2 gifts! 1 retirement, the other opp. in Keyes match a LL! We're in an era of the "walking wounded!" It's OTT w/ injuries, WD's, & extended absences!

Not a surprise. When she played the legends doubs at RG I thought she looked really good for someone who's pushed out 2 bambino's. Glad she's coming back. I think the same will happen w/ Ash. She retired so young that I can see her coming back in a few years once her kids aren't babies.

Ash should come back,her game was so good to watch.Woz must be bored just being a housewife.I am sure Papa Wozniack is happy to be back coaching.

What I read Woz had dinner with Serena and told her of her plans to make a comeback, Serena thought it was a great idea and told Caroline if she can help in any way just ring her, they remain best friends

No she is just ambitious and doesn't think she is finished with the sport. She still have some goals to reach. She looked pretty solid in RG in the legend matches and I think she could do well. Maybe not win a slam but noone should rule her out. She's in great shape.

Iga Swiatek has withdrawn from SFs at Bad Homburg due to fever/ possible food poisoning. L Bronzetti gets a walkover to the final

If Keli @kskate2 feels Madison will play under control she will defeat Coco. Otherwise Coco will let her defeat herself IMO

Darn it I woke up too late to see the match.. apparently Keys had her A game today and maybe CoCo didn't

So disappointed by this, but Madison always has one match like this every year. I hope she can keep this going and doesn't choke in the finals. I'll be annoyed if Madison loses to an inferior player like Giorgi or Kasatkina.

Same here, I did both draws for Wimbledon and went back to bed and woke up late, I was wrong on both accounts lol! I wil watch both matches on replay later

Hey, as the world's 3rd most famous pimp behind Chicago's The Bishop Don Juan and Kris Kardashian, DJ from the movie Hustle and Flow, says "Hey Man, Everyone has got a Dream"!

You should be happy your ex Madison Keys is into the final at Eastbourne, she was champion there 9 years ago long time between drinks lol!

Remember Keli finally convinced me that Keys was a scrub ..Jajaja I am not going to get my hopes to high up on Keys..Daria is a pusher and Keys can have get a bit cocky sometimes.
