Re: 2024 Around the World: Trades
I get the Pegula votes but I wonder if she is recovered from that neck injury ...and no match practice..I don't think she is the kind of high-talent player who can do without matches ..

Re: 2024 Around the World: Trades
But she is one of two Cat A players that will play this week so, what are you gong to do? Save Iga for... IW?
A forced trade, really.

You don't have to keep quiet. We are here to talk about tennis, remember?
And I know IW is not part of the series. That was the point. Those of us with trades available had very few options, and Jessie was one of them.

Re: 2024 Around the World: Trades
Thank you! My point is, Cat A haven't always done well, except Ryba and Iga. I fully expect this (weak) tournament to be won by a 'lesser' player ..which one,I don't know!

Re: 2024 Around the World: Trades
exactly the problem. let's look at the 1 seed for both tournaments. Pegula & Kalinina. well...I have more confidence in Pegula holding her spot more than Kalinina, but you never really know. The 2 seeds in the tournaments are Haddad Maia and Stephens. Again, a toss up on which you trust more. In theory, Stephens could turn things on and win...but will she? Especially in Austin, anyone could win.
In the end, I went with Pegula & Stephens (and a 3rd trade I added Collins).
But given the craziness of the WTA, I might earn 0 points as easily as I might earn 70 or 100.
