No 1 seed Swiatek 61 64 over Wang

The mama bears didn't fair well in this altitude. 4 out in R1: Naomi, Woz, Tatiana, Svito

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Regarding the Ons match, where she came through in 3 sets,
There were 14 breaks of serve? Ons was on the verge of tears or crying several times during the match?
Ons will play Fernandez next, quite frankly I cant see Ons winning that match up

 

[tossip]

Both Scone and Lil Bit serving for their matches

If Scone continues on this winning lane she might be seeded at RG.I hate to see her going out in the first round to say Siegmund.She deserves a second slam especially at RG.

Lil Bit must make her run...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lil Bit must make her run...

Yes, I think she will, Ons is mentally and physically gone, she needs to take a break from tennis, though she decides to play on usually going out in the 1st or 2nd round matches.

She should play more doubles, because her conditioning has seemingly improved.Scone is a very good player that deserves more slams.

Sloane has never really liked to train, Sloane plays well on the clay, doubles will also help her singles play

Order of Play for Friday, April 26, 2024

 

[kskate2]

Making that final last week has allowed Magda to get off the mat. Girlfriend was circling the drain and now all of a sudden is challenging good folks again. Takes the 2nd set against Saba.

Memo to Saba, where has your form gone girl? She is seriously out there imitating an UFE machine.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Goodness me there has been 'carnage' for the seeds so far today/night
Kalinskaya (24), Kostyuk (25) Kalinina (30) Noskova (29) also Krejcikova (22) looks like she is going out as well, yep Krejcikova gonsky
Zheng (6) retired in her match (leg injury), Alexandrova (14) Boulter (26)
Katie Boutler (26) was in control of her match 1st set 61 and then? well done to WC Robin Montgromery winning 16 63 64

The bottom half of the draw is quite open!

Players coming from Stuttgart, indoors, also smaller clay tournaments, are finding it difficult to adjust to conditions in Madrid, with its high altitude, you have to be able to 'control the ball' for starters.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Danielle Rose Collins (13) Dont you dare lose this match to Danilovic, there has been 'enough carnage today in the WTA seeds flying out the door"
Going 3 sets now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Danilovic was serving for the match 5-4 gee she can join Kostyuk in the 'drama stakes' Collins broke back, 5 all 3rd set,

I think Banshee is burnt out. Probably needed another week and should've just played Rome and RG

Probably, she needs to watch her serve in these conditions she has been DF a lot
Danilovic will serve to force a TB for the 3rd set and the match
TB it is

And it goes to TB. I hope Collins wins!

Hopefully she can control her serve.she has been DF a lot in these conditions

She's fried. Not as fresh and so not as focused on her technique. Fortunately for her, it looks like this poor gal will donate this TB
