@@mikiafu Iga's weakness is proof there hasnt been any evolution in tennis. evolution is going from serve and volly to baseline power game. there is nothing iga is doing that wasnt done when wozniacki was number 1
It's been almost a year after Caroline's comeback, and her ranking is around 110th. For someone who aimed to win another grand slam, this is looking pretty far - and is back to the defensive playing style.
@ClarkGreaseball Good point. Definitely would not make a comeback with that Arthritis that she's got. I'd say is kind of crazy like Murray playing with his hips.
@@alexandanu It's been a year and she publicly aimed to win the US Open. I like Caroline but my comment is about her expectations against results in a year, not about her qualities or whatever. Serena got back to a final straight away, Kim won a grand slam right after it, Svitolina won titles right after it. Caroline did not go past any QF in a year.
Wozniacki's defensive playing style isn't working as well in this generation's tennis. I think she should try to mix things up more with slices/dropshots/angles. People saying she needs to just hit harder - that's not the solution. She's never gonna outhit some of the power hitters
Ce n'est pas une surprise...si Wozniacki arrive à réintégrer le top 100 c'est déjà pas mal mais vu sa prestation c'est peut-être trop optimiste de ma part
Towards the end of wozniackis 1st career, she adjusted to add some aggressive-ness to her game. Now she's back to her plain defensive style again. With how womens tennis has evolved further, goodluck woth that 😅
A well-desevred glory from Elise Mertens. Belgian tennis competitor has undoubtedly demonstrated a more intrepid and resilient performance than Wozniacki. It manifests that Mertens will really be consistent on the grass season with her quality, perseverance, desire, tenacity and ambition. She looks vibrant and fervent. As to Wozniacki, she has nothing to prove after this era. The presence is sufficient.
Wozniacki’s career is overrated. If Jana Fett had challenged her match point serve at the Australian Open 2018 second round (as her coach was screaming for her to do) - the serve was in on the replay - Wozniacki would never have won her only slam. She would have continued her career average at the slams of being eliminated before the second week. I guess she’s hoping for the U.S. open to give her a retirement ceremony.
Why does wozniacki even bother. This playing style might have worked 10 years ago but it wont be enough in 2024... she should know that... sorry, no wild cards please.
Now we know why she didn't want Simona to be given the wildcard. Not because she wanted players who have failed drug test "to work for it", but because she wanted the WC for herself. She also wants mothers who play tennis to be given special treatment. So everything has to be about her. As Monica Niculescu famously said in 2018, she is giving herself way too much importance.
Unfortunately for Caro, she’s always been pretty useless on clay and grass. Maybe she will win a match or two in the is hardcourt summer swing, and then she will be able to officially retire.
@@funkslave9425 i mean can you blame her? mentally esp it’s been tough and on top of it all, physically not being able to keep up at the level bc of those wrongful accusations of purposeful ingestion of a banned substance
@@vaughnbiggs3565 those will start to sound like excuses very soon. If she can’t redeem herself on the court, the doping allegations, whether true or false will linger because her detractors will say “you see, we told you she can’t win without cheating” I felt the same about Maria. I wanted her to win so badly after her ban, but she couldn’t. Nothing will prove Simonas innocence more than if she wins another slam. I hope that for her
Did Caroline think this was a practice session? I felt like she did nothing to gain the upper hand in rallies (would be sad if she did and I didn’t notice). I can’t believe she was number 1 for so long. That consistency game ain’t hitting like it used to.

Well done for this performance Elise! I hope she goes further in the tournament
And that's the level that Piotr Wozniacki DEMANDED to receive a wildcard directly to the main round of a GS? Yeah lol
So true 😅
She will enter the qualies for a GS this time. Good practice for the main draw I reckon.
A first round "Wozniaki vs 'someone'" sells ways more tickets than "unknown X vs unknownX"
@@gonderAmh Wozniacki VS unknown 1st round will be scheduled on court 17 tho
At the end she DID get a WC for Wimbledon and also won the first two matches...
I see Wozniacki's backhand (her best shot) isn't doing as much damage as it used to.
The game evolved a lot since she was on the top and she's also a bit slower, which doesn't help as well.
the consistency is there, but the penetrating groundstrokes are MIA. .
@@mikiafu evolved how? Iga's weakness is aggressive big hitters, the Serena Sharapova types. She is just past her prime and that is ok.
@@deusexmachina9776 I am a bit confused are we discussing Igas weakness now or how women's tennis has evolved in general?

Little impatient & uncharitable comment. She’s fine, what did you expect, top 30 right away ?

She ain't winning nothing
@@botoshdef not winning any 4th rounds in grand slams for sure 😂😂🤣
Can barely see the ball with this quality. Please give us HD

I don't think wozniacki's built to smash the ball
This center court looks great !
Good first set from you Caroline, Mertens is a tough opponent
Ce n'est pas une surprise...si Wozniacki arrive à réintégrer le top 100 c'est déjà pas mal mais vu sa prestation c'est peut-être trop optimiste de ma part
Woz maximizes her talent, which is basically to be consistent. It was never great, but enough to be an extremely successful player.
Dla nas wszystkich ważne że gra lubimy jej grę i zaangażowanie 😊😊😊😊😊
Wozniacki playing too defensively… and against Mertens?? 😭
She's always played like that. It has worked sometimes 10 years ago but wont now.
a pusher will always remain a pusher, specially vs another pusher like Mertens lol
Wozniacki is saving herself for the Olympics.
Wozniacki is gorgeous!! 🥺😍😍🥰
Absolute goddess
Wozza looked a bit slow and tired out there.
These two have exactly the same game play except one is 5 years younger.
EXACTLY my thoughts haha!!
Mertens' slice and net game is better.
two pusher pushing it up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@gonderAmh sweetie if you calling them pushers , I'd like to see you play;)
La vuelta de Carlolina fue esperanzadora y hacia pensar que alcanzaría rondas finales pero con el paso del tiempo no está siendo así.
Proof not to give her or Venus free undeserving wildcards going forward
Elise showed really high level
Towards the end of wozniackis 1st career, she adjusted to add some aggressive-ness to her game. Now she's back to her plain defensive style again. With how womens tennis has evolved further, goodluck woth that 😅
Why is the WTA video quality so poor?
Both players are playing exactly the same style which is consistent, Merten is better at the net
I love Caroline but she needs to hit the ball a little harder.

Always nice to see Caroline
Elise kicking ass
Why there’s no one talking about the waste of WC?
Caroline seems not deserve it
Elise❤
the number 1 doubles player😍
Merten is so predictable ... left right left right .... but it worked lol :D
Lexus 😊😊

Good tennis, awful low-quality video.
Are you not feeling the sunset Caroline??!!! Hahaha
It's a time for woz to go home to take care of her children.
Yay Elise!!

good fly back to Poland
Not Denmark?
Nice win for Elise. ❤🌹
The most pointless comeback in WTA continues. Mertens quickly putting the monotonous pusher out of her (and our) misery.
Elise too Good..
One semi pusher...beating a pusher.
This result is going to spoil Wozza’s good mood from Rory hitting the self-destruct button
Poor Caroline..the best is behind her
Unfortunately for Caro, she’s always been pretty useless on clay and grass. Maybe she will win a match or two in the is hardcourt summer swing, and then she will be able to officially retire.
The "Celebrity Mom" isn't quite working out for Caroline. Her days are over....and she doesn't know it.
Wild-card chaser lost in the first round again.😒
this is what Woz gets for running her mouth abt Simona Halep:)
Well to be fair Halep hasn’t done anything worth mentioning since her return
