WTA week of 7/29; San Jose (Premier) & Washington DC
- Thread starter spystud
- Start date
FWIW, I attended part of this match in person. That is the Grandstand court (formerly Grandstand 2) court at the Citi Open. All of the courts at the Citi Open except the main stadium have temporary seating (though they are permanent courts).

Vekic always looks like she got a food poisoning.
I'm disappointed that Camila Giorgi played so poorly in the championship match, particularly in the 1st set, but Jessica Pegula is a deserving 2019 Citi Open tournament winner, her first-ever WTA title. She's played very well over the last few months, and Pegula will be pushing the top 50 in next week's rankings, a new career high by about 20 spots.
Giorgi should feel good about playing well in her matches prior to the final, and getting her season on track after her injury issues earlier this year.

Empty stadium. SV don't love Women's tennis.
Edit: Not so empty.

Sabalenka leads in forehand average speed. Followed by Petkovic and Vandheweghe.

Zheng plays like Su-Wei with bit more power.

Jessica Pegula winning the D.C. singles title I think was her breakout tournament into possible stardom in the WTA!

DogThis is the saddest trophy I’ve ever seen. Step your game up, DC.

Donna V ended up as #24 in the official ranking today. Carla SN ended up moving back down and Julia Goerges dropped down a spot as well. Carla and Julia probably lost some Montréal points they had from last year. Don't think that Donna has any Montréal points to defend

Amanda Anisimova did better in that department. Even though she appeared to not be feeling very well and was greatly disappointed that she could not close out the second set, Amanda insisted on giving Saisai a nice congratulatory hug at the end of their QF match
I know that Maria Sakkari was pretty annoyed with Saisai moon-balling tactics in their SF match. I'm wondering if her postmatch handshake was any better than Aryna's drive-by.

Nah, I think that SV don't love SJSU. Stanford was a much nicer and pleasant venue. And I don't remember the parking being as expensive at Stanford either.

Whatever was bothering Amanda Anisimova in her QF match against Zheng seems to continues to be a problem. Thought that it might possibly have been a bad case of that monthly female thing but now I'm not so sure about that. She's pulled out of the Roger's Cup tournament. She was scheduled to play Aryna Sabalenka today in Toronto. Amanda has previously faced Aryna twice and beaten her both times.
Hope she recovers soon to play Cincy or whatever she's to committed to
