ITF WOMEN - SINGLES: Waco (USA), hard

K. Ahn vs S. Mestach 5-0 Ret
Kristie retires while leading 5-0 ... Wonder what happened.. Hope it's not serious, if it's an injury.

Qulifiier Duval in trouble against Buyukakcay 4-6 02
Must be tired after 3 Qualifying matches for a meager 3 points. Tough.

ITF WOMEN - SINGLES: Tokyo (Japan), hard
Buzarnescu keeps winning. The 29-year old returns to tennis after a PHD in physical education seems to have found her groove... She's quiclky reached the top-100, playing a pretty decent tennis.
Current LIVE Ranking: #72, her highest ranking ever. I think she'll hit top-50 next year. She's got to work on the mental side a bit more.

If she wins the whole thing, she'll be ranked right after Sharapova. lol
Would like to see them play in their next WTA R1 match ... :) I think Buzarnescu will win that match.
Without meldo, it's a struggle for the Sugar queen.

Mestach is down 0-5 again .. Is her opponent going to withdraw like yesterday??? lol lol..
Beware. Don't go up 5-0 against this girl.. She's got 9 lives.

At the moment Taylor is schooling Schmeidlova 6-1, 3-0, playing quality tennis. Just happen to look into this on a cool 52 degree day in Waco.

Taylor finishes the 2nd set at 6-0. Nice win.

Off topic:

Not keeping up with the rankings at all, rarely do. Yet, was on twitter today and noticed the selfie pick of the 8 players playing the London Championships next week. Lo and behold to my amazement, obscure in the background was the forehead of Jack Sock. Sock in the top-10? Had to look it up and, yes, he's ranked at the 9th spot. C'mon......

Coco in the top-10 for the ladies......please......

Murray out for half a year
Djokovic out for half a year
Wawrinka injured for months
Nishikori injured for months
Raonic constantly injured in 2017
Age catching up with Berdych, Ferrer and Tsonga

If you then have the draw opening up for you and you win an ATP1000 finals vs Krajinovic.... well, 1000 points is about 35% of the points needed to get into the Top10...

Irrespective of those players being out for the year, didn't think Sock was top-25, let alone top-10. His record shows that he won 3 titles this year.....Paris and 2 250ks. Hardly stellar and he was out of the top-25 last year. Oh well...... Nice for him.....
