@australianopen stop putting the winners in the thumbnail. Is it that difficult to put both players? Or just don’t put at all

Beautiful Leylah 💪🏻. A very balanced tennis player without screams or tantrums.

i like watching LF's matches its always a Grind to win never easy.

[Peacehumankind]

I am so proud of Leylah for adding muscle and fixing her forehand! With these improvements she can be top 10!

I wish the US Open final that LF played had a different result. She works hard and is well surrounded by good, knowledgeable people.

Leylah just gets better and better. She can paint those corners now instead of just trying to keep the ball in court. Her drop shot, she looks like she is going to SMASH the ball then casually hits it over. She will fight till every last point. Mentally and physically fit. Stamina 100%, people who say she does not have power? Power does not amount to much if you do not have the skills or the mind set. Rewatch the match and watch all the great things she has done and added to her game. Her serve is fine. People always try to dissect all the little things but never realize the bigger things, Vamos!

I've subscribed and really appreciate these highlights. But, a few words of advice:

Most of the viewers are probably present or former competitive tennis players or serious fans.

What we want to know is how a match was won or lost. We don't need to see the longest points, or the flashiest/trick shots.

If you only have 3 or so minutes of highlights per match, then please just show the successful break points and the last four points of a tie-breaker (if any).

If there is a deciding-set tie breaker, then just show that in entirety and skip the previous content.

Surely you can program the A.I. app to do that. Thanks!

Not so good editing. Good win for Leylah.

[Petertrottierrealtor]

Is it just me or is Leylah like 10” shorter than her opponent?

[markthomas]

She's off balance..lucky win. she'll be knocked out next round...

[DeathFORcameO]

Is the horrible breakdancer from the recent olympics will represent Australia in AO?

[fanofmany]

Horrible highlights. They must be hiring summer students right now.
