TBH I'm not going to look hard for an OoP for this.

BTW the WTA ran a poll on its site that asked the following:

Found a screen shot.



Clarification on the questions. Idjut.



Here are the four questions. I wanted a screen shot because otherwise the poll's existence is just hearsay.
How would you best describe the WTA Finals coming to Saudi Arabia for the first time?

- A historic milestone for women’s sports
- A thrilling opportunity to expand the game
- A unique chance to connect with new fans
- A landmark moment for tennis diversity

I’m just happy they have stopped naming the groups with increasingly bizarre flower varieties

There are not enough tennis greats to name the groups? You know, group BJK 1 and group BJK 2?

Not on the women's side. I vaguely recall a couple women back in the 70's and 80's played each other a lot, forgot their names though. Then there was that German woman with a terrible father, whats her name? I think, though not positive, there were a couple of sisters who were black who snuck into the tour for a couple years in the late 90's. I guess they're hard to remember because they didn't quite reach the levels of male players like Starace, Zeballo, Patience, and Tomic. 8-)

X is a-twitter with photos of Rybakina practicing with Sabalenka and training, so she’s clearly giving it a try.

It will be good for her. She will not win, but get an indication of how your injuries are healing.

So they're crowd-sourcing how to spin this?

I bet the organisers are like "damnit Jasmine, making it way more complicated for us by qualifying in both"

(And yes I know this happens virtually every year)
