@@davd1986 If it was, (and she's still very young) it's quite a fluke - from Qualifiers to Winning without dropping a set! I wouldn't mind something like that at least once in my life either! Whatever the circumstances - I wish her good health and all the very best, of course.
@@ddjr6673 It wasn't really a fluke. She had a lot of what makes a great tennis player but her character showed after the win and she turned into an impossible to work with diva .She was a high level raw talent. Raducanu is all about the wrong mindset while Bianca sadly is all about injuries.
@@listrahtes Oh I don't think it was a fluke at all - but I am not sure about "diva"? Where's the evidence (not saying there isn't unless multiple coaching changes is evidence?) Curious.
@@ddjr6673 She has fired more coaches than anyone else by far with ridiculous reasoning. She even had Tursunev ( he never does that ) talk about clear red flags why he stopped coaching her and you have interviews with her we're she states that she mostly knows better than the coach. She is an extremely sheltered narcicist impossible for critical reflection that is more certain than with any other player. In the ATP I d say it's Rune but he is much less a problem than Raducanu. You could see it with her instantly after the US open win. It was all modelling gigs and her behavior changed instantly.
Those injuries I think affected her confidence. She went from being feared to the one that looks to have fear. I remember when 127th ranked Viktória Hrunčáková who was nowhere near Bianca's level completely outplayed and spanked Bianca with ease in a tournament Bianca should've dominanted everyone that stepped on that court. When you lose confidence like that anyone can beat you.
Bibi still has an amazing game but I believe her problems started when she took 15 months off because of Covid and then rushed to return to the game and kept getting injured. She didn’t take things slow and ease back into the tour but 2025 she will come back stronger than ever
i feel like this happens all the time in women's tennis. someone out of nowhere wins a major, they get hailed as the next serena and the future, then they vanish.
It wasn't out od nowhere, she won IW and Toronto that year and defeated top 10 players many times, she is not a flaw like Emma, her level was really high
Something I always recommend people to take a look are the ELO rankings for tennis, ELO is the way chess players are ranked and shows a much better picture of the level of players. Peak Andreescu(2019) has the 6th highest ELO of active players, below Venus(2002), Azarenka(2013), Swiatek, Zvonareva and Kvitova. This gives a good picture of how good a player was at the peak. Raducanu is ranked 36
Getting to the top was just very hard on her body. I'm sure playing through pain was part of that as she's the gung ho type of player. Her body needs time to heal! I hope she takes the proper time off as she's still young enough to miss a couple of years and come back stronger. I've always enjoyed watching her play tennis!
She lost her forehand totally and her serve mostly. That's what's happened since 2019. She therefore went from a potential number one player to a top 50-100 player in her level. I'm not sure why. I tend to think she has lost some physical strength somewhere along the lines.
she just does NOT move well enough. It's not that she's not athletic but if you watch her matches now once she falls behind in a rally and virtually never is able to get back into it. So it's putting too much pressure on her first strike game, which is good but not spectacular. Her 2019 year was absolutely insane though. I still think she will have a good career and certainly has the talent to win another major (as does most of the top 30). With the WTA you never know - if Vondrouseva can win a major Andreescu certainly can again.
@@Dafalex22I’m surprised to read the reply by you about Emma and Bianca . Anyway, Bianca plays somebody tomorrow ranked as low as she is. Maybe she has a chance.
It's hard to reach the top in any sport and it is even harder to stay there. Not only does the work ethic need to be sustained but the hunger as well. The rewards that come from winning a U.S. Open often have an adverse effect on both. Nothing wrong with her talent but talent alone doesn't cut it. Fact is there are a lot more Grand Slam winners like Andreescu than there are like Serena Williams.
That is of course true, but I think injuries are 100% to blame for Bianca's decline, and all the work ethic and hunger in the world won't change that. I've never doubted that she possess those two qualities in abundance.
