Toronto 2013: Rogers cup

[Fiero425]

Azarenka has withdrawn from Toronto citing a lower back injury

“I'm so disappointed that I can't make it to Toronto as I added it to my schedule knowing what an important event it is,” said Azarenka. “I am sorry to all my Canadian fans and I will work hard to get healthy and back on the courts as soon as possible.”

Azarenka was the No.2 seed in the Toronto draw. As per WTA rules, the next highest seeded player without a bye moves into Azarenka's spot in the draw, meaning Caroline Wozniacki will now move into that position. Wozniacki, who was originally slated to play Monday night, will now receive a first-round bye.

Wozniacki’s spot in the draw will be replaced by a lucky loser.

A revised order of play for Monday can be found here.

Believe me, that'll make some of us happy! All that screeching and groaning is too much! She's unwatchable; errr un-listenable! You have to turn the volume down all too often!

Well, well - that gives a whole new ballgame from one tough group to another tough group - well exciting to see what comes out of that.

Do players get points for a bye?

 

[djmm]

Do players get points for a bye?

Yeah, they get second round points!!

 

[ozza]

No they don't. If you lose your first match you get 1 point, even the players with byes to the second round. Obviously they still get a big advantage, because they only need to win one match to get 3rd round points.

I like your evaluation of Tuesday's matches Kiu.."juicy"!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am really looking forward to seeing Kleybanova after her tough battle against cancer
I know this will be a difficult match for her against Bouchard.I just wish her well and to remain healthy.

 

[ozza]

You mean second round points - they still have to win the third round to get third round points

No I mean 3rd round points. Any player with a bye only has to win 1 match to get 125 points (3rd round points). If you didn't have a bye you would have to win 2 matches to win that many points.

 

[djmm]

No they don't. If you lose your first match you get 1 point, even the players with byes to the second round. Obviously they still get a big advantage, because they only need to win one match to get 3rd round points.

Oops :blush: Thanks for the correction!!

 

[djmm]

YAY Venus is back in action today :clap I hope her back is 100%.

Go Venus Go!!

Ooups Ozza you're right. But If you get a bye for the first round the player ONLY has 1 point. If the player with a bye loses second round she only gets ONE point because that's all she's bringing over from the first round. A big price I think for a lost game actually instead of 125 point you've 1 point but of course a match less.

 

[kskate2]

Someone should tell Cibby to stop drop-shotting Angie. That stuff doesn't work against a defensive player like Kerber.
