Episode Notes
Mirra Andreeva caps off an amazing clay season with the biggest clay title possible at Roland Garros. At only 19 years old!
If the season before clay wasn't filled with her best moments, Andreeva came back with fire for the clay, winning 22 of 25 matches, and lifting her first major title. While she was pretty much expected to achieve all there is to achieve in tennis, maybe this title at Grand Slam level might have surprised even the best analysts. I personally think this came way sooner than I thought it would, even though I did pick her to win the tournament during our Draw Previews episode.
Now, at No.1 in the Race, she has a tangible chance at getting to the top of the rankings, becoming World No.1 for real. But the road ahead won't be easy.
The WTA Core Four:
Swiatek's episode: https://shows.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels/episodes/iga-swiatek-lost-at-roland-garros-there-are-positives
I have opinions on the performances of the WTA Core Four, meaning Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff. It ranges from "it's fine, it happens," to "this could trigger the end of her peak."
In particular, Sabalenka had possibly the worst result, even if she's gotten the furthest in the tournament. Losing 10 games in a row when you're serving for the match is an epic meltdown. It's the kind of historic achievement you just don't want in your resume, especially as World No.1 when all your biggest rivals are already out of the tournament.