In Andreescu's case, Injuries have played a part but many players have won a slam just once and then faded away WITHOUT injuries being the cause. Lots of money has a way of taking the edge off. @@freakytea2815
A lot has happened with Bianca recently. Looked to be in the best condition she has ever been but disappeared with another injury. A mystery. Is skipping New Zealand and Australia. Is booked for a meet in Mexico in late February. I think we should know this year if Bianca will ever be able to be competitive again or if she will be leaving tennis. I’m pulling for Bianca. I have to. She is my favourite athlete to watch in any sport. All I can say is C’mon Bianca!
However frequent the injuries, the fact that she’s only 23 means that anyone who is going to write her off risks looking an idiot. At that age she’s far better equipped to heal from them than if she was 30. Having had them more frequently does not necessarily mean she has a brittle body which will continue to be injury prone and can just be a case of unlucky timing. Looked at another way, it could even be better to get those injuries earlier when she’s able to heal better and faster. The break to deal with her mental health was exactly the right thing to do and it shows a lot of maturity even to take such a decision. Emma Raducanu may have done herself a huge favour if she had done the same, or similar, in early-mid 2022 when the initial excitement around her started to turn sour. Perhaps her own physical injuries forcing her to take a long break from the game can be a blessing in disguise, giving her the time to mentally reset and return with a renewed drive and hardened against the more negative aspects of fame and success? As sporting redemption stories go, a Raducanu vs. Andreescu GS final at sometime in the coming years would be a pretty good one! Now, this is just a hunch, but, I get the feeling that women like these two who have struggled mentally and have cycled through a number of coaches should try hiring females coaches. I don’t necessarily think it’s the answer for everyone, but I suspect that there could be something in their ability to connect with or trust their coaches. This doesn’t have to be the male coaches fault, it’s simply the case that some people just get on better with women, while others do with men, and where that’s the case, they may feel more comfortable discussing the mental/personal issues that they face. And it’s not as though their aren’t a lot of former champions who, in the past few years have found themselves… un-busy. And the marketing does itself! Imagine a grand slam final between Bianca and Emma but with a renewed rivalry between, say, Coach Clijsters and Coach Barty… Coach Kerber vs Coach Bartoli, Radwanska vs Li, or the dream match up: Williams vs Williams - The Coaching Years!
Such inane, hypothetical verbosity......verbal DIARRHEA!! She's "yesterday's news"!! You don't think the likes of Mirra Andreeva would slice'n'dice her!! Too many young guns waiting in the wings!! The two players of which you speak are both graduates of the school....."ONE & DONE"!! 🖤♠
Bianca is Canadian born in Mississauga. I agree the fame got to her head and press really critical and fans. The injuries stop and starting hurt her. She won big titles and US Open. Unfortunately the injuries got to her. Sadly she chokes a bit too much. Losing happens to all players but the way Bianca is losing is disappointing. The Dutch coach messed up her serve.
I really appreciate her for the game she played and wish for her future. But as a viewer, i can tell the issue in her game. Missing Ace, not able to use blank space, body weight, over acting and few more. After winning first set, her attention goes out from the game and that is the main reason for the loss every tournament in first round.
Bibi needs to sort out her physicality. She looks to be carrying a little more weight compared to other players, and I wonder if a drop in weight, and a change in diet (see Novak for example), would give her more speed AND more energy on court. Add to that, the process of dropping weight might also make her physically stronger if the right strength and conditioning was used. I dont think she needs anything technically, or tactically. She has those. But her body HAS let her down, and you have to begin asking why has it let her down, and what can be done to give it an extra few percentage points of efficiency.
Women’s tennis in the last few years to a decade seems filled with one hit wonders. Tennis players who hit a hot streak, win a major then drop off. They can’t sustain their form and perform consistently afterwards. Sloan Stephens, Andreescu, Mugurutha, Sofia Kenin, Ostapenko, Wozniaki. On the men’s side: obvious cases are Del Potro and Thiem. But it just seems to plague women’s tennis more of late.
