125 WTA

[125Guy]

I mean I do literally call myself the 125 guy!! But this week is going to be a great week for 125's. For now I'll keep the 125's together. But I think the girls in these tournaments deserve a big more of a spotlight! This week we have 3 125's: St Malo in France, La Bisbal in Spain, and Huzhou in China. I'll post more about them individually as much as time allows.

Ok it is now Tuesday and things are finally getting up and ready. Here is the state of play of St Malo

1st Round

(1) Tereza Valentova def Sloane Stephens 6-4 6-1
Claire Liu def Alice Rame 2-6, 6-1, 6-3
(Q) Amandine Monnot def Alina Korneeva 6-2 6-3
(6) Lilli Tagger def Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajonah 6-0 6-4
(3) Elsa Jacquemot vs Bianca Andreescu
Yue Yuan def Lulu Sun 4-6 6-3 6-4
Yaroslava Bartashevich (LL) vs Celine Naef
Julie Belgraver (Q) vs (5) Anna Blinkova
Diane Parry (8/WC) vs Yasmine Kabbaj
Jessika Ponchet vs Fiona Ferro
Chloe Paquet (WC) vs Whitney Osuigwe
(4) Victorija Golubic def (WC) Clara Burel 6-3 6-2
(7) Moyuka Uchijima def Ksneia Efermova 6-4 3-6 6-4
Lucie Nguyen Tan vs Alice Tubello
Sofia Costoulas def (Q) Ayla Asku 7-5 7-6 (4)
(2) Talia Gibson vs Leolia Jeanjean

Second Round

(1) Valentova vs Liu
(6) Tagger vs (Q) Monnot
Yuan vs (3) Jacquemot/Andreescu
Bartashevich (LL) /Naef vs (5) Blinkova/ (Q) Belgraver
(8/WC) Parry/ Kabbaj vs Ponchet/Ferro
(4) Golubic vs Paquet (WC)/Osuigwe
(7) Uchijima vs Tan/Tubello
Costoulas vs (2) Gibson/Jeanjean

By far the biggest surprise is Korneeva losing like that. I expected way more out of her. I am a big Tereza fan so I'll say humbly of course I like her chances but there is a lot of tough girls here and both Tagger and Golubic look highly dangerous!

Are these real tennis matches or are these hypothetical/simulated?

They are very real lol . I'm waiting for everything to get done today so I can get all 3 125's set up and analyzed. That was a lot of typing lol
