Noted that no one picked Kvitova...
#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl#Why would that be surprising, given that Petra hasn't played a match this year, is returning from an assault that could've preempted her career, was unsure that she would participate up to 2 days ago and with no match play, doubts about her being physically ready to compete? Likely, participants considered some if not all of those factors, for it's the only reasons why Petra isn't on my team. Now, that I've seen that she's ready, willing and able to play, she'll definitely be on my Wimby team, as well as Vika. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Re the Skan contest, what "is" surprising is that only one person selected Angie for their team, a player ranked "numero uno", which must be a lst in the Skan's history.#ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Wow, so happy for Bukakcay .. Finally she wins a match. lol#ed_op#br#ed_cl#I have Baroni in my team but still happy.. She was last in my team so it doesn't hurt. My team is still fine.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Buyukakcay needed a win badly. Glad she gone one. Mission accomplished !!!!#ed_op#br#ed_cl#She can bail out in her next match. :)

Kvitova was on a roll before her injury, and the rest of the top 10 is in shambles.
I expected at least a few of her fans to have taken the risk

Didn't know Lucic withdrew from Strasbourg due to injury... Would not have selected her for the Skan.

So, given those circumstance f#ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#span class="postbody"#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl#ans of Petra are just being reasonable in their non-selection for the Skan, just as fans of Angie and Andy (only 3participants selected him for their team) are being reasonable in not selecting 2 #1 ranked players for their team, given how badly ineffective they've been this year, taking into consideration recent match play, or in Petra's case no match play at all and lingering suspicion regarding her readiness. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div class="itanywhere-activator" title="Google Translator Anywhere" style="left: 896px; top: 170px; display: none;"#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl#

I picked Baroni. I was the only one.. I didn't know she withdrew from Strasbourg due to injuries. :(#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Agree that selecting Kerber made no sense.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Done ... In the old days, this was not allowed.. But about 3 years ago, we changed the rules to show more flexibility. LaughinCavalier is one of the prominent victims. :( He will come screaming bloody murder. lol lol#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
