Rybarikova was not the same today. She played much better against truck driver in the QF.

Yes, seeing Venus play has given me pause as well. I am still having trouble writing off Muguruza, though. We might have an epic women's final after a long time.

Women's tennis. Rare one can hold their nerve enough to make it a tight 3 setter.

5 sets for semis onwards. It needs to happen. Yes, a 3 set beatdown is still better than a 2 set beatdown.

A 3 setter is not a beatdown, by definition, as the opponent still
won a set.

But really weird how Venus' game completely collapsed after the
first set....wow....

Yup only saw parts of the first set. Wasn't expecting Venus to collapse like this in the second. Congrats to Muguruza though. She won playing some stellar tennis throughout.

When Navratilova lost the 1988 Wimbledon final 7-5 2-6 1-6 to Graf after leading 7-5 2-0 she herself called that a beatdown.

I said a BO5 is necessary for women in slams from semis onwards, and that I'd rather watch a 3 set beatdown (where the player needs to be on fire for more than 1 hour) than a 2 set beatdown.

Again, if both players win at least one set, that's not a beatdown
in my book.

Even a straight sets win can be very competitive. But a 6-2, 6-2
is a beatdown, and especially a double breadstick or double bagel.

He's suggesting they play bo5, in which case a 3 set beatdown is
something like 61 62 60.
