test

can't believe they locked you out for Anett's home tournament.

had to delete all cookies/cache and then it let me post again

Carlos SP in a whole would of trouble here.

Gone!

cool, my 15 year flag, lil sister Andreeva just took a set from Potapova.

Nearly Emma time. Interesting match up.

Of course we've come into the part of the season when she started getting bashed up by everyone last year (eg by Kostyuk in Transylvania). She could lay some ghosts to rest with the rankings expectation off her back. We shall see.

Can Linda F find a way to turn this around against late bloomer Martic.
Can barely hold her own serve atm but she has pulled off a few Lazarus acts.

Is Bencic buying money v Genie ?

The Olympic champion wasn't smiling much in the first and third sets.
Even though she won that epic in the end... Genie is back!

why is Muchova fave against BHM?

karma for all the head pointing

Anett retired with back injury costing me big wettquotens, but it's ok. She doesn't retire if it's not legit.

Anett

A baby Rafa was born today.

market loving EA against Iga here.

MARCA reports that Rafael Nadal Perrelló, Nadal’s first son, born today.

woah, didn't think Rafa was vain enough to give his child the same name as himself.

has Iga's coached changed clothes since the US Open win, still wearing the same shirt.

I'm making the call now, Rafa's son will grow up to play for Real Madrid rather than be a tennis player.

Leylah in action tomorrow (finally!)  I'm glad she got a MD wild card. I'm sad she needed one.

I've seen some criticism of her taking some 'me'-time since the US Open. Don't agree at all and as a long time watcher I trust her to make the right decisions from a recovery and mental pov.

On the subject of Canadians, will be interesting to see Genie against Kalinina now that she's back back

Prime should consider including key qualies matches for tournaments they're covering.

Montgomery v Pera to get into the MD of a 500 seems a significant match to me.
