Grand Slam - Day 9 - Australian Open

Day 8 and I am so happy that Kostyuk is now in the top 30. And she finally won a match under 3 sets. Coco looks very strong and it is shaping up to be a Coco v Sabe semi-final (which in all reality, is the actual final). Mens wise, the Greek God stopped, Mannerio went to the bakery and we are...

If DeMinaur can achieve a consistent top 10 ten ranking in the next few years, then he is an outside chance to win a GS, because not all GS' go to script - I have to laugh when people claim Hewitt had no weapons - He had just about the best return of serve when he was in his pomp - The only player who had a better return of serve was Agassi.

All the players in the top 4 have elite returns of serve these days. What separates them are weapons and going for lines. You just are not realistically challenging these days without a genuine weapon ideally both wings.

HAHAHA a return of serve is not a weapon, hewitt had nothing in his game. Thats why as soon as the new era started where you had to have weapons he crashed and burned and never got back to top of the game

A high quality return of service is a weapon in any era of tennis.

hard disagree, a return of service does nothing to win you points at crucial times in a match
