LOL...
McNally vs Ostapenko.
It's Ostapenko vs Coco's team.
Come on Cathy, send her home. Ask Coco for a few tips.

Who is against McNally? :x
But this is a winnable match for McNally, just pretend it is Serena across the net and crash the net :lol:

LOL, I love that. "just pretend it is Serena across the net and crash the net" ... She gave Serena some cold sweat for a set.

Nice week for me with a lot of interesting players in either Luxemburg or Moscow (interesting for me, that is): Mertens, Van Uytvanck, Bencic, Kasatkina, Ostapenko, Rybakina, Svitolina, Gauff...

Gauff is still too young for me to be sure that will like her game in 3-4 years time, but I enjoyed her SF... dropshotted Petkovic all the time :-). I hope that she never loses that willingness to mix it up totally when she becomes more powerful over time.

Overall, it is really nice to see young players with signifiacant different styles having success. Makes me want to move the clock forward with 5-5 years when they are fully established (Barty, Andreescu, Osaka, Bencic, Anisimova, Rybakina, Gauff,...)

Come on now.. lol lol.. Cori is not going to win every small WTA event she enters. She could easily lose in R1. And that shouldn't overshadow what she's done lately.

Good win for Antonia Lottner over Korpatsch this morning. Went 3 and it was her lst WTA win since April.

Love her game, but she needs to gain weight on that flag pole frame and improve her movement for it's wanting. Remain in disbelief that this talent at age 23 hasn't kissed the top-100 in her career, for her game clearly suggests top-30.

Watching Rybakina at the moment... leading with a double break 4-1... opponent is Paquet, and I acutally never heard of her.
Rybakina in full control so far.

Pacquet is an ITF player. I like her. Too bad she can't get out of the jungle.
