Completely mystifying how a player can never get to the 2nd week in a Slam until their late 20s and then become a finalist in back to back Slams. On two entirely different surfaces. That's insane.

That was one of the best played matches of Wimbledon, BTW.

Mentality change

Just like that Paolini is in the WTA upper echelon

You can't convince me a healthy Sabalenka doesn't win this year tho

Rybakina was supposed to win this with who was left. I heard the best analogy to describe the chaos of women's tennis on The Tennis Podcast. One of the hosts said the WTA is a bunch of dormant volcanoes that can erupt at any time.
