It is so insightful to hear Rennae Stubbs and Andrea Petkovic talk to each other player-to-player. What they each observe and pick up, about technique and strategy and emotions, while watching matches and players are things I couldn't learn to recognize. They just have so much personal experience to draw from to relate to what's happening on (and off) court and are able to articulate it. They also have insider information and behind-the-scenes stories; the discussion about being in a state of constant stress during the course of a tournament, on "rest" days and match days, was especially interesting. Petko being like "those of us that are high-strung..."
Great listen. The duo are a great listen in general. I snickered when Petko dropped some f-bombs.
something from yesterday that I forgot to say. I just think it was beautiful for Aryna and Iga to play one of the best matches of the year and of their careers in front of feliciano who was talking shit about women's tennis, and then having him give the winner's trophy to Iga, who had said minutes before " who's gonna say that women's tennis is boring?" right in front of him. damn near poetic
