had a feeling sabalenka could choke this away

6:2 first and should have broken to start the second. Proves my theory these weak-minded, euro-trash under 30 types cannot deal with the psychic pressure of an entire stadium clamoring against them. Sad state of tennis is Gauff is nothing more than a pusher and glorified track star playing way over her head. Sabalenka has no business as #1 but there's really not much else on a tour which is woefully inconsistent and prone to choke at the first signs of adversity. 

 Aryna is a beast. Bad spot 

Yeah sure bad spot...she's been choking hard since she won Aussie Open...an absolute headcase and this was worse than the Muchova choke at the FO

Coco is playing the best tennis of her career under Gilbert. She’s is different player now any playing in Arthur Ashe? Bad spot 

@ThirdEye4747

 That's not hard to do considering she was a harmless pusher before he arrived...now shes a confident pusher who is benefiting from an ungoldly amount of chokes (with packed houses unnerving her weak-minded opponents). One or two shellackings and she's back to where she was pre Gilbert. No doubt in my mind. 

Sure. She’s only 19 years old. Watch when she actually develops a serve and forehand 

the difference is coco's forehand has improved and mental has gotten better also. she'll still get choky at times but she recovers quicker than she used to.
