Tatjana Maria

Cholinska, you know, doing that at the Roland-Garros and in Wuhan.

Tatiana Maria driving people mad at Queen's Club last year, as Jake reminds us.

For sure, for sure.

that's what we're talking about here and like even oh i mean look

They're able to serve big and hit big ground strokes, and that's maybe more true on the ATP Tour than the WTA Tour.

There's still room for some more tactical options, as we saw last year in Queens, where Tatiana Maria was able to take out big time players and take that title by basically slicing her forehand and slicing her backhand so it's not the same between ATP and WTA but you could make a general statement that there are a lot of players who play similarly and I equate that to power tennis so the fact that we have someone like Valenska who shows you a lot of different skills on the court don't know how many times she employed the drop shot lob combo i'm gonna say right now that maya is one of the best at this particular combo i still think google golf is really good at drop shot and lobs as well but valenska today was able to frustrate cartel who's a phenomenal athlete with that drop shot and lob combo And it's not only that, like I said in previous videos, she changes up the height of her ground strokes.

She also will utilize her backhand slice that's not just a regular slice, but also can be hit with side spin.

And she has a phenomenal lefty serve.

When she's not, she's not.

And this is just one of those weeks for Ostapenko, needed it after losing all three matches she played in the North American hard court stretch to Zheng Shuai, Magdalena Frech, and Tatjana Maria.

Um, now of course over these last couple of weeks, wins for her over Badosa, Kasatkina, Pegula.

Needs it, needs to make that push.
