    I wish Navarro wins today. I liked her while watching her playing this us open. She is very athletic. I am not sure how she lost that easy to Poalini in Wimbledon. I didn't watch that match :)

    Probably Sab is ending her run today or maybe Navarro can frustrate her with her athletisim.




    Never thought much of her but I'm coming around now I've had a good look
    She's pretty good, not a choker like eg Jabeur, knows how to fight to
    the end. Hope she keeps it up.

    and disagree with another.I like her grit and determination. She
    maintains close control over her head. All of this is exemplary.I
    don't think she has much game, however; it's fairly narrow. The
    negatives are weak service (1st/2nd) and mediocre return of serve.
    The pluses are (as you say) decent athleticism, court coverage, fair
    defense. One BIG plus: while she does not have a lot of rallying
    power (not a heavy ball, apparently, with "heavy ball" meaning what
    we saw from Sinner last night vs Medvedev), but she is unafraid to
    really unload on a ball she thinks she can attack. This takes many
    better players by surprise.I don't recall volley or overheads, so
    cannot comment.I, too, hope she wins.We're about to see...:^)--

    problem specially against Sabalenka.Her ground strokes are really good and has good grip on both wings. I am not sure who you are comparing her to regarding ground strokes but this was the toughest match for Sab this tournament if I remember correctly.--

    Btw, not saying she is the greatest or something :)
    But she is very promising and I believe she improved a lot over
      the last 12 months.



    Yes. She is only 23. What she has accomplished is considerable and impressive.

    If she improves her serve that would take her to another level.

    I have enjoyed watching Emma this summer. Losing to Sabalenka in the
    semis of a slam is nothing to be ashamed about. Good on her!
