OOP...Monday....TorontoVery good slate for opening day at Toronto: MONDAY, AUGUST, 07, 2017 COURT TIME PLAYER OPPONENT SCORES Centre Court Starts At 11:00 am France Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) Czech Republic Barbora Strycova (CZE) - Centre Court Not Before 1:00 pm United States Varvara Lepchenko (USA) Latvia Jelena Ostapenko (LAT) - Centre Court Followed By Spain Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) Czech Republic Petra Kvitova (CZE) - Centre Court Not Before 7:00 pm Romania Irina-Camelia Begu (ROU) United States Venus Williams (USA) - Centre Court Followed By Czech Republic Lucie Safarova (CZE) Canada Francoise Abanda (CAN) - Grandstand Starts At 11:00 am Russia Daria Kasatkina (RUS) Italy Roberta Vinci (ITA) - Grandstand Followed By Slovak Republic Dominika Cibulkova (SVK) Ukraine Lesia Tsurenko (UKR) - Grandstand Not Before 5:00 pm Kazakhstan Yulia Putintseva (KAZ) United States Sloane Stephens (USA) - Grandstand Followed By Czech Republic Katerina Siniakova (CZE) Colombia Mariana Duque-Mariño (COL) - Court 1 Starts At 11:00 am Australia Daria Gavrilova (AUS) Spain Lara Arruabarrena (ESP) - Court 1 Followed By Croatia Ana Konjuh (CRO) Belgium Kirsten Flipkens (BEL) - Court 1 Followed By United States Lauren Davis (USA) Latvia Anastasija Sevastova (LAT) - Court 4 Starts At 11:00 am Japan Naomi Osaka (JPN) Great Britain Heather Watson (GBR) - Court 4 Followed By United States Sachia Vickery (USA) I looked at potential R2 matches, and that resulted in no less than 13 matches (out of 16) that would be well worth to watch. We could get: Pliskova vs Pav's Kerber vs Vekic/Bouchard Putintseva vs Kvitova Cibulkova vs Safarova Makarova vs Konta Svitolina vs Kasatkina (finally back in action - both of them) Siniakova vs Venus Vesnina vs Dodin/Barty Konjuh vs Muguruza Kuzzy vs Bellis Garcia vs Ostapenko Mladenovic vs Gavrilova Keys vs Halep "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re:OOP...Monday....Toronto<font color=brown>@ <b>rex</b>:</font> There goes my fmKO-opportunity (Halep)... If you cannot play two events in a row when you win the first, then PLEASE do not bother entering an International or a Premier the week before a major event.

lol at Lepchenko. She allowed Ostapenko to come back from 2-5 down in the 3rd to win. Last edited by Grossefavourite on Aug Mon 07, 2017 3:55 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re:OOP...Monday....Toronto<font color=brown>@ <b>Graveller</b>:</font> What can one say, Grav'? These girls today aren't capable of playing back-to-back events after reaching the final of the previous event. 95% of the time they'll either lose, withdraw or retire ere or in the lst match of the next week. Happens oft.....
After being inactive for more than a month (hopefully she managed to recover from all her injury issues), Kasatkina started with a close 7-6 7-6 win vs Vinci. Back on the right track. Next two matches are Svitolina and (likely) Venus. And if she would get through, then it could be QF Muguruza, SF Halep, F Pliskova Not gonna happen, I know, "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" |
