WTA250 Palermo Ladies Open,
SFs,
(1) Zheng vs Parry (4)
(2) Muchova vs Begu

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In the Budapest tournament if Diana Schnaider wins the final tomorrow against unseeded Sasnovich she will be the only woman player to win titles on all 3 surfaces this year.Diana caught my eye when she won Bad Homburg title on grass just before Wimbledon.At present she is No 23 in the live rankings, certainly make the Top 20 this season

In the first SF at Palermo Ladies Tournament
Zheng (1) d Parry 75 64 she awaits the winner of the 2nd SF match between Muchova v Begu who have just come on the court.

I am rooting for Muchova,she deserves a break from injury woes.

Hi Tossip,

We are on the same page with Muchova, this is her first final in 2024, yes after the wrist surgery she deserves a break, her game translates to all surfaces, hoping that her injuries are behind her, she is a Top 10 player, hopefully she can get back to the Top Ten

She may be looking for someone to get her over the hump. I'm sure she sees Lil Jaz who's mini reach 2 consecutive slam finals and Lina hasn't even sniffed one yet. Babs who has twice come out of nowhere and won a slam. It has to be disheartening for all those wannabees we mentioned at RG (Daria, Elina, Goddess, Jess). None have reached a slam final yet and they've been hovering around the top 10 for years.

Come on Karolina you had breaks of serve in the 1st set, though you lost the first set 64
Another early break of serve in the 2nd set, you need to hold your serve!
