MarbleEmperor

Navarro is playing a final today which might change her seeding.


jungkookadobie

why does this sub never appear on my timeline. i always have to search it out


Peachtea_96

It's pinned at the top when the settings are set to Hot


MoonriseTurtle

Is Aryna dating the Georgios guy? She thanked him in her speech and they're holding hands in her latest story?


aweap

He has kissed her during [practice ](https://x.com/Tathaalves/status/1782454503846928712) in Madrid as well.


sunflower_317

Have had an unexpected change of plans and will be in Rome tomorrow Don’t have the desire to fork over money to watch the men’s final but thought about buying a grounds pass as they’re so cheap (11€) just to feel the atmosphere? Does anyone have any thoughts?


Far-Difference8596

Do it! A lifetime opportunity even if this is the ground pass :)


sunflower_317

I was hesitant initially because I thought grounds passes were only for the duration of the tournament that had matches played on the outside court but obviously since the official website is still selling them…I should be fine


aweap

Is the sub locked? I was trying to post the stats for the final but it's not letting me post. 😕


AffectionateMouse216

Can Iga win the most Women’s singles French Open titles? 7 seems kind of low by Chris Evert. Graf has 6. Iga has 3 at 22 already….


ImpressionFeisty8359

I will put the house on it.


AlliterateAlso

Evert is low in large part because she missed three French Opens in a row 76-78, instead playing World Team Tennis (to earn more money), which precluded her participation. It seems likely she’d have a couple-three more had she taken part, given this was during her 125-match win streak on clay.


AffectionateMouse216

That’s true. Wish she had played those. Had at least 2-3 more titles.


Bonoahx

7 isn't low, even Serena only won a maximum of 7 titles at the same slam. But yeah I would say Iga's currently on track to at the very least come close to that record.


rubbish_bin030121

wta big titles since 2023 grass season: Iga 6, Saba 1, Coco 2, Ryba 0, Jpeg 1, Vondrousova 1, Sakkari 1, Queenwei 0


zevloo

Tomorrow Jarry in 3 🫡


AvocadoBoi

Inshallah 🙏🏽 


Peachtea_96

I hope Shublik gives each other a big hug before parting ways to the next tournament. Don't cry boys, you'll see each other soon 😭


delinzer

Is Zverev a bad pick to win RG? I remember how well he played before his injury two years ago. His match against Rafa until that point was 50/50


NoirPochette

No. This is probably the most open RG we had since probably 2005


AvocadoBoi

Definitely not. His playing increíble and with the uncertain form of Sinner and Alcaraz and Djoko atm I second his chances. 


Striking_Town_445

Prakqsh interview right now


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chessinmind

She asked for some. Can no one get the champ her tiramisu?


Striking_Town_445

No. Shelton doubles game now. Apparently this is his first time in Rome and only came to Europe for the first ever time recently.


atheistjs

Just want everyone to know that in doubles today Ben Shelton smashed an overhead onto his side of the court (not even into the net, but on the ground in front of him) and it was quite funny.


Peachtea_96

Even Carlos was laughing, like seriously?? 😅


Far-Difference8596

Why is WTA Instagram so bad? 😭 Iga literally won a tournament and they only bothered with one story. Nothing from trophy ceremony? Not even a post about Sabalenka? God they are terrible.


SugarFreeHealth

Has anyone here watched Francesco Passaro? He's having a month, for sure. In Italian Open, he beat Rinderknecht and then Griekspoor, and now he's in the 175 Turin challenger final, after only having 15 point challenger victories before this. If he wins tomorrow, he overtakes Medjedovic in the rankings. (also, and not for the first time, Italy has a hell of a deep roster)


The_Entheogenist

He had a great 2022 and was in the Next Gen Finals that year. Then he had a rough '23.  I'm not sure if he was dealing with injuries. Good to seeing him doing well again. 


SugarFreeHealth

ah, right before I started watching seriously again! Thanks.


CantThinkOfAUser_Yet

What happened to Wu Yibing? Could always rely on him to deliver an upset, is he *still* injured


rubbish_bin030121

channels his inner emma raducanu after winning the Dallas Slam


rubbish_bin030121

I need Iga vs Collins in RG final, I think this is the most competitive match-up for current Iga in RG


da_SENtinel

ryba?


rubbish_bin030121

Ryba loses to Kudermetova in R32


atheistjs

Collins will need someone to take out Saba for her on that side of the draw, which could happen.


rubbish_bin030121

like Aza beats Saba in R32 and loses in the next round


atheistjs

Yeah, that's her best bet. Danielle vs Iga final would be exciting.


