Sara Hughes needs to watch lots of video of how Misty May used to play. The rest will come. If I had to guess, she already has. The reality is that Hughes isn’t going to reach May level with Ross. Hughes will never come close to Misty. There is no chance, zero, none. Its made up nonsense. Ross/Sweat first 5 events - 4, 2, 5, 17, 25 Ross/Hughes first 5 - 5, 5, 17, 9, 17 Thats right, Sara is not yet even an upgrade over Brooke Sweat (and no partner who ever dumps Brooke fluorishes) So lets put the brakes on Hughes is May 2.0 until she accomplishes something. But Hughes is so young. BS. By the time Duda was Hughes age she had already....Oh wait, she hadn't done anything because she is 4 years younger.

Let’s see how things roll out in Espinho next week. Some European teams are opting to skip that event so it’ll be mostly Brazilians with the Americans. Which btw, ATeam shouldn’t really have skipped Espinho for San Fran.

I agree...Total fake news...However, this next tourney they should get on the podium. So many good teams skipping...

In addition, Laboureur/Sude, Bieneck/Schneider and Borger/Kozuch are not going as well. This field looks pretty deflated at this point.

Now Brandie and Heather just have to win against SP and MHP the next time they meet.
They won the first time back in Toronto Finals 2016 but then lost the next four meet ups against them.

An update on the rankings:
MHP and SP now share the #1 spot with Sude and Labodeur. Heather and Brandie are now #4.
NB and KWJ are now the highest ranked American team, sitting at #26, followed by Summer/Sara at #31, ATeam at #33, and Kelly/Brit at #50.

That said, I don’t think any American teams can play in Hamburg finals... unless they get the wildcard.

So does this mean Brooke is better? 🤔 Sweat/summer first 11 events - 8 top 5 finishes with 4 semi finals with Brooke having a torn rotator cuff.

If Brooke was 3 inches taller she’s a top 5 defender in the world. That said I would love to see her with Larsen. I think her experience with Larsen’s athleticism and youth would be awesome.

Brooke is/was a top 5 defender in the world. Her issue has been siding out, transition kills. If she did that as a top 5 player, she'd be Misty May.

Her defense is elite and if her siding out was even just above average she would be one of the most desired players that doesn’t block in the world. By top 5 defender I mean top 5 player that would play alongside a blocker.

Doesn't look good for any of the Americans, but at least now MBO should have a full field (except Dalcena on the men's side).
