Tsurenko quit because of some reason against Vekic at 5-6. 
And V. Kudermetova seems to be going out quickly too against Bouzkova. (Younger Kudermetova, Polina, once again played far below her talent level in the qualies and lost already in the first match)

LOVE that outfit. You have to be hot to make it work, and she's making it work.

She did something to her back. Had to be helped to walk off court.Tsurenko quit because of some reason against Vekic at 5-6.

^ Ok. Sorry to immediately judge her then.

Basic... eh, I mean Bouzkova finally beat V. Kudermetova 6-2, 6-4. Saw two last games, not great from either player.

Wow, Dayana served 3 aces in one game - the last one was 2nd serve!
After I critizised her she has played well. Quite comfortable lead, at 4-1 (in the 3rd) but not over yet.

Yeah the pattern isn’t great but her body looks stunning and loved the sort of crop top and tennis skirt! And this is coming from a gay man hahah.^ Sorry. Darcy, I will answer even while I was not even asked from and still with a "wrong" view. Looks gaudy. And the pattern would fit kitchen curtains...
Damn Dayana! Start playing the way you can!!! Huge talent keeps being wasted time after time.
Oh and VIVA LUCIA! VIVA ITALY! (Not going to watch the match but just to make sure that NO is still the biggest 'no' for me.

Dayana couldn't end against Ajla just yet. But now matchball.... and Yastremska takes it! (3-6, 6-3, 6-3 )

imagine vs Sabalenka/Halep. their grunt might overlaps.
I’m getting PTSD just from the thought of that
The thing with Bronzetti though, is that her grunts start after the ball has crossed the net. That is quite unsportsmanlike.

Osaka looking fantastic right now. Crazy to think she had a kid less than a year ago.

Yeah this is just unnecessarily loud from Bronzetti. For all the people who complained about Osaka, she was always respectful on court, compliments the opponents winners and doesn’t grunt/scream the way that so many players do.I’m getting PTSD just from the thought of that

Break point for 5-0 for Osaka.
Funny to think that Naomi was so utterly woeful on clay before she had her child that she refused to do press conferences at the French Open a few years ago. What a turn around.

Oh my god.
From 4-0 up, Osaka is now 4-4.
This is some choke.

Kudos to Bronzetti there for replaying the point knowing the chair ump got it wrong.
Clay is such a joke with the line calls.

Oh my, net chord goes Osaka's way. Double break points.
And Osaka breaks!
Bronzetti must be fuming. This sure has been some 3rd set.

Wow these line calls are absolutely awful. It's been a while i've seen so many clay calls called overturned by the chair umpire.
Osaka was so confident she didn't even bother hitting it and she was right.

Naomi Osaka digs deep and pulls out a huge win.
Led 4-0 in the third set with a point for 5-0 but ended up facing 4-5.
Wins the 3rd set 7-5.

That is Naomi Osaka's first slam win since the birth of her child. Her first win since January 2022. She's into the French Open 2R.

Also, is Tsurenko going to be punished by the WTA soon?
So she retires down 5-6 today at the French Open (for the 2nd year in a row!!!).
2 weeks ago in Rome she retired down 0-2 against Kalinina.
Dubai in February she withdrew after the draw was done.
Also in February, she withdrew mid tournament against Osaka.
In October in Zhenghzhou she retired after losing the 1st set against Krejcikova.
In August she played qualifying and qualified for the Canadian Masters but then withdrew.
And at the French Open last year she retired in the 4R against Swiatek.
She is utterly awful at withdrawing...

^ & ^^ Ouch!
Countess Cristian still seems to be difficult opponent for Ostapenko! (Remember that most us heard about Cristian (in autumn of 2021?) when she surprisingly beat Ostapenko at some indoor tournament! )

To be fair Badosa had 31 retirements already (Including ITF events). Lesia bit older has 35.
No one suspect Badosa tho?
Some players are prone to injuries. I don’t think they can be blamed for something that is beyond their control.

Vekic is OK with it.

Sure, but there's a difference between someone like Muchova, and someone who is constantly playing.
You do have a point, of course.

There's a difference between the news I read about Badosa and Tsurenko.
So, no, I don't suspect Badosa.
