I think a lot of it has to do with the calendar. There shouldn't have to be quite as much thought put into how to maximize the calendar which evolves according to a W/L record for each tournament, add this one, drop that one as the season marches on.

She can't do that. Her ranking is not high enough for her to decide where to play. She plays where she can.
And, as much as one can praise her, she is not a player that can claim fatigue. She regularly loses by Wednesday, so she usually plays 1-2 matches per week.

This Friedsam vs Andreeva match is now into it's 4th hour (3h6m) and I wish I could say it was riveting tennis.

I'll take your word for it, but with that score, it looks like it was a scorcher.

Both players were exhausted looking and it looked like Friedsam was ready to get off the court and inside after the on court interview.

Cocciaretto beat Tatjana Maria in 2 tiebreak sets.
Tatjana was ahead in both sets - but she rather routinely lacks the stamina to play well consistently at this level. And the stamina isn't likely to get any better in the future at 35 years old with 2 young children...

Katie Volynets was down 0-5 ad-out in the third set of her match against third seeded Potapova, and proceeded to win 27 out of the next 32 points to win it 7-5.

Nice to see Athleta being a sponsor. Are they only willing to sponsor stuff in Texas? I think they made a sponsorship appearance in Fort Worth too. It's nice to see, but I hope this isn't limited to Texas. They should be doing better in general with WTA players and/or tournaments.

Do you know if her or Stearns is projected to be the better player eventually?
