After the Open Garcia might be out of the top ten,just think it's not going to be easy to defend all the points she made from now till the end of the Open.She has soughta regressed to the nervous Caro.I hope she gets it together because she seems to be non problematic.

I get the feeling we're going to see Serena/Venus doubles at the Paris Olympics for the final act.

A very decisive win from Clara Tauson 64 61 over the No 2 seed Barbora Krejcikova, RG GS winner, at the Tennis in the Land Tournament in Cleveland
Clara has had a few injuries in her young career, keeping her off the tour at 20 years old, if she can remain healthy she has all the weapons to be a dangerous player.

Clara has had a few injuries in her young career, keeping her off the tour at 20 years old, if she can remain healthy she has all the weapons to be a dangerous player.

I was wondering were she had disappeared to.She showed promise when she came on tour.Krejickova continues her downward spiral,and to imagine that she wanted into the big three conversation.

Yes Clara has had some injury worries and time off tour, today was a very good win against Krejickova,
I think Barbora wanting to be in the big 3 conversation, even at the time she said it, was premature,she has a long way to get back to some form as a singles player when she won her RG title.

Wow...its time for Simona to pack it up,she is almost 33yrs and still with no decision.

Wow...its time for Simona to pack it up,she is almost 33yrs and still with no decision.

Simona's ranking is now 1140? I do not know why the decision has taken soo long, though I saw a photo of Simona on a yacht cruising around Italy the other day, she looked happy, a decision was suppose to be forth coming before the USO, still waiting.
