Genie will be a commentator / analyst in Tennis Channel during this summer (apparently she is recovering from some injury and decided to make some money by doing this). I am doubting whether she would be good in either role.

She's been fine, but I really wish she didn't opt for the heavy hair/make-up look.

Are there anyone that can tell me an alternative to the WTA website as it seems to be totally f...ed up. No draws, order of play etc. from various torunaments. I'm e.g. looking for information about the WTA125K in Chicago - and it's useless - so help the old Dane. Has this tournament a website? Are there any streams? etc.

Try to google official website Chicago WTA tennis tournament,usually on the WTA website they only start doing order of play on the day the tournament actually starts.

Oh belive me - I have tried - so I thought that people living over there MIGHT know something. Just woner why there is no stream from a WTA 125K and you can see a lot of matches on the ITF circuit - well well. I even tried to look in Chicago papers - but they are not reporting anything from tennis. SO I've only got livescores when Clara Tauson plays at 11 Chicago time (18 Danish time).

Strange.Maybe because it is a new tournament? still that is no excuse,if you can see matches on the ITF,you should be able to see matches on a WTA 125 tournament.
