WTA Draw is up:

Curious - have Aga R and Vika been on opposite sides of the draw at any tournament this season? Because once again, they are slated to meet in semis.

What's the official reason for Roddick's skipping? Or is he just using he one free pass?

Roddick has chronic vacationing in Hawaii syndrome around this time every year.

Could Venus' draw possibly be much stinkier?

Looking at where the other Wild Cards are, I think Venus coulda had it worse. At least Pironkova isn't lurking that close to her, I guess

Murray is out - back.


Madrid: Britain's world number four Andy Murray has pulled out of the Madrid Open with a back injury, organisers said on Friday.

A winner of the tournament in 2008 when it was played indoors on a hard court, Murray reached the quarter-finals in 2009 and 2010 on clay court, and was knocked out in the third round last year.

"It is with regret that on doctors' advice I have to withdraw with injury," the 24-year-old said in a statement.

"I always love coming to Madrid so it is a big disappointment. I look forward to returning next year and wish everyone a great week of tennis."

The Scot, whose last match was a quarter-final loss a week ago on clay in Barcelona to Canadian Milos Raonic, informed officials of his situation a day before the men's draw. http://sports.ndtv.com/tennis/news/i...of-madrid-open

That's true. LOL! She's never played Halep, which always makes me nervous. She actually has played Kerber once and beat her in Melbourne of all places. Let's not talk about Na Li.

Given current form, I don't think Na Li will make it far enough in the draw to play Venus.

[CorpoRasion]

Given current form, I don't think Na Li will make it far enough in the draw to play Venus.

Maybe. But if she does, well, we all know how much Venus likes to turn other players' seasons around.
