feat!
