Let's wait for Ashkor to explain that system.
And yes, they did that in the 80's. Beating Martina was worth 50 points, Chrissie 49, down the ranking. It didn't work well.

This is very good, right?
Yep. Pretty much a ticket to the SF's. Make everybody happy.

And why isn't Rennae Stubbs telling her to not do that?

Will be played in Ashe, at night, with 23,000 people cheering Serena. Samsonova is nowhere near ready for that.

Stunned. Kontaveit played one of her best matches of the year and still lost to someone who has played 6 matches this year.

Keep thinking about how Sampras won 20 years ago when no one thought he could. I know, he was still Top 20 and was only 28 or 29 years old. But he was on a 2-year title drought and no one gave him a chance.

Sharapova still hasn't put out a message for Serena. :) Sampras has.

I already hate this Oprah message. It's like the Aussie tourism-board commercial and those damn bush birds.

Thrilling. And couldn't have happened without Kontaveit showing up. But a performance for the ages from Serena.

Kontaveit was tearing the cover off that ball.

52 weeks ago weighted the least, last week's weighted the most..easy to implement with computers but hard to understand so transparency gets lost..

Tomljanovic? What stroke does Ajla have that can match any of Serena's? Ajla is a fine 40-50 ranked player. Nothing else.
Meanwhile, Krunic puts Krejcikova out of her misery. That elbow injury has not healed. Krejcikova has to take the rest of the year off.
