Disappointing from Teichmann, she got bagel'd in the first set. I thought she would do good
things this year but it hasnt started that way.
What did you expect was gonna happen in this match? Muchova is one of the girls in best form on the whole tour and I wouldn't be surprised to see her go far in Miami. I will probably bet on her all the way. Did not expect 6:0 in first set but I did expect a clean 2:0 win and covering of 4.5 handicap. Since it is easy to talk after the match I'll add the proof as well
like yourself, didnt expect such a poor result from her, only winning 2 games, very poor.
I would also not be surprised if Alcaraz becomes the player who is going to blast through Djokovic's number 1 weeks record. Djokovic was 24 years old when he first became number 1. I know that is still a very long way to go and yes, it will be a lot about his health as well. But the way he competes and also the rest of the competition seems to be inferior.
Different times - when Đoković started you had titans such as Federer and Nadal in their prime, players like Murray in the mix as well.
Top 10 were del Potro and Wawrinka, players that could beat you any day of the week.
Currently when I look at the top 10, other than Alcaraz there isn't a player who I can see constantly challenging for titles.
That's actually what I meant to say. Now only looking at the time Alcaraz seems to have left to also collect some easy number 1 weeks, it probably comes down to his health only. Unless there is another rising star on the horizon that we can't see yet. His level is insane at the age of 19 and even though when Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Zverev etc. are all great players, they are not his level.
I agree, Alcaraz seems to have all the tools at his disposal to be No.1 for a long time,
the only caveat is staying injury free.
and ATM based on his performance at Indian Wells there is nobody at his level currently.
I definitely think Medvedev is better than the result in that final portrays.
