Some even play doubles and mixed doubles too... they are professional athletes, not precious, weak greenhouse saplings...
Every athlete practices on a daily basis. But obviously the intensity during a practice day will be less than the intensity of a match day.

5 more minutes, and the US Open will start !! :-)

I'm guessing she made a point of mentioning that because everyone doesn't do that.

Belgians happy now?

NEW YORK -- Mona Barthel has pulled out of the U.S. Open because of an injured right foot, allowing 2013 Wimbledon semifinalist Kirsten Flipkens to get into the field.

I have Pliskova as my fmKO and changed it this morning. :(
Should have left it alone. :) She is struggling against Martinicova.

I thought that's what everyone did??
So if you get to the final, you'll have played 14 days in a row. Can't imagine the guys doing that too given their best of 5 format. That's tough.

Grosse,

Either you're playing a match that day or you're practicing!! Nav thinks that routine kept her fit during tournaments!!

Still can't see how Kerber has 3 GS titles, and twice at the expense of Serena.
