Hey, almost all of the day's matches are finished, and no one's posted yet? What's going on, no one's a fan of tennis anymore?

Right. It seems odd, with the end of Wimbledon still bright in everyone's memory, but 15 of the WTA's top 37 players are back in action this week, between this tournament and Budapest. Talk about playing in anonymity.

Draws are decent considering Wimbledon just ended. 16 out of the Top 40 headlined by Wozniacki and Cibulkova in Bastad. Some ATP players have Davis Cup this weekend.

We're like bears. We just ate our body weight in tennis and now we're all comatose in various caves.

I'm confused about Suarez Navarro. Is she going up, or does she seem to be stalling into one of those perennial top 50 players?

All these players lost early, except for Wozniacki, who is the tour's new Jelena Jankovic. I'm suprised Pennetta is playing here when there's a perfectly good clay court tournament happening just on the other side of Europe.

Pennetta, Cibulkova are still alive.

Yup perennial top 50.

Pennetta has a bizarrely huge number of points to defend on US hard courts, so I guess she's prepping for that.

Is there any way we could merge this with the Budapest thread?

Sorry, I meant they lost early at Wimbledon.

At best, CSN is a perennial top 50. I wouldn't be surprised if she were out of the top 100 in a year or two. I don't see anything in her game that looks promising longterm--she's too slight, she doesn't hit big enough, and she seems very streaky mentally.

I think she'll stick around. She plays big at big events (two grand slam QFs), so she's sort of a poor man's Serena. She also won three more games off Venus at Wimbledon than the world #1 did ().
