Shucks, I missed the tokyo final. I'd saw some of Samsonova vs. Muguruza's match on yt earlier and was impressed by Samsonova's serve form (as well as her ground winners and overall game , of course, & variety) where she even did some serve & volley on 2nd serve. Kind of nostalgic of Sampras/Edberg /w good footwork for net game. And Zheng, another rising teen, and wielding a prostaff!

The Russians reign in Tokyo and Seoul. Congrats to Samsonova and Alexandrova - they're both becoming quite the threats especially at WTA Tour events. Both are now up to career highs - Alexandrova at 21 and Samsonova at 23.
Kudermetova is now up to #8 in the race to the WTA Finals after her SF showing in Tokyo.

I don't see how Ostapenko can win another title at this point.
She always seems to be one small lapse in concentration away from totally collapsing.
Another Slam is out of question, but I'm now wondering if she can even string 5 wins in a row for the rest of her career.
Her game hasn't matured AT ALL.

Fun to see this tweet by her this morning.
And I was impressed she was of a few who made it three sets and also not bagelled/breadstick vs. Swiatek's cook-off run this season.

Once at 5-5, Samsonova was a demon, packing explosive charges into each of her shots, her strings suddenly of stone, her ball concussive.

Right. She and her team need to pull her together. To work on fitness (drop about 10-15 pounds!), focus and shot accuracy.

WTA week of 9/26; Parma & Tallinn 250s
Good ol' Italian clay again. Parma draw Sakkari is top seed, Errani will probably win on principle. Tallinn draw I had never heard of Tallinn, Estonia until probably this week. This is on hard, better field than above. Kontaveit & Bencic lead the way. Play begins for both in a little...
