Paula Badosa has withdrawn from Charleston due to injury.

Such a sad situation.

She’s worked so hard to overcome injury and get back to where she belongs.

Hopefully she can put these injury struggles behind her.

[ponchi101]

She is an injury machine. Which is strange, seeing how fit she is when on court.

[JTContinental]

It’s her back again. I think she’ll struggle with that long term.

Tennis Channel almost televised back-to-back double bagels today. First, Volynets lost 13 total points to Sebov, a Canadian qualifier who had won both of her qualifying matches in straight sets but looked like one of the worst players I've ever seen. Then Kudermetova was up 6-0, 3-0, 0-40 on American wild card Mateas before Mateas came back to hold (and also broke down 5-1).

They treat Charleston as if it a 1,000-level event, but the field definitely is 500 level.

[JTContinental]

I think it's treated like that because it is the oldest WTA tournament in the US, but it seems like more of a novelty these days because of the green courts than anything else.

The 14 highest seeded players made the 3rd round. Should make for some good matchups the rest of the way after mostly one-sided matches to this point.

[ashkor87]

Impressed with Alexandrova...looking like a clay court player, which she is not...

[Owendonovan]

I think it's treated like that because it is the oldest WTA tournament in the US, but it seems like more of a novelty these days because of the green courts than anything else.

Alas, a red clay court tournament in the US would be a novelty as well.
