Mannarino & Quetin Halys withdrew from the doubles, so maybe he cares a little bit about what happens next.

I always wonder in that situation if there is some sort of financial agreement between the partners

I would think not- after all, it can happen to either player, so it would even out?

Eh, in gauff-pegula? Maybe.

But in this instance more likely that one player (mannarino) would go far

I think what ashkor meant was that it would balance out as to sometimes they might withdraw because of one player, or the other over the course of a season.

Noskova vs Yastremska happening now. Can't decide who has a better future. Yastremska has great power, but she always did. She had more winners and ufes than anyone in the wta year after year,I hear .Noskova has a more subtle game, more like a typical Czech, and she is younger..hmmm

Combination of Y''s power and the court's speed a bit too much for Noskova thus far . Seems to be late on many shots...probably would do better at the USO.. of course, when Yastremska is not missing, she could overwhelm anyone, I suppose

What score did you expect she would beat Pliskova by? 2 &3? That was not going to happen.
You are tough, sometimes.
Tough, am I? :lol:
