Looks like all the Ruskies dropped out

I counted;

-7 Ruskies

-2 BelaRuskies

-??? Qualifiers …still in the draw, not counting Ruskies playing under the Kazakhstan 🇰🇿.

Disappointed that an inform Sloane has to play Naomi in the first round. That sucks.

They removed the (RUS) next to their names on the draw 

Welcome to last week!

In other news…

Mouratoglou could no longer be Serena Williams' coach!

 

The incredible rumor comes from The Coach's Instagram profile: Mouratoglou has removed Serena Williams' coach from his Instagram profile

https://www.tennisworldusa.org/amp_tennis/news/Serena_Williams/110354/mouratoglou-could-no-longer-be-serena-williams-coach/

Sofia Kenin with the wildcard against a pretty in-form doubles specialist Haddad Maua from Brazil.

She needs to win a match. She hasn't won jack squat in a long time.

Hailey Baptiste also with the wild card. She's probably still pissed about the chair umpire in Mexico calling a double bounce when she got to the ball in plenty of time (6" or more) and I think would have won the point on her hit. I would be furious, because it's not challengeable. That makes no fucking sense.

Some event tonight according to the ads. (I forgot that it was Tuesday here for a bit.)

And she's donating a portion of the winnings to the Ukrainian fund. Sweet lady

It's gotta be weird for Anisimova, the American born baby of a Russian family. (Parents + older sister born in Russia.) They got out when you could and now they can watch the shit show that's happening. (Kenin is probably also feeling awkward, but she wasn't in this event.)

Nice of her to donate some of her winnings. I'm guessing that there's an uneasiness in the locker room this week when Russian, Belarusian, or Russian-born Kazakstanis (?) are around. (Even Anisimova & Kenin.) Not sure what to say or not say, who may have family affected. And that doesn't even touch on Yastremska having spent two nights in a parking garage avoiding bombs and who is in town, likely with her 15 year-old sister in tow, not sure if she'll ever see her parents again. 

Then there are the many Russian-born men as well as all of those with Russian parents (and thus, relatives in Russia). Four seeded men's players are Russian, one (Bublik) is Russian but plays for Kazakstan, a Russian-born "Kazakstani" is in the opening match on Court 3 today (Wednesday), but the Men's Tour doesn't have the Ukrainian representation that the WTA has.

Shitty part of IW is you’re fucking stuck with TC’s choice if you don’t subscribe to their +. My reliable stream site has been down recently, will have to find an alternative.

Dayana gets some much+needed time off. 

I don’t know if that’s a good thing. 

There’s nothing that she can do other than just freak out and watch the news & social media 24/7 if she doesn’t have matches to focus on.

I think that winning help her compartmentalize and limited the time she could allow herself to focus on the war.

Sloane vs Naomi has started. 

TURN IT ON QUICKLY !

…because this match isn’t going to last long with Naomi standing 5 feet inside the baseline on Sloane’s 2nd serve. 

It is very windy on their court.

Quite the kit on Naomi. 

She is taking up Serena’s mantel of sausage stuffed into a ridiculous casing*. 

As soon as I posted, Sloane broke back & held, so we may have a match here. Pulling for Sloane today. 
 

*FULL DISCLOSURE: 

Naomi has a long way to go to look like a Serena the last 5-10 years, but she does have a build that could pick on 20+ lbs over a 3 week window.

Amanda Anisimova has taken the court with full mascara (or fake lashes and a very jiggly uppercourt game tonight. 👀

Though somewhat cloaked by a black cloth top, the camera is zooming to a shot that crop just below her shoulder tops so as not to distract the viewer. Not unlike cropping Elvis shots to above the waist when he would wiggle on the Ed Sullivan show. 

First 9 games of the match:

Mugu: 9 / Riske: 0


Remaining 13 games of the match:

Mugu: 1 / Riske: 12

 

That is so funny, I am sorry that I missed it. 
 

Re: Mini Yastremska 

She played doubles with Dayana in Lyon on a wildcard as well. They lost in the first round. 

It is nice of the WTA to support these girls. Wonder where they will base themselves after the CA/FL 🇺🇸 swing.

Watching Tennis Channel now and that Dart 🇬🇧 girl just hit a redirected shot up the line off of Svitolina’s crosscourt return that was reminiscent of the shorts that Raducanu repeatedly smoked in last year’s US Open. 

Korda was up a double break in the 3rd, and it looks like he's going to lose the match now. This is about to be the 3rd match in a month where he was serving for it and lost

He needs to get a transfusion from his sister(s) and get some of that ice in his veins.

Amanda was serving for it @ 5-4, 40-0 against Leylah, 5 of the nastiest misses you’ll ever see get us level. 


Cahill told her earlier this week that he couldn’t continue as her coach.
