Sana ito na yung confidence booster sa kanya. Feeling ko minsan confidence lang din talaga na kaya mo talunin ang top ranked players eh kasi magagaling na sila lahat.

I was watching the Australian Open podcast last night and that’s exactly what the panelists said. Everyone on the top 200 are all skilled. But, not everyone has that champions’ absolute confidence.

Tennis at the top level is more of a game of mental fortitude.

Sabalenka played like a world no. 1 this morning. Her opponent played well but Sabalenka is on another level. On to the Finals against the winner of Eala/Pegula.

Quarters palang sa ngayon.

Sana tuloy tuloy, for an WTA1000 open, malaking achievement na ito for her.

Sana Hindi maunahan Ng intimidation at eyeballs on her si Alex. The tennis world has been looking for a heroine w/ brown melatonin for quite some time now. I hope she doesn't succumb to pressure.

Also, iga swiatek has a reputation for being somewhat of a , for the lack of a better word, "ungentlewomanly". Medyo she can resort to underhanded tactics kaya she's not that well liked sa circuit. I hope eala will play through the polish's antics w/ composure and grace.

Oh, Wow...so eala is continuing w/ her giant killing ways.

Btw, in my previous post, I meant to say melanin instead of melatonin. ��

Alex isn't exactly poor, though. Her mom was CFO of Globe until retirement just last October.

In any case, I don't think what she's done in this tournament will be duplicated by a Southeast Asian for a long time: have 3 consecutive victories against 3 Grand Slam winners in a Masters tournament without losing a set.

Well, the Williams sisters aren't exactly brownish in skin color especially to the hyper critical eyes of the world.

The last "morena" queen to come out of the tennis world is Emma radacanu. Unfortunately, after her us open success 2 or 3 years ago, she went into a deep funk tennis wise. The Good thing for her though is that she was able to cash in on her then new found meteroic fame by bagging several multi-million endorsement deals.

The UK born radacanu , w/ Her exotic Chilean - Chinese ethnic looks , proved to be a hit among the potentially cash rich global south and also w/ the non pale faced 1st world markets.
