Albeit there's not much travel, but the conditions are pretty different in terms of court speed.

How about Errani? She wont be able to get directly into any meaningful MD after IW unless she goats in Acapulco - and that's all without any time away during the previous season.
she should have doped to play at a physical level she couldn't maintain then should she?

As is Kerber (though Kerber has amazing draw this week).
If she plays like last week she will have her hands full with Mona in R2

Vika doesn't care about Belarus. I checked her twitter during the tie against Dutchies, there was no mention of this tie.
Not true. There are mentions of the tie, they are in Russian though.

I wonder if there ever was a male tennis tournament winner from Georgia before. Gabashvili was born in Georgia but he's been competing under the Russian flag his whole career.
There was a female tennis star from Georgia in the past, Leila Meskhi. She was ranked #12 in 1991 and won 5 tournaments in her career, as well as bronze medal at the 1992 Olympics.

incidentally caramba - are you safe? heard about the awful attacks in Sweden....
harrison moves well and was invading the line judges' personal space in most rallies, all basi had to do was look to constantly move forward, instead, he just tried to hit it harder.
I'd say he was more like a sh1t "sh1t wawrinka" (pre 2012) trying to win every point from the back.
