Sabalenka is only into married older men. So Badosa would need a sex change, a birth certificate update and a marriage to appeal as a lover for the Belarussian.

they would need to be at least on Katie/Alex level so can't be Tara Moore and Conny Perrin type couple.

Swede Kajsa Rinaldo Persson won the W35 title at Boca Raton earlier today btw.

didn't think so. that was very strange. they had broken up, and she has never mentioned his passing. makes me think Aryna is quite hard under the surface when you take away that giddyness she portrays in interviews

Felix used voodoo on himself

TBOTAJ on back to back nights to determine the Madrid champions?

Pfffffffffffft

At the end of the year (after the Japanese tournaments probably).

Jess withdrew from Rome iydk

maybe Madrid took alot out of Iga mentally? but agree gotta make her favourite going into it

Ambrosio should easily be the best player among those. She has a decent peak with decent serve and forehand (for ITF) and likes to finish points, but consistency is an issue, which limits her ability to improve in the rankings. Used to represent Germany. Had quite a bit of knee trouble last year, which limited movement and serve. Think last time I watched her she had overcome them. Normally I'd say, Golubic's crafty game can move and bedazzle inconsistent Ambrosio, but who knows what kind of shape Golubic will be in. She's been out for a number of months.

Feel like I have watched most of the other women one time or another and feel they are all run off the mill underpowered lower level ITF clay player. The type that will rally with you, then rally some more with you while lacking any serving, ability to hit winners without going for total broke (ending in errors more often than not) and often a backhand that isn't a moonball or a one handed mess of a slice. I have seen too much to subscribe to the idea of free money, but I think they are probably all almost-no-hopers. The odds all reflect that though.

Siegemund obviously has a rather short turnaround from Madrid doubles, but Ricci doesn't have a backhand....like at all.

Male Ruggeri is a tall dude that is always looking to be aggressive instead of playing long rallies, probably partly because he is not one of the Sinner/Zverev/Medvedev tall super movers, but rather like the tall subpar movers of the past/lower levels. You know, the type of player that will cause trouble for either his opponent or for himself, depending on whether his rather offensive approach finds him winners or errors on the given day.

Maestrelli I watched beat Munar last year. Lanky dude, more eager to go into rallies with you than Ruggeri is, but will and can go for the winner if the opportunity presents itself. Tame first serve from what I remember.

Oradini is just a very average clay rallier. Will rally all day with you, but lacks power or anything that sets him apart. Leftie.

Passaro is quite good. Nothing that outstanding in his game either, but good at everything. Can definitely hit winners. Watched him be somewhat mentally unstable a few weeks ago though.

Picchione....don't remember ever having seen him.

ITF action on Mondays is often very limited. Most of the stuff is qualies and main draws are usually not published at this time. From a quick look, only Trnava and Sopo (very high altitude) will play a few main draw matches tomorrow.