It's become a pattern with these young girls who win a Slam pretty much out of nowhere and then descend into crises for a while. Andreescu, Kenin, Ostapenko, Raducanu. I think it's because tennis has become a world sport with intense media coverage, fans being a nuisance with social media and online betting, and the women's game becoming a lot more competitive. It has always been a challenge for young girls basically to grow up in the public eye, but is exacerbated by the things mentioned.
Just a minor critique of your video: your audio sounds like you're speaking into a professional mic, but when it cuts to you talking, it looks like you're lip-dubbing because there's no obvious mic (I do see the small mic on your shirt) and it seems mistimed, maybe because the audio is off, but it just honestly looks creepy. Honestly not much reason to cut to you talking either, especially when you don't start off the video talking into camera, it caught me off-guard when it cut to you partway through. So if it were me I'd start off talking into camera and introducing the video, then adding the other footage.
I was never a fan of Andrescu. She is a great talent no doubt. But the hype around her during her 2019 peak season kinda put me off. I understand WTA is in desperate need of the next megastar. But judging a player by one single season never seems like a good idea to me. Young upstarts like Bianca needs a few years to get used to the intensity of the tour and devleop their game gradually so they can be a consistently solid player. Peaking too soon sometimes does more harm than good. Having a great season is easy but keeping the level high for years is an uphill battle. You have to have big weapons and keep imrpoving. Over the years so many one slam players flopped right after having the best season and never got back to where they used to be. I believe the injuries and Covid hiatus greatly undermined her confidence as a player. Watched many of her matches last year. She seemed like a lost soul on court, forgetting what kinda player she should be. Luckily she showed positive signs during Miami this year. But two major injuries in one single season really put a big question mark on the longevity of her tennis career. I hope she get her confidence back and be a formidable force on tour.
I'm kinda over the whole Show of apologetics for Professional Sport Athletes. Always ending in "... IF she / he ... THEN..:". If that's really your argument, every f*** Player in the top 100 deserves to win a title. But that is not the reality. People are too fragile these days. Also, it's nothing more than entertainment. There are way more important things in life than winning some arbitrary made up trophy. We should stop to pretend like It's some kind of achievement. We need more Doctors, Farmers, Parents and strong Families in our society. Things that really matter.
She was very much a clone of 99% of other woman professional players ; double hand back hand plays offensive back court game - accept she was very strong AND , she possessed more variety than most - that very good drop shot The modern back court game is brutal on women in particular - with a few exceptions, it suits teens n early 20 s when they are physically peaked - the brutal back court thrashing. This heavy hitting & relentless side to side ( with little finesse) wrecks their bodies - look at Kennan , Osaka or Radacarnu I d say 70% plus of the really successful teens like her & the above , - mostly peak around 20 yrs or earlier - then physically go down fast from there Keep an eye on Swaitec to go a similar trajectory ....
There are countless players, woman and men that one a single tournament or Grand slam and were one hit wonders. I don't think you can categorize her as someone who "could have been" potentially one of the greats there simply isn't basis to this. I think she is good same as Fernandez but other than in Canada are going to be footnotes in tennis history.
I agree with LanceB. I don't think Serena would agree with you. Bianca won that match, wasn't a victory over a fading player. I watched Serina Williams destroy Sharapova not long before the US Open match. She looked scary. Bianca handled her pretty easily. I don't know if Bianca will regain her 2019 form, but if she does, prepare to see her hoisting trophies once again.
When you defeat Serena you back that shit up, Bianca didn't! She flopped instead and keeps doing so, the reason why we're mad is seeing that Serena lost to this...Naomi backed her victories up there's a difference... Bianca needs a lot of work on her game because it does not get easier from here on out. Thanks @@lanceb.
