boring schedule on Ashe...maybe Dustin Brown and Monfils will bring a little bit of fun on the outer courts.

What's the status on Taylor Townsend's game. I know fitness was one thing that was critical in her early years. It's time for her to have a break out "signature" win.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Here is a teenage girl to keep your eyes on.

Remember CiCi Bellis. Two years ago, she played at USO at the age of 15 years and 4 months and defeated Cibulkova in the first round. At that time, she entered USO as a wild card by winning the Girls 18 and under event.

This year she had come through the hard route of winning three qualifying matches as she is ranked at 158. I think she has a winnable match against Viki Golubic an unheralded Swiss player.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Intrestingly the two players with whom Sania played doubels won tourneys in the last two weeks, Barbora Strycova and Monica Niculescu, are pitted against each other on the opening day.

Townsend is kinda disappointing..does she have any sponsors to finance her career...eg like hiring a good coach and a good fitness trainer..this girl has a lot of talent and her game is better than Scone or Keys..

The Romanian slicer against the Czech whiner. Should be a barrel of fun. :lolz:

 

[Calvy]

I think it may time for Caroline to take an extended back from tennis to regroup, miss the game for a minute.

Just take 3 to 6 month sabbatical.

It's a shame that young woman Taylor is carry that much flesh..:nono..Lindsey Davenport was fleshy as a teenager but she was able to drop that weight..Taylor needs to correct this immediately ..I am a Man with two daughters and I know it's can be an emotional issue.. But when it's your job, it needs to be addressed. That's all as a Man I feel I can say because it isn't cool being critical of a woman's weight. Taylor isn't the only tennis or American tennis player who is too fleshy. I. guess because I know people that have known her since she was in middle school that I am commenting about Taylor. Today was a match she could have won.Damn shameful

What's the status on Taylor Townsend's game? I know fitness was one thing that was critical in her early years. It's time for her to have a break out "signature" win.

Townsend is kinda disappointing. Does she have any sponsors to finance her career...eg like hiring a good coach and a good fitness trainer? This girl has a lot of talent and her game is better than Sloane or Keys..

Agreed! She had a chance to break back against Caroline and blew it! I haven't seen Townsend in a while; seems she still hasn't done much in the way of conditioning! :cover :nono :eyepop - Very impressive draw with winners and finalist going down to the 7th seed! I like the top 4; 3 separate major winners of the season with #1 ranking on the line! Been ages since something like that's been in doubt; esp. with the ladies! :clap

Teenage phenom CiCi wins. :clap.

Next up for her is Shelby Rogers. While difficult, it is a match worth fighting for as she has a chance in that as well.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I see "Garbage"ne Muguruza continues to play up and down tennis.

 

[Carol]

Jzzz Garbine, after to play a horrible first set she has played second and third very well. I don't understand why she has so many up and downs having that very good game, though I heard he needed a medical attention during the first set

Taylor blew away an opportunity to make at least 77k to advance to the 2nd roundnono

she is not serious about her career...she should hire a nutritionist and a trainer maybe a sports psychologist.Townsend is very talented and if she gets herself in order,she will be a force to reckon with.She has every shot in her repertoire...

 

[Carol]

I see "Garbage"ne Muguruza continues to play up and down tennis.

Hey, be nice with Garbine, or has she done something bad to you?

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I'm not going to be nice. I am growing in dislike of players who have game who can't seem to pull it together to have a consistent year like Muguruza and Kvitova or as I like to refer to her as Ksh!tova.

That's pretty common on both tours, but I have hope with a couple newbies that have been on a steady trajectory going up; Thiem, Zverev, Poille, Goffin, Keyes, Bacsinszky, Bencic, & a couple Russian or Eastern block girls I need a dictionary to spell their names! :nono :angel: :dodgy: :cover

 

[the AntiPusher]

I really enjoy watching Keys hit the ball so hard.
