Tossip,

You will be happy to know Azarenka is not going to retire or she is not pregnant her announcement on Twitter today

Watching Serena practice on Ashe earlier with Maria Sakkari as her opponent, which I think it is a good idea to get practice with a Top WTA player on tour.

On ESPN earlier today, Rennae Stubbs said Serena had contacted her, asking for advice. Stubbs told her to practice with top players, instead of just using a hitting partner.

I saw Stubbs with Serena at practice, I think that is very good advice practicing with Top players

Congratulations are in order to one of the nicest woman players on the WTA Tour!

Petra Kvitova has announced on twitter she is engaged to her boyfriend Jiri Vanek ( who is also her coach)

Apparently Jiri asked her to marry him at Wimbledon, as she said this was her favorite place on the twitter

Well Kerber withdraws from US Open because she is pregnant..wow

IDK, why should she? Am I missing something? Serena was pregnant when she won her final AO! The thing is she can only hope it doesnt affect her during the event! Heaven knows after she has the baby, it'll be unlikely she'll win another tournament if she returns after giving birth!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well..congrats Care bear.

Tossip,

Angie certainly keeps her private life private, I did not know she had a boy friend for starters lol! and was shocked when I read the news earlier she was pregnant,I hope she has a safe pregnancy

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well Serena has certainly taken up Renae Stubbs advice yesterday, today she was practicing with Ons Jabeur on Ashe ( yesterday it was Maria Sakkari.).

Well Kerber withdraws from US Open because she is pregnant..wow

I was wondering why she hasn't played in months.

 

[Moxie]

Lawd. I just about fell on the floor...



AND ...
that's even if she decides to grace the court w/ an appearance.

Who would want to have her as a partner right now? Mixed or not? Does she even hear herself? Get a grip, Naomi!

Tsk tsk sister, don’t forget her pronouns!
Naomi Osaka (pronouns me/me/me!)…

It’s what Serena should have been doing the last couple years hitting with and practicing with the players she was going to play against to get a feel for how they are hitting.

We've been saying that and a lot of other things for awhile. It's hard for a top player to see the forest for the trees. She's been doing it "her way" for a long time and it worked well for a long time, but in the last 5 years she has aged, her body changed after birth and her mentality too. She needed to adjust some things, but couldn't get out of her own way to do it. Now, I'm afraid it's a little too late.

I can think of a few who would play if she asked (Nicky, Stef or some unknown who wants to make a name for himself and get an opportunity to play on a show court)

Well seeing Nick K and Osaka seem to get on, remember Nick has joined Osaka's agency now, so far he is the only player in her new agency I would say she would ask Nick K...
