Hard is Fun(@AlpineHills10S):In some ways, the true test for Iga to go far in the next 2 tournaments is surviving mid-tournament matches. Let's look at some of the players she has lost to this year: Sakkari, Eala, Navarro, Linette(!) Mid-tournament she's going to run into one of these players or someone similar. It seems like she panics a little and doesn't find solutions when she has been down to these players this year. So maybe the true test if she's really "back" is finding a way through these matches again. That's why it's so hard to say with confidence that she will go deep in Cincinnati and the USO. We just don't know
