Has anyone ever seen Coco play? Her name has been getting out there, and I've seen/read some stuff, but I've never seen anything other than a YouTube posting. She's 16 now, has been in a couple of WTA main draws, and I'm curious if she's a lot of hype or a potential star.

Unless things change in the next 2 years, answer is hype.

I've seen her!

She was at Eastbourne.

Tall girl. Think Vaidisova, but with Andy Murray ankles.

they took the draw off the WTA Tour website, I would swear I saw it there yesterday! Maybe Serena withdrew and they're making changes to it?

I still see the draw on the WTA tour website at the moment.

It took forever for the draw to come out as it is. It was out yesterday.

Indeed, it did. At least, the qualifiers were placed when the draw was released.

I'm thinking it may be a problem with my computer. The 'this week' section is still showing Stanford and Bad Gastein, the 'news' section is still showing items that are one week old... It happened too with the Wimbledon site a couple of weeks ago... strange.

Latisha is putting an old-fashioned beat down on Aravane.

This could really be the start of a great summer outdoor season for Chan. She showed us at PLO@IW that she can play some good hardcourt tennis, and she isn't defending anything until after the US Open. She'll play Azarenka if she wins today - they played last year at San Diego, and Azarenka won, but Latisha took a set off her.

As some of you already know, let me join the club of Danielle lovers. And what a pro! You should hire her full time. http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...lies/smile.png

That's Danielle as in TAT, not as in Hantuchova, correct?


We do love her, Bea. Tell her she rocks, from all of us PLO'ers.
