Pretty much ideal stooge for nadal. Tried right to the end, was never at the races, looked like a bad guy, moaned like a bad guy
Raducanuās getting blown away here
this Noskova kid looks excellent
another one off the Czech WTA pipeline
Raducanu down a set to a 17 year old
A seventeen year old whoās the reigning junior champion here and has a howitzer for a backhand
Sheās definitely not a total random but just looking at ATP rankings this really shouldnāt be that close. Thereās very few people Noskova has played whoād be at a similar level to Raducanu now.
Are you watching the match?
Donāt mean that in a sarcastic way. Itās just itās really clear sheās being outplayed at the moment. Is not a case of her being particularly below par
Sheās serving a bit shite mind
No thatās fair enough she does look good I would say that I think Raducanu is underperfoming though.
Yeah wouldnāt disagree. But you could make the case that sheās the clay novice on this court frankly
This commentator is crap. Itās fairly common to move forward if your opponent plays a drop shot!
Really compelling match, this
Hope we get a 3rd set
Wonder how the grass season is going to go for em. For my mind it could be really good for her or really bad and not very likely to be anything in between
Given the lack of points at W, it doesnāt matter too much. Donāt think she has any points to defend at other grass tournaments.
I donāt mean in terms of points. I mean in terms of building her game and her confidence.
She isnāt the twelfth best player in the world and wasnāt even when she won the us open. Not yet anyway.
Basically sheās going to get a lot of attention, and that can either be very good for her or very bad for her.
Oh is getting good now
Good stuff
The court theyāre playing on is great looking too. Nice steep stands
Moutet is just the sort of annoying player that mixes things up and uses the whole court and stamina, very difficult to get by if youāre rusty.
A bit like a male Putintseva - his match against Nadal should be fun but wouldnāt imagine a big problem for Rafa.
