Looked at the forecast for Saint-Malo. Not liking the prospects of them completing the first round of qualification of the WTA125 there today.
|
|
By:
And the rain forecast for the entire week is mediocre at best for now.

Pavs 17 winners so far
Dasha K 0 |

By:
at the start of TB set 1.

Spaniards need to get a grip and not qualify then.
|

By:
comments suggest he can use PR!

Winners winners chicken dinners.

By:
isn't that what Marketa did to screw Muchova over?
|
|
By:
If he can use his protected ranking, then he is sure in. It's at 9.
|
|
By:
woah, set Dasha.
|
|
By:
Alize should have gotten injured/taken a hiatus when she had a good ranking and come back this year with the good PR to end her career at RG and the Olympics.

It's admirable that Sakatsume tries her luck at European clay this season instead of playing the asian hard court ITFs. Shows a willingness to improve and become a better player.
|
|
By:
Wiesbaden this week is only the second time she's playing European clay at the age of 22. Had previously played Roland Garros qualification. Also played Antalya three times in 2021 and the past two weeks in Hammamet on red clay outside of Europe.

They put Saint-Malo indoors.

look at Iga fly!

White women can jump!
....White men too, with poles at tools. |
|
By:
they need Iga?
|
|
By:
Yes, either airplane Iga to piggy back on, or those other poles that you use in pole vaulting.
|
|
By:
speaking of Iga, and other top WTA players. Let's say they do really well at the big clay lead up events and go deep in all of them, then they will have played in 5 of the 6 weeks leading up to RG with the only break being the week before. You could argue "oh well there's a day in between matches at these two week Masters events so not as physically demanding as before", but there's the mental demand of being in tournament mode.

doesn't like like Jess will finish top 10 this year, injured, ill, not playing all that well which might have to do with the former two.

That's a decent-ish point on the topic, wisewords.

Marketa was cast as such a villain for doing so, and now everybody is "Yay, Rafa can just use PR!"
|
|
By:
Yeah well, Rafa would only take the spot of some lame random Spaniard, likely Carballes Baena, who is all vindictive and petty.
Vondrousova took the spot from the woman who possibly made Rebel Wilson realise that true love is possible. |

I think you can go all out Stuttgart, skip Madrid or tank early, then try your hardest in Rome, rest a week and go into RG relatively fresh. But pretty much we agree.
|
|
By:
such a cool WTA day, with this Dash/Nastulya clash, followed by Mirra, followed by Jasmine's recent cool tennis, followed by Danielle!!
|
|
By:
yeah, when Muchova played guitar for Rebel she was all "ah true love really exists", whereas if she had done the same for ww, he would have been all "Meh".

TENNIS @Tennis
She's a juggler, a dog lover, and she's having her best-ever @WTA -level result as a pro. Meet 18-year-old Sara Bejlek, who'll be the next player tasked with cooling off the red-hot Elena Rybakina at the @MutuaMadridOpen. oh uh, is her career gonna be derailed by her love for dogs as was the case with Carina Witthöft? |
|
By:
poor Carina Witthoeft
 |
|
By:
Emma Navarro has gone from strength to strength while being a dog lover, even if she was a bit unlucky last night.

By:
that is true, but the older they get the more difficult it becomes to combine your devotion to dogs with being a professional tennis player.
|
|
By:
Look how enthusiastic that dog looks as she makes him hit his own face with his paw. He's loving her and the situation as much as she does.
