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.

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

No one said Alexandrova is bad - she's in the top 30 in the world - but she's never had a really significant result at any of the bigger tournaments. This win fits the pattern of winning smaller events, and we all know how you feel about lead up tournaments and their predictive value when it comes to majors.

Ashkor, I will assume you are joking here, but, to be clear, nobody here has made fun of you. We have had a conversation about Alexandrova, in which you have repeatedly backed her up (and you have the complete right to have your favorites) and all we have said is what Skating says above: she is a good player, top 30 and a lot of other accomplishments, but we have a different view of her quality. That's all.
Remember. If you claim she is now a great player, because she won one tournament, then somebody with a more belligerent attitude could, the next time she losses early in any given tournament, turn that table on you and call her an awful player. I would appreciate a more balanced perspective.
And, here I am making fun: if you are so high on her, why didn't you pick her for your Green Acres team? Hey, you chose Giorgi over Alexandrova! If you own the horse, might as well ride it, right?

by ashkor87 Fair points, I don't say she is great, just very good..
I haven't picked any Russian players for greeenacres bcos there is still a chance they won't get uk visas!
Btw she has just done what you consider difficult .winning a tournament back to back,!
Last year she thrashed Sabalenka 6-0 in the second set .it takes more than a just a good player to do that

how now, friends? Am I an idiot for saying Alexandrova is good? a lot of people here made fun of me !
Ashkor, I will assume you are joking here, but, to be clear, nobody here has made fun of you. We have had a conversation about Alexandrova, in which you have repeatedly backed her up (and you have the complete right to have your favorites) and all we have said is what Skating says above: she is a good player, top 30 and a lot of other accomplishments, but we have a different view of her quality. That's all.
Remember. If you claim she is now a great player, because she won one tournament, then somebody with a more belligerent attitude could, the next time she losses early in any given tournament, turn that table on you and call her an awful player. I would appreciate a more balanced perspective.
And, here I am making fun: if you are so high on her, why didn't you pick her for your Green Acres team? Hey, you chose Giorgi over Alexandrova! If you own the horse, might as well ride it, right?
I can point out specific posts but I have decided not to escalate it.
by Fastbackss Griekspoor had plenty of chances to roll over, especially when he broke to serve for 2nd set and instead got broken.
Good resolve out of him down the stretch
