I'm an absolute sucker for a first-time Slam winner. On the women's side, I would LOVE to see a likeable veteran player like Jabeur or Svitolina grab the title. Muchova is also high on my fantasy wish list - I love the "Czech-with-the-glass-body wins Wimbledon" theme - but with her latest wrist issues, I'm not sure how realistic that is.
Interesting interview with Dr. Guillard - I really hope great minds can eventually come up with a solution to help prevent some of these awful wrist injuries on the tours.
First-slam winner is such a different vibe! Especially, I feel, if it happens later in a career. It'd be incredible for Ons or Elina... Muchova is so good, but her body is refusing to align too often, really. Such a pity. Also, because she's such a fun personality, too. I think the material right now is playing a big part in these injuries + the fact that too many players are back with an extreme grip on the forehand. It's a perfect storm...
Mboko winning would just be amazing. (Wearing the red Spence shorts as I type this. They were my Mother’s Day gift and are in heavy rotation on and off the tennis court).
Oh, then treat yourself to another pair ah ah ;) Mboko winning would be a Sharapova 2004 kind of insane. The family story is so good, too. And the game is fire. One can dream! :)

LOVE THIS, thank you!

Pleasure!

Tough loss for Mboko today! Hon put up a great fight though. Her comeback was inspiring.
Yeah rough one for Vicky... 5 MPs in that second set, that hurts. Let's see if she can get a LL spot...
