$34 to win the French. Be worth chucking some coin on. If she stays mentally ok she could win it

No chance. Will get overpowered by the bigger hitters as they go deep in the tournament. CSN is solid, but I can't see her winning a Slam.

You never know. She might win because of the draw working her way.

She won't. Still would have to beat Serena, Maria, etc

Bartoli didn't. Shit happens. Particularly on the women's side of the draw.

1 time in gosh knows how long...jeez hope you ain't banking on it. If Serena doesn't win, Maria will. She is the best clay courter left anyway. Either way I expect Serena to bounce back and win

I get that. My point was that you can't rule it out as a possibility just because she can't beat Serena. In this form CSN is a threat to all but about 2-5 players in the draw. It's not out of the question that she manages to avoid them, particularly when most of them are prone to the odd shocker. Even Serena isn't immune. If she does maintain this form and the seeds fall her way, she can win it. Doesn't matter how unlikely it is...in this form, you can't just dismiss the chance. Plenty of examples of players avoiding most major roadblocks on the women's side in the past five years to win slams - Bartoli, Pennetta, Schiavone, Na's AO, Kvitova's second Wimbledon, Azarenka's second AO. None of these were "undeserved" but they were a little bit soft if you look at the players beaten. With draws like that playing the tennis she is, CSN has more of a chance than a lot of players.

Each to their own, let's just agree to disagree. Don't rate her a chance one single bit. Bencic for me is a better chance.

Genie is in another WTA International final.

Genie is in another WTA International final.

She will play Svitolina in the final.

 

[Wolfs]

Never got the love for Genie. Something about her I just don't like.

100% agree. Can't stand her personality. Her looks are so overrated too.

Cant believe Genie choked that ending to the match, she is 1-5 in WTA finals now.

She lays on the fakeness pretty thick.

I can. Svitolina should be happy. Great start to her working relationship with Henin.

Laura Robson's comeback has hit another snag in Q1 of Charleston with a straight sets loss to Tig of Romania.

Patty Schnyder goes down to USA's Samantha Crawford in Q1 of Charleston in 3 sets.

Daniela Hantuchova is 1 match away in qualifying for Katowice (Poland).

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I'm amazed that Schynder is still playing!

She is??

I didnt know that, I thought she gave up on tennis years ago after having crap coaches/partners.

Diyas isn't great on clay from what I've seen.
