What a ****show. Meanwhile, the GB team she could have been spearheading moves onto the semi finals.

Barbs saved 3 MPs, less than half she saved against Taylor (8).
She also saved 3 and 2 against Burrage and Dart in Eastbourne. 16 in total for the year.

If Siniakova wins the doubles title with Krejcikova, she'll take the #1 ranking from her regular partner Taylor Townsend.
Kinda would be karmic justice for the crap she posted this week ha.

she's coming for him
I was pretty happy that Raducanu lost to Krejcikova. I personally didn't want her to do well in Seoul, after she chose to play in that tournament instead of in the BJK Cup finals.
I defended her last year, after I thought there was a hysterical overreaction (especially in the UK) to her withdrawal from Wimbledon mixed doubles with Murray. Many of the people piling in to criticise her then, probably had no idea that their 1st round mixed doubles match was supposed to be scheduled for the 2nd Monday, before the organisers moved it 48 hours earlier to try to shamelessly milk the Murray farewell even more.
What she should have been criticised for last summer, was opting not to play in qualifiers for Toronto and Cincinnati and instead returning to the UK, which unsurprisingly received very little attention in comparison.
Yes I know that tennis is a tough individual sport, and that she received a sizeable appearance fee for playing in Seoul. But I just couldn't get on board with this scheduling decision at all. When she was really struggling to win matches on the regular tour, she was largely saving her best performances for the BJK Cup (notably vs. France last year), and looked to really enjoy the team environment.

raining?
Both Krejcikova and Keys have won 4 matches this year from match point down.
Historical record and stats keeping on the women's side is nowhere near as good as it is on the men's side. But there can't be too many other examples of players winning 4 matches in a single season from match point down either.
On the men's side Muster had 8 such wins in 1995. There are quite a few examples (Kvitova in 2022, Schnyder in 1998, Tauziat in 2000, Safina in 2008 etc.) of players winning 3 matches in a season from match point down.

Aussie Maya Joint just so good. She'll be the #1 Aussie by years end with the way Kasatkina is going.

Do we know if this is a temporary reunion or permanent? Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the thread I've not been checking TTW regularly since the USO.
Great to see Siniakova and Krejcikova win the title at the Korea Open 500 event in Seoul. I would love for Seoul to be a 1000 event one day, but I suspect 500 may be it's peak with the big events in China.
Damn these tournament organisers aren't messing around with the flower/trophy presentation - Joint and McNally can't help but laugh at how awkward the adjustments being made to their positions are.

Have to say that Siniakova is one of my favorite doubles player. She and Krejcikova pairing is really a pleasure to watch. Their court dynamics are just amazing. Siniakova's hit many incredible/deep groundstrokes, especially from her BH.
Just heard the speech ... Looks like the pairing is temporary "when Taylor is not available".

As bad as this week was with the field, rain, & spectators, it’s probably best to stay 500.

Alexandrova brutal over Iga.

Shame, they're basically the best doubles team in the world every time they decide to pair up.
I also enjoyed the fact Siniakova became #1 after this.