She's a pro tennis player not some club player in Margaret Court's time...injuries happen yes but by now her team should have been able to figure out what the issue is... @@lanceb.
@@melissagreye8445 Bro for a tennis player that is being over weight - for a work at home job thats ok - she is talented but you need to back that up with being right physically which she was not - love to watch her play though so sad about her going down hill
Great video! Thank you for all the research you have done. I wish her well. I think injuries can traumatize someone, which can have a large negative impact on the player....
😂😂😂😂 traumatized pls avg sauga girl who went on a ru. And that’s t was never that good to begin with I bet your the type that thinks everyone deserves a medal GOH
Bianca just doesn't have the discipline that Djokovic has and his team. She should definitely reach out to Djokovic for mental training. Also her diet is not that of Djokovic -- meticulous. She should literally reach out to Djokovic to understand how he has stayed No. 1 for 394 weeks and incorporates his training, stretching, routine everyday. If she emulates Djokovic's strategy, I think she could do well.
That just ain't gonna' happen with her!! That would take nasty, painful qualities like COMMITMENT, DISCIPLINE, DEDICATION!!!!!! Terms that her generation can't even spell, let alone enact!!!!!!!!!! 🖤♠
@@tremaine861 Bianca is on another comeback gig. Hopefully, she can finally get a long stretch of matches to be with the best again. A tough road. She has showed sets with her old brilliance but yet to be consistent. Cincinnati this week. Next, the U.S. Open. Here’s hoping. C’mon Bianca!
I didn’t like the mention of an Injured Serena since they are all playing with injuries. If Serena was so bad off she shouldn’t be playing. She beat her because she is a great tennis player.
I really like bibi and one thing many people noticed was her shot selection post return. She would slice less and her power was less than pre injury. I’ve always wondered why she changed her shots to being a power hitter and not use her iconic drop shots.
Confidence. If she were to remain injury free and able to play regularly again for extended periods of time, I'm sure all the variety that made her so special would return as well. I hope it happens.
I have to say I am depressed about Bibi still waiting for her back to heal to allow her to play again. Her injury problems continue, maybe not playing until next March, if then. Surely, the tennis Gods can release their hold on this talented soul, freeing her up to again let her show us her magic, for even just one more major title. That’s all I ask for, just one more.
She is not playing well now at all. She is young but always complains of injuries. Not much exercise. She should give up tennis and go for some other profession. These days young players are far too good for her. She could never beat them or go beyond the first round.
I’m sure the most talented of the ladies will take your wise advice. One thing about advice is, it’s free. Everybody wants to give it. You are exactly the kind of person I want Bibi to make eat crow. Nobody can play the game like her when healthy. I know it’s a long shot now but we just might see how great she can really be with no more injuries. I’m not giving up on this charismatic, exciting to watch athlete until I am forced to. She’s far too talented to write off at 23 years old.
Bianca plays in Paree on Monday, after being off again with an injury for 9 months. Her aficionados are pleased. Her detractors are sharpening their knives.
Garbine Muguruza doesn't move as well as the other top players. She was able to win big over a limited period of time. But there are too many great athletes coming into the women's game who will literally outrun and out hit her. Garbine needs to do a better job of varying her serve placement, serve and volley more and try to shorten points. She can't stay in long rallies with any of the top women. Bianca is a great athlete who has had bad luck with injuries. She needs to hire a good chiropractor who also has a deep knowledge when it comes to nutritional supplements.
It’s not bad luck, she’s carrying too much weight around. She’s an injury waiting to happen. And chiropractors are not doctors or nutritionists. She needs to get on a diet, get physically fit off the court, stop partying and goofing around, and then return to the court with some serious dedication. But I don’t think she’ll do that. Winning too early spoils players, and they start blaming everything but themselves.
@dukeon She's had terrible injuries in front of the whole world where she's on the ground writhing in pain. There's nothing in dispute there. I don't think she's been any heavier than when she beat Serena Williams in the US Open final. Maybe there's another term for bad luck maybe reverse lottery etc.
