I fear the ocean out of respect.
well, the 2025 WTA season has come to an end so I am putting out my main wants for 2026 (in no particular order of importance):
-Rybakina vs Gauff
-Mboko vs Andreeva
-return of Iga’s 🧱 aura
-my western grip sisters to get a handle on their serves & forehands, so they can have a full A game season

(but I’m not surprised, she’s liked some Candice Owens transphobic shit on IG in the past). anyway. stay mad.

✅the witchcraftery of Siegemund needs to be studied
✅Muchova/Kotsyuk looked like they were about ready to die at any time
✅the entrance to the main court is cool af👍🏻

🗽1) in spite of the vulture children who thought she’d lose set 2, Barbora Krejcikova saved 8 (!!!!!!!!) match points vs Taylor Townsend in what was (for me) the match of the tournament.

🍎2) Marketa Vondrousova closing out her match vs Elena Rybakina in a clutch manner.
the way she dismantled Elena’s game (& Paolini’s the match before) was a joy to watch. I’m sorry she got hurt & couldn’t play her QF match vs Aryna, it would have been fun. hopefully she’s back to full health soon.

🗽3) Karolina Muchova’s entertaining run, which included 4 gruelling 3 set matches and numerous incredible shots like the one below.
*again, North American swing Muchova is the best Muchova and if you don’t like watching her, that is *red flag* behaviour in my book 🚩

🍎4) *everything* about Taylor Townsend’s USO journey, especially her win vs Mirra Andreeva.
she stands out as one of the best stories of the tournament and she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves.
