Wonder, though, how many of these will actually show up, rather than stay back in Paris and watch the rest of the Games...

Or take a vacation before Cincy and the US Open. Anyone who gets to a medal round in Paris will have a tough time playing their R1 in Montreal a few days later. Depends on who and how much they need the points and money.

I was thinking Roger and Mirka have shown us that hanging about at the Olympics is a great way to meet someone...maybe another reason to stay back in Paris!! It is a romantic city, after all, isn't it?

I think your information is the latest JTC. It seems she wants WC's into the MD or she's not showing (for whatever reason)

Mboko's playing in Europe - won an ITF event this weekend, and playing in Zagreb in two weeks.

A former champion deserves respect ?

Rybakina out.

From the Kazakh Tennis Federation

5. Elena has entered the tournament in Toronto, which will start on August 6. Does she plan to participate in it?

— For tournaments of such a level as Toronto, all top tennis players are automatically registered several months before the tournament, as it is a requirement of the WTA.

Unfortunately, Elena will not be able to play in Toronto for health reasons, as she has not fully recovered from her illness and has not even been on the court yet. Her team is currently preparing medical documents to formalize her withdrawal from the Toronto
tournament.

There goes one THRtNY choice for nothing.
I give up on her. Love her, but it seems to me she is always injured or sick. And this has been going on now for some time. She needs some top notch doctor to check what is really wrong with her.

I think something is/has been something going on in her personal life. My gut tells me some kind of abuse or outside pressure she can't escape. I say this with no proof, just a feeling.

She doesn't fit the pattern. As you say, there is no proof.
The examples we have had in the past always showed some pattern. Jim Pierce, Damir Dokic, or Lucic's father were deranged figures in the player's box. Elena's coach may be a bit intense too and sometimes his comments to her are a bit rough, but he does not strike me as an abuser.
That something may be ongoing with her personal life cannot be ruled out. But I would be very careful with that possibility because, nowadays, that is a major accusation. That needs a good deal of proof.

Something going on doesn't mean she's abused by someone. Lots of other things could be going on in someone's personal life.
