[Suliso]

Much tougher draw for Iga this time.

[Sinner Fan]

Tough match for Jasmine Paolini in first round against American Madison Keys losing 1-6, 1-6.

Also Italian Martina Trevisan did not do much better against Petra Kvitova losing 2-6, 1-6.

[ponchi101]

Much tougher draw for Iga this time.

Indeed. Let's see how she fares against Sakkari and Rybakina (if they make it that far).
And, of course, we should hope we get a final between her and Aryna. See how they currently measure up.

[ponchi101]

Tough match for Jasmine Paolini in first round against American Madison Keys losing 1-6, 1-6.

Also Italian Martina Trevisan did not do much better against Petra Kvitova losing 2-6, 1-6.

Italy right now has to be happy with the ATP crop. On the WTA, you have to wait a little for somebody else to rise up.

[ponchi101]

Collins losing easily to Fruhvirtova. I say a bit unexpected, but Danielle is going through a little slump.
She may still be dizzy from that match against Iga.

[Sinner Fan]

Tough match for Jasmine Paolini in first round against American Madison Keys losing 1-6, 1-6.

Also Italian Martina Trevisan did not do much better against Petra Kvitova losing 2-6, 1-6.

Italy right now has to be happy with the ATP crop. On the WTA, you have to wait a little for somebody else to rise up.

With Italian men like Sinner, Musetti, and Berrettini all in top 10 they doing real good. Martina Trevisan is top WTA Italian player right now and she can put some good game together, So can Jasmine. Just not against to players.

Well... Sinner, Musetti, and Berrettini are all in the top 30, at least...

Trevisan hasn't done anything notable in a while, and she's regularly losing convincingly these days.
I think Giorgi is the better Italian hope on the women's side, though she's over 30 years old now. (Trevisan is just about 30, as well.)

[JTContinental]

Collins losing easily to Fruhvirtova. I say a bit unexpected, but Danielle is going through a little slump.
She may still be dizzy from that match against Iga.

Based on how she is getting creamed, it could also be a flare up of her chronic pain syndrome.

[ponchi101]

Had forgotten about that. Indeed.
