She's very slowly playing her way into this. I'm not sure she'll have long enough to even come close to pulling it back, but she's hugely improved since the start.

Didn't Novak break down into tears in the 2021 US Open final? It happens to the best of both genders. It's a really high pressure, individual sport.

Had nothing to do with pressure, he was crying as it was the first time in a GS final the crowd were all cheering and supporting him when losing.

Not suprising after years of the crowd cheering for Fed / Nadal every time they played in a GS final.

Pretty sure it was the pressure of going for the calendar grand slam as well.

To be clear, that's not a criticism of him, it's just an example of the pressure tennis puts even the best players under

If women played 5 sets she could have turned this around.

What match are you watching?

This is ridiculous

Absolutely no chance, Iga is playing a perfect game and the occasion has understandably got the better of Anisomova

Pressure is applied to many other sports

Ah yes, Novak very well known for crying under pressure.

Yeah, Iga has dropped up and she's picked it up slightly. Realistically if it was 5 I still think she'd lose 3-1, but it would be closer. This could be a double bagel still

I'm not kidding. My bbq ribs ain't finished cooking yet...

 

[Converge]

This is ridiculous

Got to feel for her, but my word.

 

[Merlin5]

Grow up.

Don't be so rude.

 

[el_dazza]

6-0 incoming..

 

[Alice In Wonderland]

Grow up.

I have best friends who would find that equally inappropriately funny.

Be a boring place to live if we were all the same.

We've seen many men's 5 setters turn around from 2 sets down so its not impossible, they don't even get a chance.

When's the last time a woman final match was won 6:0 6:0?

dropped up? Stick to football perhaps?
