The best you can do is stand on the podium as the Polish anthem is played.
June 20, 20241 yr Keys was surprisingly solid on clay this year, but yeah I’m not mad at the selections

Men’s Top 4: Taylor Fritz Tommy Paul Ben Shelton Korda or Tiafoe* *depending on position the Monday after the French Open Final. Korda OR Tiafoe, but not both. My guess is that these opt outs are due to: 1) The Surface 2) No Prize Money 3) Losing Out On REST/RANKINGS POINTS. With Da’ Bitches, everyone is playing for Silver & Bronze, unless you meet up with Iga before the Semis. I was hoping that Navarro would edge out Keys, but Madison had a very solid clay court season. Maybe she has played the Olympics before, but this is his last chance to play them. She won’t make the 2028 LA roster. I think that you won’t see any American opt outs four years from now.

I was thinking that she might have just thought… “I don’t feel like waiting for this rain delay and the fucked up schedule that will follow. I’m out of here and will start again next week on a normal schedule.” But I don’t know anything about it.
June 21, 20241 yr Author She quit after 4 games. Rain didn’t come until the decider of JPeg/Siniakova.
June 23, 20241 yr Author JPeg up a set & 3-1 in the second breaker on Coco, winner gets Kalinskaya for the Berlin crown. Weather looks fine. Putintseva v. Tomljanovic in Birmingham, Ajla looking for her maiden title.

Then Pegula pegged Kalinskaya in a 3rd set tie-breaker to win the trophy, but Kalinskaya looked delicious, so she was a winner too. This would have been Kalinskaya’sbfirst title ever on the WTA tour. Curiously, this is only Pegula’s 5th title ever. For someone who has been #3 in the world, I kind of thought that she would have more titles.

June 24, 20241 yr Author Sofia got fucking demolished, 1 & 0 in Eastbourne qualies, but now she’s in R2 because Elena did what Elena does.

June 27, 20241 yr Author There’s a pretty damn attractive player in each matchup with maybe the exception of the rain-interrupted one.
June 27, 20241 yr Author Dart/Boulter/Raducanu all slaughtered today. Siniakova & Muchova withdrew, Caro quit against Navarro.

It would suck to be a tournament director for a tournament held the week before a major and watch players quit in the quarterfinals because they feel like they’ve gotten what they needed out of the tournament.

It’s literally been since before she was born that there was a Russian backed Romanian dictator ruling in Romania, unless the old ways are back. Anna Kournikova has a Grand Slam doubles title to go along with other doubles titles, but she never won a single WTA singles title, so winning in a retirement is better than nothing. Spoiler
July 29, 20241 yr Author Washington DC will be more interesting than the women in Paris. Draw Paula v. Sofia & Sloane v. Amanda in R1. Peyton could face Emma in R2. And Genie is playing doubles with Sloane.
July 30, 20241 yr Author Amanda up a set & break on Sloane now. Weather pushed everything back, so plenty of good seats still available.

July 30, 20241 yr Author Mid-afternoon for Sloane & Genie tomorrow, we'll see how much give a shit SS has then.
