Madison Kiss can win his first Grand Slam title and Arena Sabalenker Thripit may stop

Melbourne, Australia – Madison Kesz, who will play with the two -time defending champion, Arina Sabletka for the title at the Australian Open, is not Madison Key who was runner -up in the US Open in 2017, once the American once participated in a Grand Slam final.

His racket is different, for one thing, a switch has been created before this season to protect its right shoulder and provide more controlled energy. Her trainee is also different, as of 2023: her husband, Bajorn Frengelo. And his mentality is different, what did Iga Suitake explained in the semifinals in Melbourne Park.

At the age of 22, Arthur Ashe stadium, with his close friend Sloven Stephens, helped to make a way to contact the subject while the rod lava was laid on a 6-3, 6-0 loser with a trophy at the trophy. Sabletka will face another big title.

After the final of that US Open, where he made 30 unforcesed mistakes, the key “could not handle the occasion” acknowledges “and his performance is” down the nerve “

Experience stuck with him.

“I have clearly thought about that match for the last eight years,” what he said. “During that match, I was so swallowed up in the nervous and moments and opportunities and all these things that I didn’t really give myself a chance to play myself.”

It took him a little time to understand that the problem was not so worried itself. They are normal. Everyone feels them.

Instead, he has to learn not to think about them and move away.

“I have done a lot to get rid of the nerves, because in the past, in my head, it was always, ‘Those who played amazing at the difficult moments, they are not nerves or think how they get rid of them,” “explaining what.

“The biggest thing for me is to know that there are many moments coming to which I feel uncomfortable in the match. It’s going to be stressed. Thousands of people are watching you. You may not be playing your best tennis, “he said. “But instead of trying to get away from it and to find out for a resolution or ease or anything, it is okay that it is the situation – and you can play tennis through it – something that I’m really working hard.”

And so Melbourne was in the Kiss semifinals, not only in the third set crusibal against the Grand Slam champion of the former No. 1 and Swatke, but even one point in the defeat of 6-5, 40. 30.

The 19th Port Kiss then 8-7 back in the third set tiebreaker, two points from rates. He will not exclude another point on the way to finish the win of 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (10-8).

“In the end, Madison was brave with his decision,” said Swatek, who lost more games to the semifinals than 14 matches of his previous five matches.

Whatever the key to self-esteem can be present by the key, but effectively masked.

“This is probably one of the biggest education I can take from the US Open finals – just know that I am probably going to be 99% of the time in court,” what to say, “And that’s right.”

Frangelo, a former professional player, emphasized what he had to stick to his point-ending strikes.

In the fourth round of this Australian Open, Wimbledon winner Elena Ribakina, the winner of the 2022, went to the third set, reminded Franzo’s need to be aggressive.

His message?

“Don’t lose to passive because it’s not who you are. Let a counterpart be passive because they do it because they do,” he said. “You lose your foot on the gas pads, and it’s okay.”

It is also a perfect description of the style of the Sabileka. She has learned to control her stroke, and often mix in a slices or drop shot, remember, but huge server and groundstrokes with Grant are still its feature.

Such as his lack of contraction.

“What a really impressive his mentality – his ability to always go for it, no matter what score,” what to say.

According to the BetMGM Sportsbook, the 1-Ceded Sabletka, listed as the-325 Money Line Favorite, tried to imitate that aspect, as he tried to become the first woman after Martina Hingis won three consecutive Australian Open in 1997-99. Trophy

“He plays such fearless tennis. That way has the ability to play so well. This is very unique, “said Kes, the US Open semifinal two years ago in the 1-4 record of the career against Sabalaka. “A lot of people, whatever, though it was a tight point, you expect them to be a little more conservative or a little back, and you know he is not going to do it.”
