I think the clay is always going to help her forehand. she has more time to set and swing at the ball on clay, so the technical inefficiencies in her swing don't matter as much. I'll be interested to see how her forehand holds up when we switch to grass, but I think that this is how her forehand has always looked on clay.

bish what

She did not show humility in pointing to her head to show she is smarter than Coco. It only made her defeat even more humiliating.

@@rys3486 Maybe she was pointing to her head because she wasn't thinking through the match.

@@rys3486 are you being serious? Is this what you think she meant? A lot of players do it, men and women. It was a gesture, probably to her team, that meant that if she puts her mind to the game she can get the win. Get real.

​@@geogianno7744l agree. She was just trying to motivate herself somewhat. I don't think it was against Coco. Badosa is a classy Lady.

​@@rys3486HATER HATER

Love this comment

Gauff Will BEAT iga in the semis?

But if it lands short then it gets attacked by players like Aryna, iga and Elena etc.

Me too

100%

I mean some of her matches are ugly tho. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. Whether she plays great or “ugly”, she still consistently wins and thats all that matters

I agree. It's annoying because it's like, she won. She's been winning. She's world #3. She's obviously doing SOMETHING right! Go Coco!

I feel like this gets said about Coco's matches the most of any woman on the tour and maybe even any tennis player, despite the fact that she's WINNING. So, that's why I'm fed up too lol 😑. Nobody wanna see a young, black woman dominate the game. Calling these wins "ugly" perpetuates a negative narrative and casts a shadow over her matches to make it seem like she's barely scrapping by. She's world #3!!!!

She had 11 double faults and only made 37% of her first serves. But a win is still a win.

And this after playing Osaka who is coached by Zheng's former coach.

Wrong, the odds were Gauff, get a clue

The prediction said gauff would win..

The prediction said gauff would win..

Instead of Badossa? Gauff won the 3rd round 6-1 and Badossa aint an average playa!

@@afrofeast Gauff hit 11 double faults...

@@afrofeastgauff is no.3

@@Abdoukarimm exactly

You need to sock it

I was sad Pera left but I can understand why he would want to leave. Gilbert was a celebrity and kept getting praises for Coco's wins while I felt Pera might have been putting in the work. it will be interesting seeing his former and present clash for the first time

@@chinyere6412 You got it right 100%. ESPN, Tennis Channel, BBC tennis commentator... then you have Riba, a great coach who's records speak for itself. Look at what he has accomplished with Zheng. She made to AO final this year, took her to Top 10 and winning Matches. I truly felt the wrong coach left. To be honest, I wish Coco will revamp her team. A coach makes a difference, look at Sakkari? Amazing transformation. Raducanu made the mistake of splitting with her coach after US open win and it cost her.

Italians are pretty racist I've been there and experienced it they don't even hide it

Come on. It's not racism. They are in Europe and Badosa just has more support in some of the countries there. Coco gets more support in canada and the US.

@@elokao8070 Biased not racist. Preference to support someone against someone.

Point at yours. if you have any...lol

@@thomasa62 I just did. Do you love as much as Paula, now?

It happens alot in her marches, they tend to go 3 sets, maybe lack of fitness?

@@CA_I Badosa spent almost twice as much as coco on court this tournamnet - but true i noticed even at her peak Paula's stamina was questionable, nowhere near Svitolina

Nightmare and terrible. WOW!

Paula has a bad back and longer the match goes on the back starts to effect her serve and movement.

hahahahaha I saw that! so funny

Conditioning. She can't handle long matches. She's only back on the tour a couple months after injuries.

I genuinely would like to know why you seem so bothered by her pointing at her brain. Even if she did not win the match, she clearly felt that she kept it together mentally to take the first set. Why does that offend you?

Well that's not right, she got to a rg final a few years ago and spent alot of time playing on European red clay in years past. It probably helps her game a bit as it covers up the dodgy forehand.

LOL at comparing some random match from 6 years ago with this match.

@@potzysk2 ABBAsolutely, they've both aged 6 years, but it is the 16yr old schoolgirl who has a slam whilst the older Badosaa is still 'dreaming'. Form is 'temporary', CLASS is 'permanent' !!

@@potzysk2 SMH, it's not about comparing some random match from 6yrs ago with this match !! It's about comparing 2 individual players, the much experienced WTA 3 Gauff needing 3 sets to beat Paola, whilst an inexperienced 16yr old schoolgirl (RADDERS) needed only 2 sets !!

hahah.....i think its pretty silly that they even do that.

I like her but it's annoying to me when she does that. Like if she was Djoker with 24 GS or something.

ngl i love that celebration especially when djoko does it

She will get there but in the mean time I think her other attributes have been good enough to win her a grand slam which are her beast of a mind and the most amazing back hand and fitness. Sometimes you can’t have it all. Luckily she’s only 20 years old. She’s also a great tactician for her age.All in all she’s on the right track because girls in her age group are nowhere near nor have won as much as Coco has.

@@carolinegardner8214 rewind time when she won the grand slam and even some time ago her serve was not as much of an issue as it is right now which is weird. She was definitely and still does now again have big troubles and caught up in coaching issues it looks like, it looks like she will come through it as results are showing but they can deceiving as her performances have been messy

She did amazing! ❤

@@tunjit5762 stop simping

@@tunjit5762 you are beta simp

You said it, its womens Tennis. Men and Women are different.. physically, emotionally and otherwise. WTA will never be ATP. I enjoy the inconsistent and unpredictability of the WTA, mixing it up. I am beginning to enjoy the mix up I am seeing now on the men's side.

You probably don't watch many wta matches. You clearly don't know what you're talking about

I suggest that every WTA match has a win.

First of all, she just didn't barely win the 2023 U.S. Open, she swept the floor with Sabalenka. Sabalenka was so upset she was hitting her racket and yelling. She also won two more championships in 2023.

On points she’s no 3 and is reigning US open champion. Semi final in Australia, 1/4 final Stuttgart 4th round Madrid and won Auckland. The results are improving every year so will the points. The no 4 has pulled,out of 2 1000 tournaments so far. She just doesn’t have the points Coco whose points are adding up to maintain the ranking comfortably. I hope that explains it the WTA is a point system you can’t just catapult yourself to a ranking you haven’t earned no matter how much your fans think you deserve it. It doesn’t work like that I’m afraid. Let’s stop the debates and work with the numbers.

Ranking is based on total results over the past 52 weeks. If you got to the Finals of every tournament but never won a title, you would probably be ranked #2 in the world. Maybe even #1. That's just how it works.

@@wandaclark2649 actually that is very valid, aside from Iga players in top 5 by winning about 3 titles the whole season. Sablenka, Rybakina both stopped winning after clay last year yet still number 1 or 2.

@@potzysk2 Thank you.

No, you're the one that is sloppy! I guess you're playing professional tennis too. You're just a hater.

When you can play in front of thousands of people and be #3 in the world then you could talk.

You are definitely mentally ill, because I have seen you ask this same silly question about various women on at least 100 videos.

Not sure what you mean by no neck but she won the match, that's the end of the story.

No neck? She has a very defined neck. It's people like you who are probably not physically appealing themselves that will mock someone else.

Stop being hateful!

Let’s see a picture of you I didn’t think so stay in the base and take your meds. Jealous much
