Is it possible that NO ONE might win this tournament? And if so can we predict that?

Just when you think you can buy that Mona Barthel stock...

[PyncGyncliacy]

Lucie Hradecka needs every tournament to be on blue clay. She just lost to Mona-slayer Alexandra Panova today....

Was anyone for TAT at the Medina Garrigues vs Cornet match as Cornet won in 2 tiebreaks ?

[qilmuz6v]

It's looking more and more like ASV's decision to leave AMG off of the Spanish Fed Cup team was a good one doesn't it?

I'd love to see Cornet get herself back in the conversation.
