A shame that was the highlight of Tsonga's tournament. :snicker

Venus/Ana warming up on TTC.

 

[kskate2]

Venus gone. Cibby gone. Flavia survives another 3 setter.

 

[Kirijax]

Venus gone. Cibby gone. Flavia survives another 3 setter.

To be honest, I didn't expect much from Venus here. I'm surprised she even showed up. Let the poor woman take a break!

Me either. She probably didn't want to withdraw and face a fine.

Thanks for the updates, hoergren! Too bad about Bencic. The ladies are breaking down left and right in an alarming rate. We might have Pavlyuchenkova, Schmiedlova and Bacsinzsky playing at the WTA Championships at this rate.

 

[tossip]

Venus deserved a break...I want her to have a good ranking next year...hopefully top ten.Ana has always lost to Venus so a win must be a confidence booster for ADJE.

 

[tossip]

just surprised by Muguruza ..she is running down everrything and yet in Wuhan final she denied Venus a proper win...anyway h2h 3-0 and the media tried to diminish Venus win.
Venus owns Ana and Muguruza 12-3...

 

[tossip]

Petkovic must be bummed because the Asian swing has been a financial disaster....first round losses in all three events entered.She better address those ballbashing tactics in the off season because they aint working....no wonder she racially insulted the chinese fans...#frustrated..lol

 

[kskate2]

Caro is being crushed by Kerbie 6-2, 4-0 :speechless:

 

[Hoergren]

Yeah Caro is out but it's a matter of confidence and commitment I'm afraid

Sveta historically plays well at this event and can win this thing...

 

[kskate2]

BMS up a break on Vinci in the decider 3-1

BMS comes through. Flavia is into her 3rd consecutive 3-setter against Pavs.
