Goofy-ass scheduling by the WTA this season. We have Cleveland starting Sunday morning before the Cincy semis even get underway.


Cleveland draw

Samsonova & a Wang lead the way, Katie is 7-seed.

Jovic v. Potapova & Kartal v. Sierra are decent early matchups.


Monterrey draw

This one starts Monday, we will see plenty of withdrawals.

Navarro/Alexandrova/Shnaider/BHM top 4 with byes.

Teichmann downs Boisson in 3 sets.

That was a good draw for Boisson as well given that Teichmann hadn't won a match on hard since January.
 
Sakkari is not enjoying her evening.

There is way too much blue on this court, needs a contrasting color.
 
Still too early to tell whether this is just a bad season for Boulter, or whether the dreaded career decline is starting.

12-15 for the year. 6-12 against top 50 players. Lost a bunch of matches to players she shouldn't be losing to.
 
Sorana easy over Samsonova in Cleveland.

Golubic is playing a Wang in both their second matches today.

Noskova v. Alexandrova early in Mexico.
 
Shnaider beat Parks, 10-8 in the breaker.

Li trying to serve it out in a long decider.
Just watching the start of Shnaider v Parks in the SF of Monterrey - crowd looks tiny! Has it been like that all week? On a side note I do love the court colour in Monterrey.
 
Sorana v. Ann Li for Cleveland glory.

Bouzkova v. Alexandrova underway in Mexico.
A nice final line-up for Cleveland with an American in the final for a second year in a row. Also Cirstea's first final after coming back from injury - always nice to see a veteran having solid results.