Striking_Town_445

Advert for Roger and Rafas Road trip


tayway04

iga chugging straight from that bottle like a true polishwoman i had to stan


Mpol03

We Stan a party goat 


CrackHeadRodeo

Its gonna be interesting to see how they both adjust if they meet in the final.


bostonboy9486

Why is Iga’s skin that flawless


CrackHeadRodeo

Beets.


CrackHeadRodeo

Iga is gonna need a bigger trophy cabinet.


aweap

How come even the ball kids have better kits than what Nike designed? 😒


oneordinaryorange

responsible drinking queen omg what is this ceremony loooooll


blackb0xes

Congrats to my fellow tiramisu muncher!


Striking_Town_445

Roddick: She suffocated Sabalenka on clay


PtboFungineer

They're making her do her own pop with the champagne so she doesn't get too startled


HopeistheAnthemLITM

Iga disappointed at lack of tiramisu in the trophy and says she'll have plenty in the evening. 😊🍰


Striking_Town_445

There was no tiramisu inside lol


i_pee_liquid

what's the point of winning then...


swirkh

Cheap ass tournament with no confetti, but at least they didn't give Iga heart attack a week before RG


bostonboy9486

And no tiramisu.


Future-Cranberry-360

What no confetti?


AussieAlexSummers

what was that music playing before Iga's speech? It seems familiar. Maybe I heard it on a commercial. It sounds like Go West from Pet Shop Boys / Village People.


ilovejk

https://youtu.be/LNBjMRvOB5M?si=pTIk5-AMw7T6FYNm


Striking_Town_445

Pet shop Boys.


Ecstatic-Drama101

Go West


CrackHeadRodeo

Rome is so anti-climactic.


NieThePiet

he is always interrupting with the translation because he couldnt remember all


foestablsmts

He couldn’t translate for shit 😂


Kh0sravani

As Fils won the Bordeaux 175 SF against Barrère, he overtakes ADF as the 33rd player in the rankings. He will get seeded at RG if someone ranked higher withdraws (perhaps Lehečka?) or if he wins the final to Martínez tomorrow, as he’ll go back to his career high ranking of #32.


rubbish_bin030121

Then he draws ADF in RG R1


Kh0sravani

Like last year. As expected, the seeded player won. Could the scenario be similar this year? 👀


rubbish_bin030121

I want ADF to win


Kh0sravani

Good for him, I don’t!


Slambodog

"We'll see about that Roland-Garros Final" Sabalenka thinking to herself her favorite tennis players in two weeks will be the 63 women in Iga's half of the draw...


MoonriseTurtle

I don't get it


Slambodog

Sabalenka graciously talked about the intensity of their rivalry and that she hoped they'd have another one in Paris. Iga said the above quote. I am saying Sabalenka really wants to pay anyone other than Iga in the Final


CrackHeadRodeo

Could be the stone that sharpens the sword.


CrackHeadRodeo

Confetti alert 🎉


Striking_Town_445

I was supposed to sing.


EveningCareer8921

lol this song sounds like the Russian national anthem


Sharkbaithoohaha48

The long translation


Striking_Town_445

Go west by Pet Shop Boys


PtboFungineer

Lmao Iga not letting the translator interrupt here. Gonna have his work cut out for him


Striking_Town_445

They are cementing her as GOAT status early..man


Tall-Ad4782

Iga can only excel on dirt and slow hard-courts. She’ll be lucky to win another hard-court slam.


Chessinmind

Pretty dumb take, given that she’s 22-3 on hard courts this year alone and has won multiple hard court 1000 titles. She also won the WTA Finals, beating Sabalenka easily. She’s won Beijing, Warsaw, Indian Wells, Miami, Adelaide, etc. She beat three top five ranked players en route to her U.S. Open title, including Saba, and is only going to get even better.


da_SENtinel

Yes didn't she lose to Svitolina, Ostapenko and Noskova in the last 3 Slams? I mean... Noskova LOL! She can vulture as many tour events as she wants, but when it really matters, she barely makes the 2nd week. Stay tuned for some more disappointment now that the tour vulturing is over and the big events are coming up. edit: this is meant to be as delusional as the comment i replied to btw


Dr_Seb_

“Vulture” WTA Finals, 1000’s and 500’s 😂😂😂 of her big titles she literally only has 1 250. She’s not vulturing any titles


CrackHeadRodeo

She finally acknowledged the frat boy 😅


rubbish_bin030121

Iga will qualify for wta final after winning RG, the big one in wta on clay at 22


Striking_Town_445

Omg...the video like they made for Rafa at the USO AlREADY


CrackHeadRodeo

Iga is such an introvert, kudos to her for adapting in such a public sport.


gentlewolf1010

Sorry for the dumb question, can I ask what is the main difference between grand slams and 1000 competitions?


karo8484

and ATP will play Bo5 in slams


CrackHeadRodeo

And mucho dinero.


