Talk About Tennis 2.0

She likely will. Someone much mathier than me on the WTA Live Ranking site figures out the the point total needed to lock down a spot each week--this week the qualifying cut line is 5350 points and Coco is currently sitting at 5304.

Winning that one match or the tournament?

I was thinking about her for biggest Loser, then was worried she may just wind up WD'ing before tournament starts.

I figured Raducanu would win the match vs Bucsa. She didn't make it past Pegula.

people are just tired after a long season, maybe.. Alcaraz has pulled out of Shanghai, after complaining about the schedule. This court is so unforgiving, you have to hit the ball a million times to get it past your opponent, Swiatek must have gotten frustrated..she is human, I guess.

I really would like to hear from the old guard, playing 20 tournaments a year, and flying in commercial airlines, about the length of the season.
And I do mean it. Not being sarcastic. I would love to hear what Vilas would say about the long season nowadays.

and the wta website (which just won an award!) talks about how Andreeva got past Kartal.. wonder which world they live in!

very impressed with Eva Lys.. great movement, footwork, balance.. I hear she has an automimmune condition she has to manage.. sad to hear.
Born in Ukraine, moved to Germany at age 2..

How many of those flights were domestic within the US? There used to be a lot more tournaments in the US, and players would go to Europe for a few months or less, and then back to the US.

Anisimova punches her ticket to her first YEC with her win over Paolini.
