MagentaRocks,
savannahstennis, Stearns took the first set 7-6(2) over Sabalenka #wta #tennis #bnpparibasopen2024
emarktaylor, @savannahstennis #Tennis @tennis
Sabalenka had only played one match since the AO (the loss to Vekic).
She seemed to play herself back into a bit of form in that 2nd set.
savannahstennis, Ons down 0-5 to...lemme check...Andreeva. Were there any reports of her being injured?
savannahstennis,
dillonmok, @MagentaRocks @savannahstennis @tennis Had a feeling Andreeva might cause Jabeur trouble but didn’t think it would be this bad… #tennis
savannahstennis, Whoever designed the kit Collin’s is wearing should be given a good talking to. #wta
emarktaylor, @savannahstennis #Tennis @tennis
She won't be allowed into Wimbledon looking like a Knickerbocker Glory.
savannahstennis, I don’t care if you have a lingerie fetish that involves ladies garments from the 1800’s but keep that mess to yourself. Sheesh
savannahstennis, Alexandrova looked in total control but Siegemund has now leveled the third set at 4 all after being behind 2-4.
emarktaylor, @savannahstennis @tennis #Tennis
I have had it on a side monitor.
Nobody seems to have been able to hold a break
emarktaylor, @savannahstennis @tennis #Tennis
Fitting that both of them are wearing Thigh Bandages of Death.
nikunashi,
emarktaylor, Yep - surprised that Bouzkova dealt to her In Auckland in her second match back - but Samsonova isn't really scaring anybody anymore.
So I agree with your "No idea where this one is going to go" take.
nikunashi, @tennis Anyone catch why Vondrousova pulled out?
nikunashi, Hip injury sounds very not great ahead of AO. Hopefully nothing serious.
l0ve30, @emarktaylor @nikunashi @tennis lot of those are precautionary. Hopefully that's what this is for vondrousova as well.
nikunashi, Stephens might yet survive!
emarktaylor, @nikunashi @tennis I thought she looked quite good at times in her Auckland matches
nikunashi, Still no excuse for Sloane to have lost though. She's just allergic to Australia.
lauteshirn, German Angie hat ihr 1. Match nach ihrem Comeback gewonnen!

nikunashi, Women's doubles direct entry list for #AusOpen:
https://www.tennis.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/AO-2024-womens-doubles-list.pdf
Confirms a lot of the speculation around new teams for 2024.
Notable absence: Leylah Fernandez. I'm guessing (hoping) by choice given her ranking.
calbearo, @nikunashi @tennis
Very interesting, especially amongst the top teams. Both Siniakova and Krejikova will continue playing doubles - both of their pairings look formidable. The return of Hseih/Mertens! Further down, Pliskova/Vekic was not a pair I would have expected to see entering.
On the whole, also quite surprised of the overwhelming number of international pairings in an Olympic year.
MagentaRocks,
MagentaRocks, Fast match. Dolehide is moving to the Final.
emarktaylor, If she serves like that in the final she'll get killed by Garcia or Sakkari.
But stranger things have happened.
nikunashi, 5-0* Leylah will have to dig pretty deep to get out of this one.
johnefrancis, @nikunashi I turned away for 15m to eat It's my fault. I'm back on the couch now so things will go better.
nikunashi,
emarktaylor, Parks is an error machine today.

jeffowski, Hall of Famers Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova are calling on the women’s tennis tour to stay out of Saudi Arabia, saying that holding the WTA Finals there “would represent not progress, but significant regression.”
