always known as the cleanest ball striker. The only time I've heard something similar was Kvitova vs Sharapova Wimbledon 2011

The Wimbledon final vs. Venus was phenomenal. One of the best women's finals I've ever seen.

I completely agree….

Gauff already knows how to SERVE.

Yeah, because Pliskova is? Oh, wait much younger Pliskova is not in top-10, she's №23 now. The point here is that it's extremely hard to imagine either of these ladies with the footwork they've had during their respective careers to succeed in current WTA tour on current higher bouncing surfaces. You have to be able to move. That's the rule, at least for now. As much as we all love Lindsey as a player AND as a person, she and the likes of her will be unlikely to be seen in the top-10, at least until the era of immovable champions comes back.

​@@freshname Lindsay has a very economical way of playing in that she doesn't really need explosive movement. She just needs 1 or 2 balls to do enough damage to be on the offensive. Not unlike Ostapenko currently, who is winning tournaments.

​@@EW-vz3ijShe made a comeback at the age of 32 and failed miserably, what makes u think at the age of 47 she can be in the top 10? Even Venus these days are horrible and she's only 43 and Venus at the age of 43 can move way better than Davenport in her 20s. Davenport was great for her time because the women at the time weren't used to power shots and the women weren't nearly as athletic as it is today. So even though she was one of the slowest top players to ever exist, it doesn't matter because her power can intimidate everybody and her power can outrun everybody. I highly doubt her power can do the same damage in the 2010s. You need to back it up with a great defensive game as well. Just look at the difference between Venus & Serena in the 2010s. Venus strategy was always to hit the ball flat and finish the point ASAP, because she knew she couldn't outrun the other girls in the 2010s. Since she hit most balls flat and many of these girls are used to hit powerful shots, they have no problem handling her shots & Venus hit a lot of errors with few winners. Serena's strategy was to hit hard with more spin because her speed can match the other girls even at that age. If Davenport comes back now she will move even worse than before, she will be super slow. She will be like Venus, hitting the ball flat and lots of errors. Chances of success for her are close to none.

@@EW-vz3ij If you've seen both Ostapenko and Davenport play, you know that Ostapenko's movement is exceedingly better. She's much shorter, much smaller framed athlete. For her it's much easier to stop herself, recover from the shot and change direction. She's not even like Sabalenka or Rybakina big. I'm not mentioning Lindsey. If your serve and strokes are even as huge as Pliskova or Davenport have had, you still have to move yourself around the cort. There's no way you can afford loosing precious time just trying to stop your big body mass inertia and then throw yourself in different direction. Giving out free time left and right is not an option anymore.

@@secrets.295 that's a very good point, which I completely agree with and hope more people would be able to see that. Also it's worth noticing how much Serena's game changed between early-mid 2000s and 2010. The amount of spin she stared to add to her strokes from 2012 was shocking to me. None of us had seen her spin so much. And tha turned out to be extremely effective. Her shots were still quite heavy and hard too deal with, but she bought herself more time to recover her court position after shots and she drastically reduced her error count. And YES Venus Williams, not being a queen of footwork herself, was a much better mover that always lovely Lindsey used to be.

But they love Ons, which i dont undestand bcz she is so average.

Its bcz she is a muslim and preaches abt kindness. They insult Iga and Rybakina and call them boring... Just unbelievable.

And it's great to see Lindsay Davenport, she is in my top 3 tennis player.

Pegula had a pretty rough draw at the French Open

@AlexJaneson Assuming that that's what happened, then, absolutely it makes sense that the draw is rigged in her favor (Wimbledon) Of course, there will be a few eyes skimming through the vast tennis social media (including this very thread). Should those eyes (people who have affiliation to the entity that Riggs) reach a strong consensus within public sentiment (i.e. "Pegula super hard RG, we suspicious! WTA hates Pegula! Wimby prolly want Pegula lose also! Racist! We ppl are not stupid) ......THEN we can then expect the opposite situation for USO--JPeg will have an easy draw. Manipulation is a long process. Can't let the general population catch on too quick. So, yeah, better make her draw easy this time. But we all caught up. @Cola7UPS823 Awesome and insightful take. 👍

Not true, she won 3 Grand Slams by out-hitting opponents and being more consistent than them. Her technique and timing were amazing. She overpowered Venus at the 1998 US Open and moved well enough to beat her and Hingis. She also beat Venus in other slam matches over the next 5-6 years. Venus beat her in the finals.

also she needs to stop the unecessary "doing for africa and arab women". Its unecessary

@@lizzy341 very unnecessary and distracting
