Who were the 9 slam winners they introduced?(as in why so significant?)

I didnt quite follow

3210

They were the original 9 women who started what is now the WTA tour as I understand it.

Broke away from establishment.

3211

Rybakina is a machine.

Too good in the end

Hopefully Sabalenka wins will be a cracker final

3214

That was a good match, Arazenka’s serve went down the toilet in the second set and it made it impossible, Rybanka took full advantage.

3215

I really enjoyed Jelena’s courtside interview with her.

Sabalenka v Rybakina is going to be a worthy final.

Rybakina less fragile, less lapses, should win though.

Blame goes to Monica Seles who was the first to start the screaming out loud for each shot.

That was powerfull by Sabalenka just reminded Linette whos the better player amazing TB

3220

Sabalenka just too strong. Linette played well but just didn’t have the weapons in the end. Should be a great final.

Sabalenka too good 33 winners to 9 the diffrence in the end

Going to be great final

3222

Novak gets such angles on his shots when he’s in top form - Some of the angles are just plain ridiculous. Sabalenka and Rybakina will come down to who can hold their nerve as they have similarly, powerful games.

Shes great

If she hadn’t changed nationality from Russian to Kazakh when she was 19yo, she wouldn’t have been Wimbledon champ.
Azarenka rightly bristled at being asked political Qs by sports journalists because of her nationality. Others don’t get that treatment.

3225

I would like to see Nole vs Tspitatas
And Nole destryoy him, like he did De Minaur

Womens final 0 interest, maybe if Azarenka made it may have watched.

Totally different to watching most parts of Bartys matches last year.
And probably watched more of the womens final than mens due to Barty.

Was really hoping Medvedev would win last year once Kyrgios knocked out, and with no Nole.

3226

the grunting in womens tennis is a travesty.

How has this year’s AO been received??

I feel like it has lost its buzz. Especially without Ash.

Good. She was boring.
