Halep is tired and Bardosa is limping...what a joke...
I told you , wait for Badosa to withdraw in her next match or retire
Badosa d Halep 16 64 63
Halep being a GS champion will recieve unlimited WCs to any tournaments she wants to play, UGH!

Hey Tossip,

I dont think you have heard the tragic news, which I posted yesterday on the WTA News,
'Saba's long time boyfriend, took his own life and jumped off a hotel balcony he was in Miami to support Saba
Saba says she is still playing, but wont be giving press conferences.

I saw Darren Cahill on court with the Doper yesterday, she better not try to lure Cahill away from coaching Sinner, I dont trust her, Cahill will get my 'wrath' if that happens!
Wow..so sad for Saba.Thats the worst thing that can happen to anybody.I hope Saba has lovedones around her to comfort her in this time of need.
Thank goodness Badosa took the trash out.She played good but lost...well she came back because Cahill and his friends advocated on her behalf.I hope players play her hard such that she retires early

Dope fiend couldn't even beat a hampered Paula who she owned on the tour before her ban. That doesn't bode well for her vs the rest of the tour who are healthy
Very good point cos Badosa's back has been in bits for a long time. Be nice to see Swiatek double bagel her ass.

Sloane Stephens playing well, won the 1st set over Kerber 62, though Kerber dosent look well to me, maybe it is the back injury she sustained in IW is giving her grief ( match with Wozniacki)
Stephens d Kerber 62 63, Sloane improves her h2h against Kerber 6-2, likes the match up
Sloane plays Cristea next.
More importantly Happy 31st Birthday Sloane!

Aryna Sabalenka v Paula Badosa's match will be played on Friday instead of Thursday .Tournament giving her another day before taking the court.

I put this news on the WTA News and Gossip earlier,
Koltsova's ex wife thinks he didnt commit suicide, rather that he got very drunk and accidentally fell off the balcony.Empty bottles of alcohol were found in his room.
I have put the full interview from Yulia, Koltsova's ex wife on the WTA News and Gossip post

Reason for Barbora Krejcikova withdrawal, she contracted a respiratory infection on her way to Miami ( her back injury has healed)
