Barty needs to consummate her dominance on the tour and start collecting some slams. Wozniacki was dominant for a couple years and only has one slam to show for it, Barty will end up as just another good player if she does not start winning majors. Naomi plays part-time and has 4 slams already.

Women’s tennis is weird. There aren’t any ruthless consistent winners. I mean it’s there, it’s open someone could win 20 and dominate the sport for the next decade.
Every couple of slams there’s someone who is unbeatable who then goes onto do nothing.
Still waiting for the Next Gen to make their mark. I guess nothing will be changing in the next 2-3 years. Imagine if Fed comes back and is actually competitive against the younger players. Now wonder Andy Murray thinks he has a chance to make a comeback.

Murray skipping FO to concentrate on the grass, I feel for him.

Stupid camera angle missed the Rafa fall, they really need to fix the lines that twice now.
Federer is past it, especially on clay. But I don’t see anyone making sufficient inroads into the dominance of Nadal and Djokovic, but they’re about 5 years younger than Roger.
Coco Gauff into the WTA250 final in Parma and up to a career high #26 (#25 if she wins the final v Wang/Stephens). Coco needs to get above Madison Keys (#24) after the French Open to qualify for the Olympics. Keys is defending a 2019 QF (360 points) at Roland Garros while Coco is only defending a 2R (45 points), so the pressure is on Keys to limit how many points she loses, or to go deep again and hope that Coco bombs early.
Alcaraz wins his 4th challenger and breaks into the top 100, 2 weeks after turning 18. Holger Rune also just turned 18, which means there's no one under 18 in the atp top 500 now.
I learned a few things from doing the season long PEEHS. I've kept the wording of the questions shorter and simpler, and made a slight tweak to the scoring system. There will be 3 questions revealed after every round.
They're still working out the fall schedule with ATP/WTA.
