Sloane is not doing well....karma is a female dog

She's not playing well. No amount of good coaches or endorsements will change that. She has to go back to square 1 and find a love of the game again before anything else.

she needs a hitting partner thats all....just play by instinct and all that negativity she spewed is wearing heavy on her.She has to humble herself and go and apologize sincerely to all people she badmouthed on tour...then she will be fine.Oudin was badmouthing the sisters to anyone who could listen and look at her now.....now she even congrats Serena .Sloane has all the physical gifts to be successful but her weakness is between the ears...

Masha cannot lose this.

One would hope not, but I can see challengers that could make the match interesting (Puig, Garcia and Lucic-Baroni).

You missed the most significant one: Bacsinzsky, Masha lost to her in Wuhan last year.

You're correct, I did miss that one. Hmm, let's see if that match comes to pass.

 

[tossip]

Sloane should go to challengers to learn how to win ugly...tehehe

[kskate2]

With a win of this tournament, Sharapova can move into first place of the Race to Singapore.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Is Timea ranked higher than Belinda in the swiss hierarchy?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Is Timea ranked higher than Belinda in the swiss hierarchy?

Bencic ranked 36. Timea ranked 37.

That was lot closer than I expected. So, who will Fed play mixed doubles with in Olympics 2016?
Timea, Belinda or Martina?

 

[10isfan]

I think Fed picks Martina. She has the most experience and highest tennis IQ.

Timea will be ranked higher on Monday. Probably 33. Bencic will be 37.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I read that Sharapova has some type of virus? should be fine for her match though

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just read on Twitter....Sharapova has withdrawn due to a stomach virus,meaning that Caroline Garcia gets a walkover to the final.
