WTA WTA Tour - 2020

[Me Myself and I]

Interesting matchup Monterrey first round: Konta v Clijsters.
Kim must be a good chance as Konta been struggling with form and injury.

Azarenka making her first appearance of the season.

 

[Hamingja]

The top 8 seeds in Mexico.

Svitolina
Konta
Putintseva
Linette
Stephens
Peterson
Azarenka
Wang

Talk about struggle street.

Draw actually opens right up for Clijsters is she can beat Konta.

Thoughts BobbyMorri.
Match of the day later this morning. Venus v Schmiedlova.
Venus not winning many matches these days.
Be a chance that Schmieds up a set and a break then blowing it.

No

Venus will getaway to a 5-1 lead only for Schmieds to get back on serve at 5-4 in the first set.

the mental willpower to do that sort of comeback is amazing.

Sab played lights out tennis in the final. Not as if Kvitova played badly either. Barty was awful in the semi against Petra. Didn't watch the Mexican Open.

One set all now. They're having a good dip. Almost two hours for two sets. Schmieds serving first third set.

there have been a couple of long deuces. but Schmieds has won the last 12 out of 16 games if my maths is right.

Has this in the bag. Hopefully, the reverse jinx works this time.

 

[BobbyMorri]

I am not worried. just because Schmieds lost a game from 30-0 at 4-0 doesn't mean history will repeat.

Well she got over the line. I must say that sinking feeling was there when Williams got back to 4-2. But as you said what about that mental willpower.

As for physical willpower she'll be running on empty in the next round.

yeah. still, a 2nd round coming from quallies is a good result for her on a hard court. her first main draw win of the year as well......

Stephens is struggling to beat a person ranked in the 450's atm.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Schmieds lost 6-4, 6-1 to Bouzkova. we called it but we are still sad about it.

To cheer us up, here is a Serve she did against Venus on Monday. And a reminder, she beat Venus while doing this.

Lol, nearly took out the umpire

What a bummer, Kenin getting out of jail earlier on. Cristian (174) led a set and 5-3 and blew it.
Grrrr, I can't stand Kenin. Hate the way she struts around on the court.

Stephens losing to Fernandez. Another young Canadian on the rise who lost in the Acapulco final last week.

 

[Me Myself and I]

Proposed schedule. Bit optimistic you'd think. WTA thinking of the dollars income big time with all the China tournaments listed.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It's ever evolving I would have said they were no chance a month ago maybe they are a chance now.

 

[Roobs321]

North America August is feasibly good in theory for locking down players in country for a period, but with the American Covid response and subsequent protests it is hard to have faith in it (the players might not feel comfortable being there either).

Would love to see Australia pick up some one-off relocated tournaments like a few grass and maybe a Melbourne masters.

 

[BobbyMorri]

It really depends on what happens in the US and in China. Covid is still a thing and the US is so lax that they may allow it despite it.

I am really hoping we get some tournaments in December. Extend our season. You would think we(Aus+NZ) will be one of the first places to allow full crowds in.

 

[danstar]

I would think with the reluctance of top players to want to compete in tournaments especially those in the US, it cant go ahead yet, i would think Europe has more chance of hosting tournaments which is a strange thing to say but the US have really done a bad job handling CoVid and the protests have just made things even worse for themselves

Be desperate for money and/or points to rock up to Wuhan.

 

[Hamingja]

Could get some randoms qualify for the end of year tournament too.

Imagine no one turns up to the Chinese tournaments and Saisai Zheng or someone qualifies

 

[JamisonRun40]

TBH if I was a tennis player I wouldn't want to play in the US atm. Would have no problem playing in China though.

 

[BobbyMorri]

yeah. wouldnt want to be anywhere near America in November, where this crap will peak.

Looks like players will have to get their own towels now than rely on ball kids.