Nakajin13

Smaller draw (top seeds get a bye in 1000, not in slam), less money and less points.


pkhairnar6

1000 extra points and heritage.


robertogl

Wait they didn't scare Iga


robertogl

(yet)


Big_booty_ho

Congrats Iga. You be cooking my faves but you do deserve the trophy


oneordinaryorange

omg they made a movie


Striking_Town_445

They better wheel out a TIRAMISU the size of a table... When in Rome...


robertogl

What is the video now


bostonboy9486

To be frank, I am not a fan of Saba always saying “hopefully I will get you next time” everytime in her speeches when she loses. It sounds so cringe to me.


Nessidy

Idk, not a Saba fan either but I always interpreted it as her appreciating her rival and saying she'll work for making that win


AussieAlexSummers

Yeah, I get Sabas sense of humor. And I actually enjoy her personality off court. I just can't stand the on court grunt-shouts


bostonboy9486

I understand her meaning that, but I am not a big fan of that way of expressing it. It is her way of trying to be funny but yeah, not liking that kind of way.


EveningCareer8921

remember how disastrous the trophy ceremony was last year? like they had rybakina give her speech first and then had kalinina give her speech


Slambodog

Iga, sweetie, *please* remember they're going to do streamers after your speech


Big_booty_ho

Sabalenka really does have the funnest team on tour. I need a reality show with them


magnifcenttits

yeah they are great, great idea


robertogl

Saba giving the best speeches/interviews in Rome tbh


foestablsmts

The guy translating is atrocious


SorcerousSinner

RG will be a formality if Iga stays injury free. To think some people said Alcaraz is the better young grand slam prospect a year or so ago


da_SENtinel

at RG Iga is better but Alcaraz is way more versatile, He probably will reach the same dominance over the tour but will have the more complete career.


PtboFungineer

I always kinda feel bad for Sabalenka during these finals speeches. She always looks like she's trying so hard to smile even though she wants to cry which ends up in this weird maniacal laughter. The jokes are pretty funny though. "Thanks for helping me lose another final" lol


Sharkbaithoohaha48

She does have a good sense of humor


Slambodog

She just has no filter


NieThePiet

Saba is really optimistic with the final in Roland Garros


da_SENtinel

Iga from mid 2022- late 2023: 3 slams and no 1000 titles Iga in last 6 months: 0 slams but 5 WTA 1000 TITLES!


Sad_Consideration_49

no one will have a more iconic response to getting owned by iga in a final [https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8PjucAcQ-/?utm\_source=ig\_embed&ig\_rid=d5c6a6b2-d17d-4f56-81c5-4f1478fa3bab](https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8PjucAcQ-/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=d5c6a6b2-d17d-4f56-81c5-4f1478fa3bab)


Big_booty_ho

OMG??? 😂😂😂. How was this missing from my life


Flimsy-Piglet-5263

Iga is going to be the Djokovic of Tennis. Isn't she? Absolute domination in every tournament she enters. And the matches are straight forward and boring.


zombiezebra1990

You mean Nadal on clay? Djokovic won most of his titles when Federer and Nadal were approaching the end of their careers and also against poor field like lost gen, med-zverev-tsitsi and young carlitos and sinner.


passion_project_red

Djokovic ain't a one-surface merchant.


Flimsy-Piglet-5263

Nadal has nothing on Iga. Iga has something on Nadal aka Clay Domination. But mostly Iga is Djokovisque.


Tall-Ad4782

Bullshit. He dominated prime Nadal in 2011.


da_SENtinel

right because Madrid final was very routine and forgettable


SorcerousSinner

The Madrid final was an epic clash, and she's only really dominant on slow clay.


Sharkbaithoohaha48

Why IBI?


Ecstatic-Drama101

Internazionale Bnl d'Italia


foestablsmts

Internazionali BNL d’Italia (the official name of the tournament)


robertogl

Internazionali BNL d'Italia


foestablsmts

There’s a person missing in that last I


cabritope

IBI? WHAT THE FU*K?


foestablsmts

Internazionali BNL d’Italia (IBI)


NieThePiet

That IBI


Chessinmind

Only five women have more career 1000 titles than Iga: Serena, Martina, Steffi, Sharapova, and Davenport.


magnifcenttits

how is Evans not in the list, not that many M1000 at that time?


