WTA really want this little brat to happen,they wanted her to play Venus and didn't.She is playing Sloane because they really want her to break out like pova.They tried with Coco and failed,tried with Venus and now Sloane.Let her play Pegula or Danielle Collins..

Hey, I'll have you know she is a roaring Lion. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Ain't nobody trying to willingly join those chump Virgo's anyway...
they most definitely do. And it doesn't look like they will be in the top four of singles or even a top ranked doubs team to rise above the current crop of Americans. Besides, the WS aren't beating any decent doubs teams on tour, they surely won't do it at the OG.
If they train and practice..they can remember Serena is the kind of player who needs just a target.She can have her next babies by a surrogate.The sisters have done it all at the Olympics,let the scrubs get the leftovers.

Good God,
Caroline Garcia (1) seed at the 'Tennis In the Land' tournament knocked out by L. Zhu 64 61? she went out early in Cinncy where she was defending finalists points, probably thought to enter Cleveland to get some form before the USO where she is defending SFs points, she wont be in the Top 10 after the USO, if she dosent find form ASAP like now with the USO starting in a few days

Glad I'm not the only irrational fan to have "hate" for a kid just breaking onto the tour! I was no fan of the Capriati, Agassi, Arias, & a few others!

Have you actually watched her play? before passing judgement? you dont watch the womens tour? btw because of her age she is limited how many tournaments she can play per year, but of course you would know that wouldnt you if you have watched her play before?Glad I'm not the only irrational fan to have "hate" for a kid just breaking onto the tour! I was no fan of the Capriati, Agassi, Arias, & a few others!

In regards to Andreeva she is young and is wants to win regardless I have to laugh at Tossip's nick name for her 'the vulture' lets see when she grows up a bit if she settles down, because some of her outbursts have only gone against her, she loses focus,etc, it is a learning curve and hopefully her coach can point out a few things to Mira going forward. I mean there are some senior players on tour who I cannot bear, but I just grin and bear therm

If Serena trains and gets back in shape, yes. I'm sorry I love Vee, but I just don't trust her to be able to last 3 sets even though she's only covering half the court.

I guess Sloane, ,, Garcia and Leylah Fernandez had enough extra matches and wanted to rest for the Open
Haha, we can't really be friends because I'm like the biggest Capriati defender ever. I'll always believe that she was more talented than Serena. I mean, old and out of shape Capriati's last win was against prime Serena. Capriati didn't have access to the nutrition/conditioning that Serena had. Not to mention, Capriati's team around her disintegrated as she was heading into her prime years.Glad I'm not the only irrational fan to have "hate" for a kid just breaking onto the tour! I was no fan of the Capriati, Agassi, Arias, & a few others!
I'm a Sampras fan, so I didn't really like Agassi, but I do respect his game.
I'm just hoping that Coco and Mirra stay healthy and available because this has the potential to be a 10+ year rivalry. Seles-Capriati should have been that in the 1990s, but circumstances happen and cut the rivalry short.

Are you serious? Your thoughts about Jenny Capriati was "more talented than Serena" is your unsubstantiated beliefs! ( see BB @britbox I am addressing the post not the poster)
Yes, just watch clips of Capriati from 1990 up until the 1992 Olympics (there are a lot on YouTube) and you'll see why. If Serena was having problems with old and out of shape Capriati at the 2004 US Open, just imagine what early 90s Capriati would have done to Serena. The only players that I consider on the same talent level as Capriati are Seles, Graf, Navratilova, and maybe BJK. The golden era of women's tennis came to an untimely end with the Seles stabbing in 1993. Capriati's personal problems and Navratilova's retirement as 1993 spilled into 1994 also didn't help.

If IF was a fifth..well you know the rest.. Jenny Capriati was a very good mover but she wasn't nowhere near the level of athletism that Serena had.. Serena's tennis IQ was astonishing and she was the ultimate competitor..as a matter of fact..the greatest Competitors I have seen in all of the known sports were Jordan, Kobe , Tiger and Serena.

Remember she had to complete a match earlier, though it wast hard by any means. Sometimes I do not know what Sloane continues to play, she just looks disinterested.