Terrible attitude and zero respect towards her opponents on court, it's simply impossible to root for her. Never forget Kerber's famous words calling her the "biggest drama queen". And that's from Angie who is a class champion and very rarely beefs with anyone on court.
Your audio is overdubbed or something. Doesn’t match the video in a few places and sounds weird, like those overdubbed video game ads. I never cared for Andreescu. Too overweight, too dramatic. Seems like all Canada produces are overhyped flashes in the pan. Bouchard, Andreescu, Raducanu. Blech.
I’m patiently waiting for you to return, Bibi. You are the most charismatic, exciting player to watch play since Monica Seles. Please come back if you are healthy and still desire to play. C’mon Bibi! Come back and stick it to your detractors. Bibi 3, Williams sisters 0, accomplished as a teenager. That’s engrained in my memory for good.
What I would I would give to see her play again but only at her best. She was the most exciting player to watch since Monica Seles, even if just for one year. I want my Queen of Drama back!
REALLY wish her well. The injuries the players get these days, is insane. I am British and hoping Emma Raducanu will make a recovery too.

Peaking too soon sometimes does more harm than good. Having a great season is easy but keeping the level high for years is an uphill battle. You have to have big weapons and keep imrpoving. Over the years so many one slam players flopped right after having the best season and never got back to where they used to be. I believe the injuries and Covid hiatus greatly undermined her confidence as a player. Watched many of her matches last year. She seemed like a lost soul on court, forgetting what kinda player she should be. Luckily she showed positive signs during Miami this year. But two major injuries in one single season really put a big question mark on the longevity of her tennis career. I hope she get her confidence back and be a formidable force on tour.
Bianca defeats Naomi. She wasn’t supposed to, according to all predictors. I just love experts. An amazing athlete and woman. Congratulations, Bianca.
she's the Delpo of WTA
I'm kinda over the whole Show of apologetics for Professional Sport Athletes. Always ending in "... IF she / he ... THEN..:". If that's really your argument, every f*** Player in the top 100 deserves to win a title. But that is not the reality. People are too fragile these days. Also, it's nothing more than entertainment. There are way more important things in life than winning some arbitrary made up trophy. We should stop to pretend like It's some kind of achievement. We need more Doctors, Farmers, Parents and strong Families in our society. Things that really matter.
She was very much a clone of 99% of other woman professional players ; double hand back hand plays offensive back court game - accept she was very strong AND , she possessed more variety than most - that very good drop shot
The modern back court game is brutal on women in particular - with a few exceptions, it suits teens n early 20 s when they are physically peaked - the brutal back court thrashing. This heavy hitting & relentless side to side ( with little finesse) wrecks their bodies - look at Kennan , Osaka or Radacarnu
I d say 70% plus of the really successful teens like her & the above , - mostly peak around 20 yrs or earlier - then physically go down fast from there
Keep an eye on Swaitec to go a similar trajectory ....
Congratulations Bianca, on the win!
There are countless players, woman and men that one a single tournament or Grand slam and were one hit wonders. I don't think you can categorize her as someone who "could have been" potentially one of the greats there simply isn't basis to this.
I think she is good same as Fernandez but other than in Canada are going to be footnotes in tennis history.
What happened to Felix Auger Alliasime?
who cares
@@MrChickflikz ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🖤♠
Her style of play looks very cumbersome or complicated. She always looks like she's late for all her shots
I agree with LanceB. I don't think Serena would agree with you. Bianca won that match, wasn't a victory over a fading player. I watched Serina Williams destroy Sharapova not long before the US Open match. She looked scary. Bianca handled her pretty easily. I don't know if Bianca will regain her 2019 form, but if she does, prepare to see her hoisting trophies once again.