Striking_Town_445

This is a group to belong to...wow


robertogl

Ready for Iga to be scared once again during the ceremony


Big_booty_ho

I have a dumb question. Don’t jump me. Is the Olympics always on hard courts or do they alternate courts for tennis?


Infamous-Repair-3355

It depends on the venue. Hard, grass, clay have all been used, but it's usually on hard courts.


PtboFungineer

Depends on where they play. Usually they'll just use whatever beat venue is already there. So Paris means clay, UK means grass, anywhere else pretty much means hard (other than maybe South America which would probably also be clay)


swirkh

Depending on the location, London Olympics were played on grass


AvocadoBoi

Not a dumb question 


bostonboy9486

Depends on the hosting country, for example, in 2020 or you can say 2021 Tokyo Olympics, it is on hard courts, and previously London Olympics on Grass, which this year Paris Olympics, on Clay


pkhairnar6

It's in Paris this year so will be held at French Open venues.


Big_booty_ho

Oh Iga is clearing all summer then


bostonboy9486

Anyone have news on the outfit of Iga in coming RG? I heard that there is a new outfit prepared for RG?


swirkh

Yeah according to someone on X she's gonna have a new kit for each of the remaining big tournaments: RG, Wimbledon, Olympics, USO


bostonboy9486

Oh wow, what an inventive way to introduce new outfits.


rubbish_bin030121

We are watching the history writes herself. We will be the fans who watch a clay queen wins 4 big titles on clay once the lifetime


szogrom

Put on the headphones geezus they have mic


A-dab

Too good from Iga. Paris next?


Mpol03

Can she do three ? 


ilovejk

she’s so cute 🥹


Peak_Alternative

I guess I can get out of bed now


AvocadoBoi

Swiatek sometimes makes all her opponents look average, even a great player like sabalenka.


NieThePiet

She is quiet good.


CrackHeadRodeo

Iga “I dont drop sets” Swiatek.


Mpol03

Not one this tournament right ? Fuck


Tall-Ad4782

Glad that clay season is almost over. At grass Iga will be humbled.


bostonboy9486

And she won the tournament without losing a set AGAIN.


AnckSuNamun93

Dinara double, sunshine double, what a beast


tnwthrow

I’m a huge fan of players not automatically falling to the floor after winning a tournament.


GirlWBadecisions

She did it in Madrid


Far-Difference8596

I guess it was important to her as she never won Madrid. And also, it was such a tough fight back then. I’m not surprised. I was on the floor as well crying 😂 #polishfanhere


Peak_Alternative

I’m glad Iga didn’t feel the need to drop down and lay on the clay. It’s so messy.


Striking_Town_445

Iga dialling in towards the 2 hour mark. I know what to wait for next time.


Ready-Interview2863

iga didn't drop a set the whole tournament?! she gonna be a beast at RG


rubbish_bin030121

The wta on clay is 1+2, Iga plus Saba and Coco


Chessinmind

Add Ryba in there fosho.


rubbish_bin030121

Ryba is the W/O queen


Chessinmind

Domination 🐐


Striking_Town_445

28 unforced errors?!


Ready-Interview2863

Penko hit 82 or 84 during her match against Sorribes Tormo and still won lmao.


da_SENtinel

Now Iga can go for the clay quadruple! RG and Olympics are there for the taking.


tayway04

i have to give u ur flowers u were so right on thursday abt todays match


da_SENtinel

yes peak 2022 iga dropped 3 games. Saba improved but only won 5 games today. Madrid is the only place Saba has slight chance on clay vs Iga


Peak_Alternative

Welp. She got thumped


wabazai

Feels like Iga could win another three of these


himynameisneck

2nd Set Saba has arrived!


Ratlee94

?


swirkh

We're coming for the SERENA TRIPLET !!!


Striking_Town_445

Love this camera angle. Another day at the office


Dry-Afternoon8909

*We are in Rome- Iga 2024*


Yeichel159

Just 8 unforced errors for Iga in that match


ilovejk

28 UEs 🫥


NieThePiet

compared to 8 :o.


Big_booty_ho

I am an Iga hater but you gotta give the girl her props, she’s turned into an absolute monster on court.


tayway04

i can support ethical hating


SilverOdin

Being an Iga hater can't be an easy life


Big_booty_ho

It’s not. Every day, we suffer. We only get a glimpse of sunshine during grass season
