WTA YEC Cancun 10/29 - 11/5 2023

[Suliso]

It's sad how WTA has damaged this event via incompetence and penny pinching. Mexican organizers are at fault as well.

What would you call these weather conditions? Because we must agree that playing tennis in them may be difficult?
Ps. We are connecting with you on the occasion of our studio on Canal+ in just an hour, at 22:05.


Play is still suspended.

Also the WTA is annoyed with Polish media for keeping the focus on things like the above.

: "To jest nasza praca, żeby Państwu pokazywać to, co jest na miejscu. Co więcej - niektóre osoby z WTA już gdzieś tam zaczynają węszyć, że im się to nie podoba, że my właśnie mówimy prawdę. No trudno, taka jest nasza rola tutaj. Po to tutaj przyjechaliśmy, nie na wakacje".

: "It's our job to show you what's on the ground. What's more - some people from the WTA are already starting to snoop around, saying that they don't like it, that we're telling the truth. Well, that's too bad "This is our role here. That's why we came here, not for a holiday."

Yup, shoot the messenger! The way of incompetent despots.

Oh sweet - ladies doubles in 3rd set TB.

Go to put on and it's Pickleball. Ironically another Pickleball tourney is also on one of ESPN channels.

Of course they weren't expecting to be playing now but what a kick in the shins

[ashkor87]

Good call by Navratilova..she had predicted Pegula and Swiatek would make it...based on the windy conditions...

[ashkor87]

hate to disagree with Navratilova but she thinks Pegula is going to beat Swiatek.. I dont think so.. sure, Pegula's footwork and compact strokes will help her but she simply isnt in Swiatek's class as a player, accoridng to me. Maybe I am wrong, we will see.

[Fastbackss]

Both of them looked really good in their wins, dismantling their opponent.
Swiatek looked more impressive to me because she won a whole lot of points she had no business winning

[ti-amie]

Swiatek so far is setting the pace and tone of the match and she's up 4-1 over Pegula first set. Pegula will have to find a way to break Swiatek's rhythm or this is over.

[ti-amie]

Iga 6-1 in 27 minutes.

What a pitiful showing by Pegula. It's easy to say Iga dominated but if Pegula had not played like one of the tourists who wandered in from the hotel it might have been an interesting match.

What does it say that the last two GS winners barely made it past the RR stage?

Congratulations to Iga though. She was obviously on a mission.
