I agree BobbyMorri although I don't rate the hype machine Coco that much at this stage.
US press and the tennis media in general wants us to believe she will be a top player.
And she will be.

That was her 2019 season as a 15 year old. That's phenominal as she's performed not just in scrub junior tournaments but 3R US and R16 Wimbledon is amazing for her age. Plenty of other deep runs against decent opposition including the R16 at the AO this year, still as a 15 year old. Her winning career record so far is really good when you look at the opposition.

We will see. Plenty of 15-16 year olds come and go. It’s more rare they actually go on with it. Not saying she won’t but the hype is OTT
 
Like the top half of the draw here (rd 3 match ups):
[1] Djokovic vs. [28] Struff
[20] Carreño vs. Berankis
[12] Shapovalov vs. [19] Fritz
[26] Krajinovic vs. [7] Goffin

[4] Tsitsipas vs. [27] Coric
Kukushkin vs. Thompson
Norrie vs. Davidovich Fokina
[5] Zverev vs. [32] Mannarino

Thompson with his best chance at reaching a grand slam 4th round here. Hoping for a Tsitsipas vs Thiem final and would love to see either of them win a slam.

The way Tsisipas played today he'll be lucky to beat coric
 
Garcia vs. [28] Brady
[17] Kerber vs. Li
Sasnovich vs. [23] Putintseva
[8] Martic vs. Gracheva

[4] Osaka vs. Kostyuk
[24] Linette vs. [14] Kontaveit
Rogers vs. Brengle
[6] Kvitova vs. Pegula

Top half has been decimated. My pick is Brady. Powerful game.

Osaka has had a tough tough draw. If she beats Kostyuk, she might get Kontaveit and then Kvitova.
 
So either way I want to poke my eyes out?

Worst thing is I bet on Yastremska to win the thing

Who do you like in the Azarenka match next round against Sabalenka? That will be an absolute cracker!
havent got a clue. Read the WTA article and they played last year and Sab won in 3. Azarenka is playing a lot better now so you go for her here just for that.

Yep it's the one 3rd round match I haven't got a clue on. Purely on experience Azarenka but it wouldn't shock me either way. This is going to sound like a cop out but whoever serves better (first serve). Both players have second serves that say 'smash me" and both return outstanding. I'll go Azarenka in 3.

Kvitova for me, out of that half she's easily playing the best tennis. Osaka I hope gets through as knowing Petra she'll gift Serena 1000 UE's to lose when they play

yeah. A top top top player. A replacement for Serena top. talking about multiple winning grand slams and even now.

Coco should be great. Winning a WTA title(or a final, I can't remember) at her age is amazing and has great results in the slams. But so did that 16-year-old Czech player Nicole Vaidišová(yep, had to search that one).

I am also biased as all hell. :p

I still get sad over what happened to Nicole. Her off field things prevented her winning multiple Slams. Think she tried to come back last year but has already pulled the pin. A wasted talent.

Brady is a good pick out of that top bit. She's playing well. But I still have to favour Osaka given how she's been playing, I take her first round as an exception given her results last week too

Just lost heart. crazy what she did at her age. A semi final as a 17-year-old.

Remarried Stepanek and now has a kid. still only 31.

Could have been absolutely anything. She was so much better than Pliskova as a player, her game was very good. She had an interview for ESPN and she's very happy and I guess now that's the most important thing.

Wasn't she thinking about a comeback pre-covid?
