US Open is getting closer and Caroline Wozniacki is back in action after 3.5 years away from the tour.

That's how I learned. I caught up on clips posted on the WTA's X account.
Just noticed now that Rus is playing Maspalomas Gran Canaria this week 
I know the new ranking hasn't kicked in yet.

Rus is just being respectful to the tournament where she has been very successful in the past (won three of the last four editions, then W60s though)
She wasn't even the highest ranked player at the entry deadline of the tournament. That honour belongs to Grabher.

No wonder Pegula was having back problems a month or so ago if this is what Gauff does.

Shuai Zhang "bettered" Mladenovic's record regarding most consecutive losses yesterday when she lost to Blinkova. The record is now at 16.
she should have won 6-0, 6-1 last night. Blink and its ova.
thinking Woz is big again tonight at 4.6 against Marketa. Not like Marketa is the most consistent player.
Momma Woz seems more likeable. But let's wait til things go against her til we give a final verdict.
7 points in a row for Beatriz after Leylah had MP !!
Haven't seen much of Leylah lately, but this might be the best she has played since getting injured at Roland Garros.
Let's hope Andy doesn't mess up this opportunity. It's Max Purcell ffs.

Errani currently plays Oliynykova today. For some context on that match: Oliynykova became known as a "tennis refugee" some years ago and wrote a blog about her struggles. Eventually, one day a blog entry contained
"We would like to say “Thank you!” to Sara Errani, a great WTA player & human with a big heart. Sara is the only WTA/ATP player who provided a material support for Sashka.
Sashka is currently playing with rackets & strings provided by Sara Errani, weared in t-shirts & training suits sent by Sara. That’s a valuable support for the family… but the more important, it is an incredible impulse for Sashka, who is endorsed by a highest-grade pro!"

Good thing there's video as otherwise people wouldn't believe Burruchaga and Casanova lost a match tiebreak from 9-0 up yesterday.

"Det är halt" says Mo to Casper. Rain delay coming in Toronto.
People from the big nations always expect people from smaller neighbouring nations to speak their language - so arrogant.
Carlos broken immediately - Herbert goes 3-0 up in a flash of the eye !!!
Carlos 3.5 but fights back like a king of any court !!

5-1 to 5-5 !!!
in street clothes. Withdrawing. Ab injury.
Petra close to tapping, but being saved by rain for now.
hobbling on. Got semi screwed over by a bad call as well. Just threw her racquet in frustration, which is unusual from her.
Completed the match. Did a nice hug with Belinda at the net 
For context. Both had injuries mid-match (Belinda ankle, Petra hip), and both were super nice to each other as they happened.
Is that long haired bearded guy with the pink fur thing at the Iga - Collins match a pimp?
I just learned on a Swedish message board that The Sun did a very lewd headline involving Swedes back in the 80's.
Annette Olsen had been dating Mats Wilander for some time. Then they broke up and Annette started to date another Swedish ace, Stefan Edberg. Upon hearing about this The Sun published a picture of Annette and Stefan with the headline "New balls, Annette".

Is Carlos past it and will never win another Slam?
Looks that way ! Should play mixed with Radacanu !
Seen him play the occasional bad match before and then bounce back to his normal self, but he hasn't been convincing at any time this week.
he has been there for the picking that's for sure. wouldn't want to be on him 2.4 for the US that's for sure !

Reading Cornet was not at her most pleased ever when Siegemund chose to retire two points from defeat in Cincy Q today.

WTA players pick their WTA hockey starting line-up for hockey
Can't believe both Leylah and Coco went with the strategy of putting the fatty in goal.

I saw a Robert Shelton last night in the men's UTR and wondered if he was Ben's brother, but doesn't seem to be related. Either way it's unfortunate naming. If you enter his name the first result is about a former Grant Wizard for the KKK.
Leylah even called Townsend a wall. 
So much for their friendship and doubles partnership.

Disappointed in the canadians not joining Pegula in making sensible decisions.

I know.
Pegula for sure the one with the most thoughtful answer, although I don't know about putting a Brazilian in goal. Have they ever seen ice? For that reason I also question the decisions to have Paula, Ons, Beatriz and Sakkari on any hockey team for that same reason.
only WTA hockey clip I can find (from 5 years ago)

Also, if Leylah was playing in the Flag comp here, I have a feeling edy would be able to sell her lots of bad flags.
The Czechs pretty much all have experience I think. Bencic (slovak!) is a bit of an omission as she has been seen playing hockey as well.
Ludmila screwed over by rain and scheduling though.
WOAH, DJ playing Cotton Eye Joe like I advised them to on Twitter 
That was a beat down, wise will be buzzing to see his Jess champion of the week !
Clara Tauson not the only player who has the hots for Rune:

I am at the Cincinnati tournament today and have just finished talking to Gayle, a lovely lady that has been working at the event as a volunteer for 20 plus years.
She said that the tournament has only a 10% chance of staying in Cincinnati. The city of Charlotte is investing 270 million dollars to move the tournament to their new facility, which will be ready between 2025 and 2026. The facility will include a center court with 15,000 seats and 40 courts equally split between tennis and pickleball. Rumor is that the W&S Open would like to become the first combined pro tennis & pro pickleball event in history.

don't tell me I have to suffer a delayed tennis final because the pickleball final went long
Other than that Charleston seems a lovely place. Any idea what happens with their green clay event if they get 1000 event?

I don't think geography was a consideration when making selections here

those two cities very easy to mix up. Both starting with the same three letters, both in the Carolinas.
