She was limping last night against Shelby. Won the battle, lost the war.

There's always a first for everything in tennis!
Never saw a player before (male or female) squeeze out sweat from their shirt on court!
Pretty gross.
I wonder what will they think of next?

You've never seen that before? I've seen it a bunch, particularly the Spanish players (not sure why). But Verdasco, Lopez and others have all done it. Not a new thing, at least to me. But it is gross.There's always a first for everything in tennis!

I mean, she’s not better than Iga, but anyone can make an argument for #2 these days. I do like her lefty game though.

she got 3 matches including quallies, understandable. Don't repeat Noskova mistakes!

Frech was pretty stale by the time she lost the match.
But then again, so was Vickery.
It took 9 match points for Vick to seal the deal!

That was funny. Badosa not happy with a Kanepi winner - huffing and puffing, staring at the line, glancing at the linesman, glancing at her box, finally challenges. Hawkeye shows it was in by literally at least a foot.

BHM in 2nd set at change over pulled her shirt up to cool down. Oh My GOD!!!!
Although I still think CG is better, both in terms of tennis and hotness. Cuz… French Frenchy…

That feed isn’t working on TC+. That could be the issue. I’m watching Townsend crush vondrosova in dubs.

So many players simply lack court smarts.
Mladen, way inside the baseline, Volynets 8+ feet behind the baseline.
Mladen goes for a hard FH and hits it into net.
The drop shot was the obvious play. With lots of room for error.

Katatkina gives Petra her first loss of the season.
Not a great match by Kvitova.

She was moving like she had concrete boots on. DK was grinding and PK didn’t want any part of it.

Yes. She could have gotten it and she just looked at it.

From listening to the announcers, it sounded like DK must have framed it, and PK from the sound of that, thought it wasn’t getting back over the net. But yeah… she could have scampered to it.

Badosa, yet another player who doesn't use her head.
Maia's weakness is her BH. So where does Badosa hit most of the time?
You guessed it, her FH.
And since Badosa is a righty, the natural place for her to hit is Maia's BH!
Badosa almost let the 1st set slip away.

Wow, some choke from Collins. Blows 5 match points in the 2nd set and then a 4-1 lead in the 2nd set tiebreak and loses the third set 6-1.

Bencic hits the line on match point which leaves Garcia scrambling, Bencic wins the point and the match.

Bencic is playing really well, could have easily folded after that second set. That match against Kudermetova will be fireworks.

Old timer @UnderratedSlam had been critical of her and her infractions. There were a lot of push back on his position. He has been on since September tho. You’re the first one since who’s bring it up.
She did serve whatever the penalty was for this violation, did she not?

She is just big boned.Pic from Twitter.
Yep, she did. I guess I am surprised I don't hear more about it since she's been on her come up. Maybe everyone has moved on, or it's NBD.
