Presumably she was playing it safe, as back in Russia they would happily still call Gracheva a Russian if they could use it for spin purposes.
Thanks for the heads up. I guess this screws up the poll results.
the screwed up poll is the biggest problem , yeah
Raducanu has basically taken Alexandrova's seeding unofficially.
Swiatek winning would be so insanely good! A US Open, 4x French Open and then a Wimbledon champ? Oh wow a great look not just for the sport but the things it would do to promote it. Instead having some random like Vondrousova win Wimbledon and then disappear into oblivion was frankly, embarrassing. How has Marketa done? She won a tournament or made a final since last year?Begu got at least one game!
Townsend's frame is just too heavy for her to be successful. Mind boggling that she actually leads (6-5) against Pavs!
Tsurenko hasn't yet retired in her match against Gracheva but don't worry it's for sure just around the corner!
Of course you do!
iga had nightmare draw at AO, but it fell apart. \and losing to noskova was not caused of nightmare draw... everyone expected that she will go straight into the final. Who had tough draw or not we can say in the final , in the beginning it is pointless..
Given that Raducanu could meet the 33rd ranked Mertens in round 2, I would say it's Mertens who has taken over the seeding with Raducanu/Zarazua/Hibino the trio of non seeds in her section.
What a horribly stupid outfit For Osaka. 1000% chance the designer never played tennis. if i'm Osaka, i refuse to wear that distracting garbage.
Not sure, just seen this myself and I'm baffled.
I was glad to see her recover and take the W as Pliskova just does not excite me and never has. Pretty keen to see what Shnaider can do here.
She also looks tiny on my screen - has to be shorter than Paolini. Mertens will be a big test if she's playing well and Raducanu gets through this.
Good pick.
Tell me more.Radovcic is quite the chameleon.
She changes from New Zealander to Swiss at will.
She also changes her name at will too from Radovcic to Sun.
Radacanu vs whoever. Poor quality match to have on centre court and British TV. Much rather watch Sinner.
It was meant to be against Alexandrova which absolutely was worthy of a CC billing for a home prospect to face. Once someone withdraws from the tournament and the schedule is set, can they even move a match off a show court/swap it for something else? Not sure if I've seen that before. For instance what if Raducanu withdraw and it was Zarazua v Alexandrova?
