I said it a couple of months ago and brehs in this thread acted like they wanted to fight me — Naomi is done.

She lucked into her fame after Serena melted down back in the US Open. She loves the trinkets that come with fame but as we can clearly see, she can’t consistently perform under the spotlight.

Time to start a hair/skin care line and stop wasting these tourney seedings

I'm leaning towards this, but I will give her the benefit of the doubt because she is 26, and there may be a turning the corner moment from the mental breakdowns and being a new mother. Even with all of that, she's still talented enough to make it to the 2nd/3rd round of a Grand Slam

But you have a point, her mental makeup is alarming

Ehh. Her game doesn’t suit clay or grass. She’d tell you that herself

But don't you think the upcoming US Open is a make or break tournament for her?

Her game doesn’t suit earth at this point.

She should be eating like crazy in this current era of women’s tennis.

And yea, I think she’s done.

Nah she's still young (she's only 26)...more than anything she needs to get more matches under her belt

She gotta play some 250 events to get her self back in rhythm

I’ma give her a year or two to see. I agree with Nero with she should consider playing more 250-500 events and get matches under her belt and get that ranking up. She gone continue to run into in form players early in tournaments and get outted

Gonna go with 2014 (more depth throughout the 10

Radwanska was an underrated player...With how baseline heavy the WTA is now...she'd be troubling a lot of females

Agree. She was destroying Iga on clay in the French a few months ago but was mentally ready to finish her. It takes time with a come back.
