Wimbledon: Ostenpenko is the real deal

Should Venus get pass Konjuh today, this young lady is the one who can definitely block her way to another Slam.

But first things first, Venus has to take care of business today. Every following match will be increasingly harder for the former Queen of Wimbledon.

De one everybody overlooking is Venus

This year gives one a real idea of the parity that exists and has existed in the womens game for years

There's Serena

DAYLIGHT

and then the rest.

Any of these ladies in the quarters....except Rybarikova....can win this tournament.


And this is not a diss against the womens game. They're all tremendous athletes and very skilled. It just shows how GREAT Serena is.

My pick is Halep. She well determined.

Allyuh know I love me Ostapenko's game....but she so erratic...it bound to catch up with her at some point.

And I never underestimate Venus....can't see her winning it all tho

Ostapenko second serve is weak. A good returner like Venus williams will crush that weakness.

A lot of you guys aren't alone - Martina Navratilova is very high on Ostapenko.

Chrissy pointed out on a thread that's now archived that the weak serves of the two French Open finalists would be slaughtered by Williams, and she was pounced upon by the Indian brigade.
cool
On that thread I highlighted the weaknesses in the second serve of both Ostapenko and Halep.
