Poor Aga...can’t even win against a player she owned for all 14 straight sets they played. She’ll be unseeded at the us open and soon will have to even play qualies. After being so good for a decade and always being top 10, looks like she’s done. It’s sad, as a fan I don’t even want to watch her like this. Maybe it’s time to retire and have a family. :(
It’s confusing....about ten years ago 30 was so old in Tennis and hardly any pros won or played after 30. I can’t tell if she’s just not motivated or if she’s just just her confidence. It all started when she switched to the crappy srixon racquet and then she got married, got sick and had a bunch of injuries. For her defensive style of play, her body may be breaking down too much. If her fall sucks, I would be surprised if someone as good as her keeps going.
MovieFan4Life- Yeah, now that you mention it, you are right: Cljisters retired with 29, Sánchez Vicario with 31, Steffi Graf with 30... But now it is fashionable to play as long as you can, not only in tennis, but in other sports like football (soccer). Look at Kerber; she just won her third GS title with 30 years. So the age is not an excuse... Well maybe for the long rallies. She should change her game. Evolve. She should find motivation again.
That’s because the tour was much stronger ten years or so ago, the Williams sisters, Henin, Clijsters, Davenport, Capriati, Hingis, Mauresmo, Dementieva, ...etc. It started to go downhill during the late 2000s and in the early 2010s there’s a stretch of two years where the Grand Slam finals were contested by players who are over 25 yo, many of them only reach a GS finals for the first time and some even won it. I just think there are a lot of “good” players in the WTA tour currently but there hasn’t been any *great* player in the last ten years or so
The problem with aga is that ahe didn't try to change or elevate her game in the last 4 years or so. She just sticks to pushing her opponents and being defensive. She's one of the players who has a lot of variety but didn't utilize it as much. Putting the ball back in play and not attacking takes a toll on your body and that is happening right now
Aga crushes her in all those matches with ease. Aga just will literally lose to anyone holding a racquet now. Pliskova is a bad mover and Aga has too much variety and court speed.
rachray83 Radwanska used to play much better than now. In the last two years she had many physical problems. She's much slower and less responsive than she used to be. Aga played good enough but not enough. It was obvious Aga didn't move as quickly as she used to. That was not the same Radwanska Pliskova fought against in the past. Aga still has a brilliant touch but no more speed

... sorry Aggie, still love you tho. Good luck at U. S. Open....
Aga needs to switch back to babolat! Everything started going downhill without her magic wand!
Love both girls
Why are the clothes from FILA (pretty much always) so... tasteless?
Finally a long overdue win!

MovieFan4Life she lacks thepower
But what's the problem with her? She is only 29... It's like she is not training much recently right? or she is not into this anymore...

Is Rennae Stubbs Plíšková’s coach now?!!
Chuck Kirk Yees
Chuck Kirk She is. Thank the Gods, because stealing Babz coach wasn't a good career move.
Two of the most cold hearted and really knows how to have handshake after a match 😂
anne Camaya Radwanska cold hearted you're kiddin' right? Aga is one of the most funniest people out there
Agreed Miguel. Aga is really calm on court but such a nice person and a funny one behind the scenes.
karolina pliskova in 2017 number 1. Now 2018 number 8
And now number 3.
Wag1 for isia
Why is the Irish woman's mic so low?
Gracias por el partido
Steffi retired at 30 and had 22 grand slam to her name,,she is the best player all time period,,not even serena
I agree about Steffi grand slam AND the olympics....had it not been for seles, she would have beaten Court re: total GSlams
Amazing karolina pliskova.. and that last Ace to seal the match.. omg.. Ace queen is back 👸🎾
I was there
I am beside to you

Aga's game is declining since 2 years back.? Sad to see
agree..used to love watching her..such finesse...but yea, needs to retire
If there was something I loved in Cincinnati was the camera. It was lovely. Now, they changed the view to the court
No idea how Pliskova couldn't win a set against Aga before 😕

rachray83 aga used to be able to play actual tennis back in the day
It was mostly mental. Pliskova went onto the court expecting to lose.
Radwanska is over
I think you are over, dude.
Winner is karolina pilscova
Poor Aga can retire now
lol you wish dude
Aga should concentrate on doubles.
Lord Radwanska’s form is horrendous
Retire .
Boring
I hate agas game style. Glad shes out
