I edited out the freaks but was thinking mainly of all the tall east europeans playing boring tennis.

Those Eastern Europeans had all the personality schooled out of them. They played tennis exactly how they were instructed and it got some of them to the top. It's telling how many of them couldn't sustain it though. How many of them made number one and couldn't win a slam?

All the best athletes, their game is an extension of their personality. That's what we're seeing tonight.

Another ridiculous thing - Raducanu didn't play a match between February 2020 and June this year because of Covid. Obviously most players were in the same boat, but that's a huge part of the time she ought to have been developing. She's 18, but with the level of experience you'd normally see in a 16 year old player.

She didn’t play a ranked tennis match but she played in all the Battle of the Britain matches, the British pro league etc which is shown on the Tennis Channel.  
 

How often do we see players missing break points only to lose serve in the next match?  Must be in the coaching manual first page.  Really push harder in the next game.  Fascinating tennis match and the quality has been almost as good as last years final.
