Petko practicing at New Haven. So glad to see her back - the WTA needs more players with personality, and ability to draw fans.

That's an shockingly tough draw in general, but especially for Wozniacki, The Empress Of New Haven.

2. Nicole Gibbs vs. Garbiñe Muguruza (Singles Q Final; NB 13.30hrs)

It's nice to see the NCAA champ and young up-and-comer both win a few rounds. I'll be rooting for whoever ends up in the main draw.

[sandracuk]

Nice to see Alexa Glatch qualify, too. She seemed like she had some potential before her injury.

[fuesquemill]

Dushevina lost to Govortsova today in the final qualifying round. Now she is back in as a lucky loser, to play Govortsova again tomorrow. They are also due to play doubles together against Huber/Raymond

Oudin also back in as a LL.

::

Bartoli and Robson had 18 double faults between them today (12 for Marion). Good for the Maid to play the person who is almost serving as badly as she is.

Radwanska playing here with a sore shoulder the week before the US Open. #badideajeans

WHY didn't she take the week off, and give it a rest?

[sandracuk]

Looks like Kerber pulled out. Lucic is playing a LL now.

[ViagraFeller]

Kerber's WD should really help Wozniacki's chances for a ridiculous fifth title here.

Nice to see Petkovic and Gibbs win.

Kerber was scheduled to play Dallas. Radwanska is the top seed.

I stand by what I said!!!! How dare you!? There's a shifting in the astral plane that helps Wozniacki.
