Very excited for doubles. Iga will definitely aim for mixed. Would love to see Serena/Venus one last time.

If by disturbing you mean male-like then yes.

Last 2 AO she played mixed with Kubot, but he really disappointed last time around.
Hurkacz these days is a better player than Kubot (including doubles), plus she can team up with Linette if she wants to.

It would be an absolute crime for that team to play over deserving US teams.

Fortunately they can’t play based on the updated qualifying system.

Who would put then on US team?

We can make a separate thread (if one doesn't exist yet), but I can think of quite a few who are more annoying (Halep, Azarenka)
Her grunt sounds like Garcia's, strange but not extremely annoying.

Why Sofia? BMS/Melichar would do much better
You can however team up Sofia with her dad for mixed

Match point for Kenin!

I’m okay with that team too, but BMS/Sofia were playing together pre-‘Rona specifically for Tokyo.

I read some US based reports that Brady was going to win this.

Who's playing with Melichar? Only 2 dubs per country and 6 players. I would say Serena/Venus has better chance for medal than Melichar and let's say Brady. I think BMS will play with Kenin.

Pliskova will face Pegula again. Is she still working with Bajin?

2016 Olympic is using singles ranking or whichever best. Venus is 90 in singles tho, so might be not an issue.

How many weeks at number 1 for Barty now?
She's probably eclipsing all-time greats at this point solely because of covid.

Konjuh starting out really well, very competitive first set vs. Swiatek so far. Serving at 3*-2 after a break, service loss, and a rebreak. #wta

Simona Halep withdrew from the Miami Open due to a shoulder injury:

68 weeks. Barty is 10th in the number of weeks at 1st position in WTA singles rankings, of the active female tennis players spent more weeks in 1st place only Serena (319). Of the female tennis players in the range of 0-2 winning grandslams, only Wozniacki (71) spent a longer time in 1st place.

Wow! Ana Konjuh (338) takes the first set over Iga (16), 6-4. Impressive!

2-2 in the second set. Iga is getting pretty worked up!

After a tremendous struggle to hold at 2-2, Iga breaks in the next game, now serving at 4-2 in the second. Looks like this will go 3.

Konjuh up 4*-1 in the third set, Iga looking annoyed and overheated. Can Konjuh hold steady?
Edit: 5*-2 Konjuh, this would be a pretty major upset. Konjuh still looking super calm and composed.

Ana takes it! Amazing. Iga out. 6-4 2-6 6-2. Very solid game by Ana, great composure. Let's hope she sticks around for a while.
Pretty good W/UE stats!

Ana Konjuh is another up and comer in the WTA ranks. If she wins the next round she will be the real deal! Maybe, lots of WCs for many upcoming tournaments too.

Sabalenka is through, beating Kudermetova 7-6(4) 6-4.
"I couldn't do anything against her serve, I think I just got lucky". Pretty honest response

Bencic Vondrousova got started. Feels kind of weird that there's no grunting!
@NaomiKonjuhPotapova Haha I couldn’t help but think of you while seeing this match.
You’re right she used to be a solid contender. Her fitness dropped I noticed, but still pretty fast in court. Hopefully she gets that back. Heard she had four elbow surgeries.
