by ashkor87 unfortunately, there are now only two kinds of players in the WTA - those who have qualified for the YEC and therefore don't care, and those who have no chance of quaifying, and threfore dont care.. wish they had a slot for late surge players!

There are some players who want to improve their ranking so they can get direct admittance to higher level tournaments or get seeded at the Australian Open.
by ashkor87 It is certainly an opportunity for them to seize, given that the big players are not going to exert themselves...

by ashkor87 saw a bit of Krejcikova vs Kasatkina.. Krejcikova is simply a higher class player.. on this court, she gets time to wind up and hit her shots..finals agains QZ should be interesting.. I would expect Krejcikova to win, though..
by ashkor87 Well, didn't happen. .second tournament win for QZ....

I'll try to find out what song she was singing. Somehow I don't think it was "to Wim Fissette with love"
