WTA week of 4/19; Stuttgart 500 & Istanbul 250

Sabalenka's looking as if she really doesn't want to be on the court today. Sluggish body language, look of disgust on her face. Overtired?

Sure. So you think this Svitolina is beating everyone from Swiatek to Serena to Barty to whoever? Elina is best on clay? With the right draw of course she can do it but can you really see Elina beating actual threats and not just a cakewalk draw ala Nadal 2017 USO.

She will need a little help from the draw for sure. She loves playing Halep and Barty so it would be ideal to have them on her side!

Lmao for a slam choker like Svitolina? As if. Has more chance of losing pre 4R than she does of winning the title. More than happy to be quoted on this when RG comes.

It's funny to me that he trashes some ATP players but hypes up Svitolina of all players on WTA.

I heard on Tennis Channel she was serving for match. Big LOL from me when they finished the Rafa match and then showed a picture of the Stuttgart draw with Barty in the final.

No hype here. I’m just a fan of hers. Her serve is pathetic but so are a lot of other WTA players. Her game is good enough on clay to win the French
 
Barty almost 2,000 points ahead of #2 Osaka. Could lose all her RG points and likely would still be #1.
Barty is defending QF points in Madrid and 3R in Rome while Osaka is defending QF points at both.
If Barty wins the title she’ll go to #1 in the race rankings and would secure her 3rd title of the year.
 
Still on serve but Barty has been challenging the Sabalenka serve far more having had 3 break points to the Belarusians 0.
 
Sabalenka sounding like a dying cow on each shot. It's such a shame the WTA never did anything when Sharapova and Seles did this. Someone could scream bloody murder and they'd allow it. Disgraceful.
 
Barty races to 3-0 in the 2nd after dropping the 1st. Seems Sabalenka would rather start fresh in a new set than right from a break down.
 
Barty to bagel Sabalenka this set and then we get a very tight 3rd set or Sabalenka runs with it. The shift change is just far too much. This set is done but the third set is what matters.
 
I've learned to stop worrying about Barty when she loses a first set. Her frequent pattern is: lose one, win the next closely, come roaring back in the third. Today she's varying it a little by roaring back in the second.