When you defeat Serena you back that shit up, Bianca didn't! She flopped instead and keeps doing so, the reason why we're mad is seeing that Serena lost to this...Naomi backed her victories up there's a difference... Bianca needs a lot of work on her game because it does not get easier from here on out. Thanks @@lanceb.
Good luck to her because she can't even get through any match without dropping a set let alone stay injury free@@Mike-yg8ig
She's a pro tennis player not some club player in Margaret Court's time...injuries happen yes but by now her team should have been able to figure out what the issue is... @@lanceb.
@@lanceb. Gonna make it hard to communicate.
injuries....unfortunately like Milos Roanic
Her Problem was being over weight she has to loose weight lots of it and then she can maybe some up but the damage is done with so many injuries
she is not overweight.
@@melissagreye8445 Bro for a tennis player that is being over weight - for a work at home job thats ok - she is talented but you need to back that up with being right physically which she was not - love to watch her play though so sad about her going down hill
Great video! Thank you for all the research you have done. I wish her well. I think injuries can traumatize someone, which can have a large negative impact on the player....
😂😂😂😂 traumatized pls avg sauga girl who went on a ru. And that’s t was never that good to begin with I bet your the type that thinks everyone deserves a medal GOH
When Andreescu won the US Open, she was given a verbal kiss of death by the great Rod Laver, when he publicly declared her to be "A Star Is Born"...😏
Bianca just doesn't have the discipline that Djokovic has and his team. She should definitely reach out to Djokovic for mental training. Also her diet is not that of Djokovic -- meticulous. She should literally reach out to Djokovic to understand how he has stayed No. 1 for 394 weeks and incorporates his training, stretching, routine everyday. If she emulates Djokovic's strategy, I think she could do well.
That just ain't gonna' happen with her!! That would take nasty, painful qualities like COMMITMENT, DISCIPLINE, DEDICATION!!!!!! Terms that her generation can't even spell, let alone enact!!!!!!!!!! 🖤♠
You can't compare her with Seles. At the time, she was the best in the world and an all-time great, until that psycho stabbed her.
I wonder in the past 6 ~7 years, is it a good break through for the USO women's champions or is it a curse??😮
Bianca is very talented and powerful player....she must come back and take out the stupid players of today.....I wish her a quick recovery....
she likes to party alot, always having fun on IG. tennis is last in her life
Sadly, her career looks more and more like that of E Bouchard.
As a Canadian im done with her Drama Queen crap
She has had a lot of injuries, that is not being a drama queen
Has she retired from tennis?
No.
No, she’s still playing. But I’ve heard that she hasn’t been playing well lately
@@tremaine861 Bianca is on another comeback gig. Hopefully, she can finally get a long stretch of matches to be with the best again. A tough road. She has showed sets with her old brilliance but yet to be consistent. Cincinnati this week. Next, the U.S. Open. Here’s hoping. C’mon Bianca!
Don’t really care to much drama with her.
@@steffens6946 I recently saw Alcaraz,Gauff and Iga bawling on court when losing. Drama?
Oops, shocking 3rd set against Paolini. Unexpected. Bring on the London grass.
I didn’t like the mention of an Injured Serena since they are all playing with injuries. If Serena was so bad off she shouldn’t be playing. She beat her because she is a great tennis player.
No she isn’t
Your face seems frozen. What did you do to it?
Andrescew? It's Andrescu (oo)
No, it’s Andreescu (four syllables)
I really like bibi and one thing many people noticed was her shot selection post return. She would slice less and her power was less than pre injury.
I’ve always wondered why she changed her shots to being a power hitter and not use her iconic drop shots.
Confidence. If she were to remain injury free and able to play regularly again for extended periods of time, I'm sure all the variety that made her so special would return as well. I hope it happens.
She needs to lose weight and get in shape or she’ll keep getting injured.
I have to say I am depressed about Bibi still waiting for her back to heal to allow her to play again. Her injury problems continue, maybe not playing until next March, if then. Surely, the tennis Gods can release their hold on this talented soul, freeing her up to again let her show us her magic, for even just one more major title. That’s all I ask for, just one more.
