It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

 I hope Halep doesn't gently caress this up now.

 Double break. 5-0. Maybe she doesn’t have to serve for the win

I think you could probably ruin a player for life if you fired an airhorn during their backswing

Halep v Stephens is interesting. I imagine Halep might be a little desperate to finally win one, but her recent record in finals is obviously not so stellar whereas Sloane has never lost one, and has a really cool and steely demeanor on court as well. I feel like Halep will start strongly, maybe winning the first set, but I'm not sure she'll survive once things derail / her form drops a bit and Stephens starts to mount a comeback.

I like 'em both so win-win for me, at least. I hope it's good.

Yeah this is well put, I think Halep either doesn't let up and wins solidly in 2 or loses in 3 in agonizing fashion

At least the overall narrative was basically correct, just got the roles mixed up.

Completely forgot about Roland Garros this year, although looking at the results it didn't look like I missed much.
