Haven't been able to catch any of her recent matches. What's going on with her game that she's getting good results?

Good pace on the serve, but placement doesn't seem as good. In Mugu's strikezone usually.
Decent off the ground.

Is it just me or does Mugu have some big ole feet?

Watched her on Prague, I'd say that she's a mini Petra.

I saw the SMc one, but it's time for Muguruza to wear something different than Woz. I personally love it on Mugu tho
On a side note, I really hope someone wearing Torysport, the tennis line from Tory Burch.

You love this outfit for Mugu or the Stella stuff?

I like the Pharell one. And it looks good on Zverev also. Seems younger, nice color blocking and not too much like the horrendous Y-3 Zebra.

It actually seems like I'm in the minority on this. I posted the shoes in the shoes/apparel section + somebody replied with the Zverev stuff, and most people that replied seemed to like the kits.

Had to leave for work not long after I asked, and on the way I thought DUH... common man. Should have known right away though.

Keys rolls in a quick match. Nice sized crowd for the Grandstand. She faces Muguruza next, should be a good one.

This has probably been mentioned before, but does anyone else think Kerber has lost weight? And maybe some muscle mass, which might help explain her struggles.

Azarenka statement coming shortly we're being told.

Some musician (Pharrel? I'm familiar with the name but that's it.) will have an Adidas line to be worn by Garbi. Don't understand the partnership there, don't really like the kit either.
For US Open
It's kind of cute. Much better than that ugly red dress everyone was wearing at the last 2 tournaments.

Kerber loses her finalist points from last year and is now down to #5 in the world. If she does a **** job at defending her USO title points (which she probably will) she could be out of the top 10. Her 2016 will always be an enigma. A fantastic year but just one single great year. Back to the middle-ish of the pack for her.

Also, first top 10 win of Ash Barty's career. Huge scalp over Venus Williams.
Jumps 6 spots to #42 in the world. She's #26 in the race rankings, no points to defend for the rest of the year. Fantastic return to tennis she's having. Always knew she had it in her, can't wait for even bigger and better things!

Wow Sloane win again. But not surprising tho as Petra barely survive on 1R. Let see if Sloane can hold on to this until USO!

So only left Pliskova, Halep and Svitolina for the hunt of No. 1

Y'know who's really gone under the radar? Makarova.
Her win over Kerber today has meant she now has EIGHT wins over a top 10 player this year. Only other person to have more is Svitolina with #10 (4 of which came last week). Wozniacki also has eight top 10 wins.
All 8 of Makarova's top 10 wins have come at different events and unfortunately for her, 6 of the 7 times she's knocked out the top 10 player, she went on to lose in the very next round. So Sloane's chances are looking good.
Makarova's top 10 wins and then next round losses:
Aus Open. Beat #6 Cibulkova 3R, lost 4R to Konta
Dubai. Beat #5 Cibulkova 2R, lost 3R to Davis
Stuttgart. Beat #8 Radwanska 1R, lost 2R to Sharapova
Rome. Beat #5 Cibulkova 2R, lost 3R to Bertens
French Open. Beat #1 Kerber 1R, lost 2R to Tsurenko
Toronto. Beat #7 Konta 2R, lost 3R to Safarova
Cincinnati Beat #3 Kerber 2R, ???????????
Only time she's beaten a top 10 player and won the next match:
Washington. Beat #2 Halep in the QF, won the title!
Impressive though that of the 8 top 10 wins, 7 have been either at a Premier, Premier 5 or Slam.

NE1 see the Halep-Sevastova match earlier?
Guess that Cornet got her revenge for Stanford.

And now Garbine is seeking payback for her loss to Madison at Stanford.
