That won’t happen because Sascha wants to be the main course and not a side dish

Serena needs matches on the clay. She can't just show up at RG and think she will be confident in her footing on the clay. This isn't grass we're talking about.

Agree especially on clay,quick turnaround,though quite frankly if the achillies is still playing up I can see Serena not playing Paris at all.

The WTA has announced the cancellation of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow due to issues relating to COVID 19

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Naomi Osaka will not play French Open,hamstring is still not 100%

Kim Cljisters will not play the French Open.

Naomi Osaka will not play French Open,hamstring is still not 100%

I tell ya Hamstring injuries are a bitch, would not be shocked if she shuts down her year.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

WTA has also cancelled the tournament in Linz,which was due to start a week prior to the Kremlin Cup in Moscow,due to issues relating to COVID.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Johanna Konta who lost her 3rd match in Rome to Garbine Muguruza announced she has split from her coach Tomas Hogstedt (Konta hired Hogsredt in late July this year).

 

[kskate2]

Konta is turning into another Pliskobot. Everytime she loses badly at a slam, she changes coaches. When will they learn, it's not the coach's fault you are a headcase.

Main course Sascha is available now. Maybe she'll give him a ring.

5 girls to watch in the qualifying at Roland Garros - which starts today (women) - one of them Dane Clara Tauson who beat Errani in Prague

One of the other mentioned is Zvonareva- Saw her match today - and she played really well

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bianca Andresscu has decided to take the remainder of the season off and focus on her health and training.
(quite frankly I do not think Bianca is meant to play tennis,her body breaks down sad to say,she has been off the tour more than on,she is young and hopefully she can come back in 2021 stronger as I love watching her play).

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jelena Ostapenko is now working with Tomas Hogstedt.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I cannot keep up with Sam Sumyk and his coaching of players,last month in August he teamed up again with Vera Zvonareva and now he is coaching Donna Vekic,who knows how long this will last

Maybe Miss Drama Z couldn't afford him long term.
