Okay. Since I might be blind and biased, give me your best Zeljko match that shows off his physical gifts.
Join the dark side and get your revenge.
He's probably referring to that one time Zeljko took his shirt off
I'm not gonna pretend I'm unbiased here, Zeljko is Croatian, what would be the point?
I know you are biased. Hence my Nigerian example. But the thing is that I have never looked at Zeljko and gone wow, his physical gifts are amazing. Lots of good young players who didn't meet outsized expectations out there. Franziska is notorious in Germany for example and some look at him and go wow. And with Alexis, I am just talking about how he cracks the forehand, I struggle to think of many players who can hit the ball with that quality.
Um, Bernadette? She has at least three different serves from various positions to the FH/BH or in the middle of her opponent. All things I missed with Charlotte. Every serve is identical, half/long to the middle of Bernadette from the same position. Only two of her last four services were slightly different, but by then the match was already over. When you don't try anything with your service and you can clearly see that it's not helping, I think you need to get some tactical coaching from your coach or do some research yourself to find a key to turning the game around.
That was easy to predict. Bernadette can't play against equipment, that's been clear for a long time. But what I find most troubling is her relationship with her coach. It doesn't seem 100% to me. Did you see how she snatched her water bottle from her coach's hand and snapped at him during her match against Lunz? I also suspect that she doesn't want to learn how to play against material; she just doesn't seem interested. Time and again, she makes the most foolish shots. The learning process may be long, but if her character isn't up to it, I fear she won't get anywhere in the future when she comes up against material players.
Maybe be she is a little spoiled girl the way treating her coach. On the other hand, she may indeed need a coach, preferably a Chinses coach who usually is good at adapting her opponent with a particular style or equipment. I remember she had already been crushed by Sabine twice and somehow, she was crushed again. As one of top EU female players, she should be able adapt.
A player who has beaten Yang Xiaoxin and Han Ying and Xioana Shan is not complaining just about material. She also has issues with playing Sabine in general.
Hugo by and large only has one serve as well. Most of Bernie's serves were tomahawk into the forehand alt the variations didnt do much. My main point is that it is easy to read from the result to limitations of the player but I suspect even if Lutz had a different serve, the result would largely have been thr same as Bernie is the better player.
