ATP WTA 250 'S-Hertogenbosch 6/12 - 6/18 2023

Riske is a true grass court specialist...won't be surprised if she knocks off Kudermetova...

Yes. I picked Veronica for my Green Acres team, but this gives me some thoughts. But it seems there are other options, so I will recheck.

Bencic pulled out?

Yes. She was a late withdrawal it seems. I posted what I thought was the final iteration of the WTA Entry List but as usual with the WTA you never know.

It doesn't matter now but this is the final version of the WTA Entry List

Riske has yet to win a match this year, and her grass court pedigree is greatly overexaggerated

[skatingfan]

Riske has yet to win a match this year, and her grass court pedigree is greatly overexaggerated

Really?

Hard 118-131 40%
Clay 18-39 32%
Grass 52-32 62%
Total 188-202 48%

It looks like she's been injured because she's missed most of the big events this season, and this was only her 6th tournament.

[JTContinental]

Yes, it's her best surface, but she only has 1 grass title and 1 Wimbledon QF

[JTContinental]

Doing a little digging, I’m seeing her father died in March and was ill for some time beforehand, so tennis probably not foremost on her mind

[Fastbackss]

One set down one more to go for Venus

Oops.

Clearly this post had been made by suliso and not me.

She was up a break in the 2nd, gave it back and lost it in a TB. Naef now serving for match
