Talk About Tennis 2.0

Parks has the 'big game'..possibly the fastest serve in the game plus great athletic skills..whether she wins or not, I enjoy watching her.All the folks who like Keys should like Parks too..

This does begs the question- why aren't Hsieh and Strycova playing the US Open together?

You're not the only one asking that question.

Wasn't Strycova retiring after Wimbledon?

Didn't she just come back? Retiring again already?

she even played a tournament after where she was beaten by Raina, so no, I think she has announced it is her last Wimbledon, that is all

Maybe Hsieh and Strycova are playing with fellow countrywomen to practice or qualify for the Olympics. Hsieh's partner is Chinese, not Taiwanese. Not sure if China and Taiwan have separate Olympic teams? I hope we see Hsieh and Strycova reunite. Love them.

They are separate .. I think it may be more a case of styles - Strycova is anyway retring and Hsieh needs a powerful partner..
meanwhile, I am a wee bit disappointed Townsend has gone back to playing with Leylah.. Parks suits her better, actually I wish she was playing with Venus!

But they were very successful together and came back together. You wish Taylor was playing with Venus?

I agree these seem like Olympic pairings. If I remember from Rio, there is a minimum amount of tournaments you had to play together in order to qualify.

yes, Venus would be just right for her, and Venus anyway should be playing doubles to extend her own career..

No, the only requirements are to participate, or be available to participate in Davis Cup/Billie Jean King Cup, and even then there are plenty of exemptions. Qualifications are based on rankings. Doubles players ranked in the top 10 as June 10, 2024 (first ranking after the French Open) are guaranteed entry, and everyone else will be based on combined ranking of the partners using the highest of singles/doubles ranking.

The draw will tell, as Suliso says, but Parks can be gone in 1R even against another unseeded player.

She looked pretty junior playing against Sloane Stephens
