Totally agreed on the WTA being more interesting to watch! It feels like anyone could win at any tournament. And watching Mboko win was just incredible.
Tennis is blossoming with a new gen! 'So, after Mboko beat Coco we said, ‘Wow’. When she defeated Rybakina after getting down a set early we said, “My goodness.” When Osaka was boss during the first set, Mboko shot herself in the foot one double fault after another. Undeterred, the water off Mboko’s back were the tears Osaka couldn’t hold in. The tides turned. The waves broke, one service game after another. When Osaka was brilliant, Mboko was resilient. Osaka seemed to be remembering how to fail just as Mboko was figuring out how to win.' https://sometimesitrains.substack.com/p/mboko-speak-out-my-name
