Bepa!

Bepa!

Saw that. Yikes!

Meanwhile, this week is opening up beautifully for Aravane. Seeds getting knocked out (she's now the high seed in her half of the draw with Patty gone) and Aravane has done well here in the past. If I'm counting correctly, there's a chance she could be scratching at, if not inside, the Top 30 with a title this week.

That would be awesome! Me loves me some Aravane!

Unfortunately, being a seed at a lower tier event in the WTA is NOT a good thing these days.

Another player recovering from injury who'll be just fine.

I lost track of her. I thought she already came back from injury once this year. Did she have another?

until she gets another

I lost track of her. I thought she already came back from injury once this year. Did she have another?

Wimbledon was her first tournament back, I believe. Wait, no, Eastbourne.


Checked it - lost to Amelie in hew first match at Eastbourne, then withdrew from third round at Wimbledon. It took her 3 sets to beat Georgie Stoop in R1

[bikersfan]

How on earth has TAT not commented on the name Cagla Buyukakcay yet?
