Carlos - I expected more.

My sentiments exactly!!! Do you think Coco's problem is mental??? She seems to lose focus.

My sentiments exactly!!! Do you think Coco's problem is mental??? She seems to lose focus.

I was listening to radio AO earlier this week, one of the commentators stated that not only do you have to have the technical skills, but mental toughness is required to be a great champion.

I think she does not have the mental toughness at this stage in her career. The other problem I see is her inability to attack second serves and she cannot flatting out a return.

After Shelton blew serving for the first set, I knew it was over. He has holes in his game, but this one was mental.

The injury from playing Carlos came back to hurt him.

I agree with you!

I thought her interviews on court and off explained a lot.

I found myself pulling for Keys again. Maybe I'm getting soft.

Congratulations Sinner! Number 1 beat Number 2.

The big 4 era is over, looks like its the big two now, Carlos and Sinner. I do hope Zverev can break into the big two at some point.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Taylor Townsend of the United States returned to the court on which her career first took flight, teaming with Katerina Siniakova to beat Hsieh Su-Wei and Jelena Ostapenko 6-2, 6-7 (4), 6-3 in the women’s doubles final Sunday at the Australian Open.

“This is super-special to me,” Townsend said. “The last time I played on this court I was 15 and in 2012 I won the juniors here and that was the kick-start.

“Honestly, being here is so special to me because this tournament was the beginning of me being able to live out my dream.”

Top-seeded Townsend and Siniakova of the Czech Republic led 6-2, 5-3 and served for the match for the first time at 5-4 in the second set. But third-seeded Hsieh and Ostapenko rallied to take the second set in a tie-break and to hold an early break in the third.