She also peaked too soon...
I hadn't thought of that, you may be on to something. She still has incredible skill and athleticism.
Bibi ❤ forever
She is not playing well now at all. She is young but always complains of injuries. Not much exercise. She should give up tennis and go for some other profession. These days young players are far too good for her. She could never beat them or go beyond the first round.
I’m sure the most talented of the ladies will take your wise advice. One thing about advice is, it’s free. Everybody wants to give it. You are exactly the kind of person I want Bibi to make eat crow. Nobody can play the game like her when healthy. I know it’s a long shot now but we just might see how great she can really be with no more injuries. I’m not giving up on this charismatic, exciting to watch athlete until I am forced to. She’s far too talented to write off at 23 years old.
Bianca plays in Paree on Monday, after being off again with an injury for 9 months. Her aficionados are pleased. Her detractors are sharpening their knives.
Garbine Muguruza doesn't move as well as the other top players. She was able to win big over a limited period of time. But there are too many great athletes coming into the women's game who will literally outrun and out hit her. Garbine needs to do a better job of varying her serve placement, serve and volley more and try to shorten points. She can't stay in long rallies with any of the top women.
Bianca is a great athlete who has had bad luck with injuries. She needs to hire a good chiropractor who also has a deep knowledge when it comes to nutritional supplements.
It’s not bad luck, she’s carrying too much weight around. She’s an injury waiting to happen. And chiropractors are not doctors or nutritionists. She needs to get on a diet, get physically fit off the court, stop partying and goofing around, and then return to the court with some serious dedication. But I don’t think she’ll do that. Winning too early spoils players, and they start blaming everything but themselves.
@dukeon She's had terrible injuries in front of the whole world where she's on the ground writhing in pain. There's nothing in dispute there. I don't think she's been any heavier than when she beat Serena Williams in the US Open final. Maybe there's another term for bad luck maybe reverse lottery etc.
Her boyfriend (they are now engaged) is my neighbour
Terrible attitude and zero respect towards her opponents on court, it's simply impossible to root for her.
Never forget Kerber's famous words calling her the "biggest drama queen". And that's from Angie who is a class champion and very rarely beefs with anyone on court.
because she started doing plastic surgeries
Who cares she's washed up
Barry, that’s a lot of bull.
Get rid of that fake tree.
Your audio is overdubbed or something. Doesn’t match the video in a few places and sounds weird, like those overdubbed video game ads. I never cared for Andreescu. Too overweight, too dramatic. Seems like all Canada produces are overhyped flashes in the pan. Bouchard, Andreescu, Raducanu. Blech.
Why do I have a shrinking feeling in a couple of years, we will be
seeing a video of what happened to Coco Gauff?
Gauff on the way 🤝
@@virat5828 LOOOOL
I’m patiently waiting for you to return, Bibi. You are the most charismatic, exciting player to watch play since Monica Seles. Please come back if you are healthy and still desire to play. C’mon Bibi! Come back and stick it to your detractors. Bibi 3, Williams sisters 0, accomplished as a teenager. That’s engrained in my memory for good.
Charismatic and exciting? 😴
@@dukeon I repeat. Most exciting to watch since Seles.
Andreesc-who?
No doubt....So she accomplished more in a few years than most in a lifetime...Clickbait Title....
She has undeniable talent. I used to enjoy watching her matches. I don’t watch the WTA anymore because I think Sabalanka is a dude.
YOU NEED TO STOP!!!! 😒🙄
She had a lucky fluke run that’s what happened she just not that good 💯 stick to posting on insta 😂😂😂😂
Get real she is a big drama queen almost every time she plays.👎
What I would I would give to see her play again but only at her best. She was the most exciting player to watch since Monica Seles, even if just for one year. I want my Queen of Drama back!
