Coco just hit a 128mph serve. The 5th fastest ever recorded (Officially). Serena’s fastest serve ever recorded in her career was 128mph. She’s probably going to break the record at this point (131mph).
Coco Gauff has played her last grand slam as a teenager.

Absolutely heartbroken for Zhang, all we want is to see her smile and it’s been so long since we’ve seen it. Losing streak extends to 13.
Complete lack of respect from Toth, literally seconds after Zhang retires and shakes her hand she starts celebrating

Into her first tour level SF, Francesca Jones you absolute queen 👑🐐
Who the fuck gave these ATP flops the confidence to mock Emma? Get a grip you’re quote tweeting based on a click bait title from an article where she opens up on her naivety as a teenager, how she was used, and how she felt unsafe. How fucking dare you.
@chachiversace_
Lmao maybe you should Google the difference between mens and womens tennis in terms of power and speed, everyone ranked inside the top 250 of the ATP should be able to hit a serve like that with ease that’s why I didn’t specify because its very obvious
AO: Projected Iga vs Coco QF
RG: Projected Iga vs Coco QF
WM: Projected Iga vs Coco QF
USO: Projected Iga vs Coco QF
25% chance for it to happen once, but for it to happen 4 times in a row? 0.39%
0.39% chance, let that sink in. Less than 1% and it’s happened.
I don't think that I've seen a WTA player look this dominant over a two-match stretch before.
Swiatek won her first 2 matches in Doha while only dropping 2 combined games!
Rybakina and Kvitova have withdrawn. Updated top 8 seeds:
1. Jabeur (world number 7)
2. Sakkari
3. Garcia
4. Keys
5. Kasatkina
6. Bencic
7. Ostapenko
8. Kudermetova (world number 18)
Yes, the world number 7 is the 1st seed at a 1000 event,
@WTA
wtf is this schedule
Oh christ, the top 8 seeds are going to be:
1. Rybakina
2. Jabeur
3. Sakkari
4. Garcia
5. Keys
6. Kasatkina
7. Kvitová
8. Bencic
That's why you don't put a 1000 2 weeks after a slam, no Coco, Iga, Ayrna, or even the defending champion 😭 Sakkari 3rd seed at a 1000? In 2023?
Guys, we’ve officially entered the villain era and honestly I’m here for it. It’s clear that some people just have an agenda against her, jealously or what idk but they hate to see her happy. She is still that bitch though y’all stay safe 🙏
Matches lost in straight sets in 2023:
Iga Świątek - 4
Aryna Sabalenka - 5
Elena Rybakina - 3
Venus Williams - 0
Emma Raducanu - 3
Eugenie Bouchard - 3
I think it's clear who the ACTUAL big 3 are
Anyone suffering from mental health problems should receive professional help and support, but it is NEVER an excuse to assault women. Break point changed your opinion? Would your opinion change if Chiara Passari had a Netflix show? To talk about everything he put her through?
Honestly I really, really changed my opinion on Kyrgios after watching break point. I don’t care about Atp that much so all those things about his mental issues were truly new for me. I’m not his fan or smth now but I feel like he is too much overhated here
Raducanu vs Osaka:
- Charity match in Melbourne
- Tuesday 9th @ 7:30am GMT
Raducanu vs M. Andreeva:
- Exhabition match in Kooyong
- TBA (10th, 11th, or 12th)
Ideal AO prep for Emma, suggests that the heavy strapping on her right thigh wasn't anything serious
This is genius from Emma, she knows she’s rusty so she purposefully lost 3 games in a row from 5-2 in order to get more match time, knowing she’d win it 7-5 in the end. We’re in the presence of greatness right now
Why are we still hyping that cringy homophobic waste of space? 138 isn’t special, Sabalenka has hit 136 before. What next? “Ben Shelton just hit a dropshot”
First 500 title, bagelled the Wimbledon champion, 6 match win streak without dropping a set, forehand started looking better, etc.
Her dad’s ugly ass shows up and this shit happens. Coincidence? I think the fuck not.
Coco Gauff teases Ben Shelton about being a rookie on tour:
“She messes with me sometimes… She’ll be like, ‘Hey, what’s up, rookie? How’s the year going so far?’” 😂
Ben was then asked if Coco is like a big sister to him:
“No! Not a big sister, not at all. Coco is a little
Open Era players to have made 4 consecutive singles QFs and 3 consecutive doubles QFs at the French Open before the age of 21:
🇨🇭Martina Hingis
🇩🇪 Steffi Graf
🇺🇸 Coco Gauff
-- End of List --
Here goes the monthly Carlo Agostinelli - Emma Raducanu dating rumours 😭
I swear we always come to the same conclusion but a new picture and here we go again
Oh christ, the top 8 seeds are going to be:
1. Rybakina
2. Jabeur
3. Sakkari
4. Garcia
5. Keys
6. Kasatkina
7. Kvitová
8. Bencic

