Talk About Tennis 2.0

Muchova has withdrawn ...sigh ..

nice to see Vondrousova and Kenin resurfacing.. and, of course, Sabalenka, though I doubt she will do much until IW..

this court looks a bit faster than Doha.. early days yet, hard to tell. Krejcikova pulling out is sad, she has won here last time...

This will be Gauff's last full tournament as a teenager. She will turn 20 during Indian Wells.

Surprising loss for Alexandrova, to French...somewhat less so Andreeva losing to Stearns...

Siniakova slowly transforming into a good singles player! Steadily advancing, beating good players ..

Too many upsets today..BHM, Garcia, Mertens
....wonder if the rapid switch in conditions is too much for them? two high pressure 1000 level events? It is a bit odd...

Three players that are never upsets when they lose. It is not as if they are powerhouses.

Now Jabeur has pulled out..knee injury...

Looking forward to hearing about this ad nauseum and TC preempting a match to show birthday tweets from minor celebrities.
