Of course LAST week I had to be in Cleveland for work.

Not sure I can justify another trip to the state.

You left a half open tube of toothpaste in the hotel.
Anybody would understand that.

NOT A BIG TOURNAMENT BUT SOME GOOD PLAYERS HERE.. BHM is my favorite here..she ought to win.. court looks a bit slower than Cincy.. I am waiting for BHM to break through to the next level.. not sure what is stopping her? she seems to have everything, including the leftie advantage.. why hasnt she won a major yet? or even a big WTA 1000 event?

[ponchi101]

BHM is super inconsistent. That is her problem. Kind of like Samsonova. They can crush and hit some amazing shots, and them miss a sitter by three feet.

Samsonova. ..her problem is not inconsistency..other than on a slow surface, she doesn't return well and doesn't move well..her big serve and forehand win her a lot of matches but they aren't really inconsistent.
BHM is better than that..but hasn't won much.
