Rogers Cup 2022, Toronto, Canada - WTA 1000

[Moxie]

The good news: she's playing under a PR of 16 at USO. So she won't face a seed in the 1st round, but it could still be a tough match.

I get @tented 's point, which is that she's already said she's done. But I will be interesting to see how hard she tries for the USO. Would be interesting if she got an easy draw. #hopespringseternal

Watch her get Naomi-me-me in the 1st round.

What's her ranking right now? She outside the top 40?

I'm no fan of Bencic's, but it's interesting and embarrasing to see we have a-#oles in my birth country acting this way! I mean "applauding" a double fault! Disgusting and classless IMO! I'm shocked to $#!t! I expected better of Canadians who have such a great reputation! BTW, I was born on the island of Newfoundland! My father was in the USAF stopping over before heading back to the States!

I am also in Canada Ottawa

39, but I don’t know what she’s defending before the USO.

39, but I don’t know what she’s defending before the USO.

Lets see if she plays Cinncy, she has a bad back, her ranking of 39 could fall further,

She might be done this year, but don't fool yourself, Serena wants to win. And if she gets a workable draw, her serve firing and her groundies in sync (she's hoping to ride that wave all the way to 24). It would be a story among stories. An almost 41 year old champ wins the last match of her career with a slam where it all started.

Here’s 39-60

All of those are potential tough matches except for Double Lina and Parrizas Diaz,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka lost in the 1st rd last year in Cinncy to Jil Teichmann, so if she plays Cinncy she has really nothing to defend

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Muguruza defeated Kanepi 64 64....at least Garbine has not gone out in the 1st round in Toronto.

This could be a 'drama packed ' match Andresscu vs Cornet!

This could be a 'drama packed ' match Andresscu vs Cornet!

No could be about it. Two drama queens in action w/ an emotional crowd after Serena's sendoff.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Bianca 3rd SP
Attack that 2nd serve of Cornet
Thank you with a Fhand winner
Bianca 63 1st set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cornet wins the 2nd set 64 and we are going the distance

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

As I thought this match would go 3 sets with the 2 Drama Queens

Andreescu d Cornet 63 46 63.....Bianca's fhand was a highlight in this match up

Sweet 16 in Toronto,

(1) Swiatek vs Haddah Maia
(12) Bencic vs (8) Muguruza
(3) Sakkakri vs (14) Pliskova
Andreescu vs Zheng Q.
(7) Pegula vs Giorgi
Riske vs Putintseva
(6) Sabalenka vs (10) Gauff
(15) Halep vs Teichmann

The battle of the double fault queens Gauff vs Saba.. poor Miss Margaret will be pulling her hair out. Coco defense will be the deciding factor

 

[the AntiPusher]

@tented tented whats the over under on the number of double faluts between the two of them? I would say if it goes 3 sets #35..currently they're at #16

 

[the AntiPusher]

horrible call by the umpire Saba got the ball before it bounced twice.. I wish they could challenge that
