You'd love watching Sabelenka play, then. Every single shot it sounds like she's taking an anal probe or giving birth. How the umpire/WTA doesn't warn her or tell her to tone it down, I don't know. It has to be distracting to her opponents.
Oh I watched Sabalenka the other day and she reminded me of how that triggers me. I think it all started with Sharapova. A total distraction that should be banned from tennis. Embarrassing that is hasn't been.
When she's 'on', Coco is very difficult to beat: big serve, very athletic. However, her forehand is inconsistent at best. She's capable of hitting 5 winners in a row and follow that up with 5 mishits in a row. She's plays with an unusual grip for the forehand and I think it adds to her inconsistency. It appears that she needs to have perfect timing and technique to hit it cleanly with her grip. Obviously, more times than not, she does. But, in big matches vs top players, she'll have several shots that look like I (a 3.5 USTA player) hit - frame, barely on the strings, 4 feet wide, etc.
Too early in the morning for me to watch, but the match stats looked outrageous. Djokovic had 54 unforced errors and didn't have a single break point chance against Sinner??? Wow. Who was that guy? Very un-Joker like.
