The odds-makers like Serena Williams to win the U.S. Open, followed by Venus Williams and Dinara Safina.
Chris Evert holds the record for the most successive U.S. Open wins by a woman--6. She holds second place for the most wins of all time, and the record for most wins in the Open Era--9.
Tatiana Golovin has withdrawn from the U.S. Open.
Elena Bovina won the GHI Bronx Tennis Classic on Sunday, defeating Anna-Lena Groenefeld, 6-3, 7-5 (after being down 3-5 in the second set). How strange is it to talk about these two playing in a Bronx challenger?
Both Yuliana Fedak and Ayumi Morita have failed to get through the first round of U.S. Open qualifying.
The Lacoste 75th anniversary "Let's re-invent the future" television ad is too depressing to watch. Getting rid of wooden racquets was bad enough.
Groenefeld has been my favourite player on tour for a few years now, and I agree, in 2005/06 i would never have thought she would be back in the challengers. But this year she has moved from 436 to 142 in the rankings and has won 4 itf tournaments and made the bronx final! So i'm hoping she qualifies for the US so she can make her way back to the top 100!
ReplyDeleteGroenefeld, from what I understand, had quite a few emotional issues to sort out, especially regarding her coach. She looked quite bloated for a while, then she looked rail-thin. One hopes she is healthy again.