I’m actually sick of watching Coco’s box with their facial expressions and body language, like why don’t you actually do something? It’s every fucking week and they pull the same face. Her forehand has been this bad for years and you’ve done what exactly?
Friendly reminder that in the second set Emma was hitting an AVERAGE of 99mph on the second serve, hitting many 100+ mph.
The average ATP second serve speed is 96mph. Let that sink in.
Katie Boulter is the new british number 1!
It has been held by Emma Raducanu for almost 2 years, but Katie will overtake her in the rankings on Monday
I’m glad it was her, she’s capable of playing top 50 level tennis if she stays injury free
Open Era players to have made 4 consecutive French Open QFs before the age of 21:
🇨🇭M. Hingis
🇷🇸🇺🇸 M. Seles
🇩🇪 S. Graf
🇨🇿 H. Mandlíková
🇭🇷 I. Majoli
🇪🇸 C. Martínez
(NEW) 🇺🇸 C. Gauff
Open Era players to have made 4 consecutive French Open QFs before the age of 21:
Hingis
Seles
Graf
Mandlíková
Majoli
Martínez
Because Monica Seles represented Yugoslavia as a teenager, if Coco makes the QF this year she would become the first american in history to do it.
Hate to say it but some Penko fans are starting to sound like Iga fans with the excuses “oh she only got 36 hours rest” like bffr at a 1000 event you’d have to play the next day, not have a day off. 36 hours rest please don’t make me laugh, Coco even played doubles last night
Pavlyuchenkova - Errani H2H is now 6-2
Last 5 sets played:
6-0
6-0
6-1
6-1
6-1
She hit 40 winners today, FORTY, in a match that lasted 1hr 2min. Plays Iga in R2 🔥
“Coco’s draw is so easy” “It opened up so much for her” bffr she hasn’t lost to someone not called Iga Swiatek or Jessica Pegula in 7 months. SEVEN!! Who tf was she going to struggle with before the SFs?
Leylah Fernandez says Emma Raducanu is something special for women’s tennis & she hopes they can compete side by side once again:
“Well, 2021 was a special tournament for both of us, we both did extraordinary things not many people get to experience. I was able to beat a couple

Naomi Osaka’s comeback match will be against Tamara Korpatsch, with the winner to play Karolina Pliskova in the second round. And Rafa Nadal’s return will be against a qualifier
Umpire gave a warning, that should’ve been the end of it, there was no malice from Kato it was just miscommunication
Bouzková and SST asking the umpire to change their decision and DQ them is just pathetic
Sara Sorribes y Marie Bouzkova, a 1/4F de

Kato le ha dado un pelotazo a una recogepelotas con el punto ya terminado
Coco reaching her 9th doubles final at the age of 18 with the chance of winning her 6th title isn't talked about enough. Reached world No. 1, 2 grand slam finals, and has achieved things with 3 different partners who have very different playing styles in doubles.
I love Maria, but Venus beats her in every single category of comparison. The only argument for Maria is that she won all 4 slams. However, it's not that Venus didn't make all 4 finals, it's that she had to beat Serena and Hingis, etc. Maria had to beat Errani and Ivanovic
What is everyone’s favourite kits that there favourite player has worn at a tournament?!
I always find it interesting the different varieties people have…
In the Open Era, only 6 women have made the finals of the Olympics, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon.
Serena Williams
Venus Williams
Maria Sharapova
Steffi Graf
Arantxa Sánchez Vicario
Justine Henin
Today, Markéta Vondroušová could make it 7.
Guys she’s 19… and she’s almost in double digits for slam 2nd weeks that’s unreal. Any stats people know the record for most slam 2nd weeks as a teenager?
So happy for all my Coco oomfs y’all are the best 🫶🏻 Emma will always be my no. 1, but the Coco stans are some of the nicest people on here and entertaining especially with a new stan war each month 😭 Been through a lot with you guys, especially the forehand over the years 💀
Emma Raducanu has arrived at the 95th Academy Awards:
“Personally I think I should’ve been nominated for Best Actress. The way I got these bitches thinking I belonged at 78 in the rankings was impressive and a showcase of my acting abilities”
#Oscars95
Like I’m sorry but if a random live rankings website has the info then surely you can just drop a quick announcement tweet or would that be too much trouble?
Emma's weakest surface is clay, but I can't see why it can't become her best. Below are the few highlights from her actually playing on clay in 2022, and whilst she hasn't had the results yet, I honestly think her game can thrive on it, despite the lack of experience.
By winning the doubles title today, Coco has entered the top 40 in the all-time career prize money rankings:
32. Ivanovic -> $15,510,787
33. Ostapenko (-) -> $15,204,697
(NEW) 34. Gauff (+6) -> $15,202,703
35. Mauresmo -> $15,022,476
36. Seles -> $14,891,762
17. After 17 attempts, Coco still hasn’t come from a set down to beat a top 10 player. She is now 0-17 against top 10 players after losing the first set. Depression.
