Vika dismisses Konta 4 and 2.
Maybe she’s the best challenger for Nole.
hahaha best challenger for Nole…
Stop it, ?
Who’s your pick? Who do you like versus Vika?
Kerber or Keyes?
Kerber all the way.
#NID
But Vika gonna beat either of them.
Kerber wins easy peasy.
Congrats to Me.
Congrats to you Hawkstradamus – you really are good?.
Wow this kerber azarenka match is actually really good. I was rooting for kerber but azarenka just won. Very high quality match.
outrageous. Absurd. Incredible.
hahahaha …so nice to see you guys, Ricky/Benny, here enjoying the match!
Absolutely jaw-dropping 2nd set from Kerber and Azarenka! Was hoping that Angie could get it to a 3rd set.
Vika v Sveta!! Sveta is in full warrior mode too.
Miami Final
Sveta or Vika?
Who ya got?
Vika. By a lot.
Vika ftw
I think Vika is looking better and better with each match. This is where it stops for Sveta.
Miami Final: (8) Victoria Azarenka v (19) Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Their h2h is 4-4. Most of Svetlana’s wins over Vika were early in Vika’s career. That said, if this was clay I might pick Sveta. Both have been impressive getting to the final. Both have chalked up wins over Serena Williams recently — but Vika has been a little more impressive. Hope Svetlana can keep it interesting and stretch this match to 3 sets.
I’m torn on choosing between these two. I have followed Kuznetsova for some ten years through all her ups and downs. Love her game. She may not have that many more opportunities to be in a Masters final so my heart is ruling my head and I’ll be rooting for her. I also admire the way Sveta has fought her way back into form so I’ll not be unhappy to see her with the trophy. Either way this promises to be a juicy match.
Vika wins easily and didnt surrender a single set all week.
Hadn’t been a fan with her loud wailing but what a comeback she’s made. A real contender at the French!
Respect.
I lost my dish connection and couldn’t watch it. But the score looked like an easy win for Vika — she has the Miami/IW double. And she’ll be up to #5, I think.
Hoping Garbine Muguruza doesn’t get too discouraged after that incredible match and loss to Vika. She could be great at the French and Wimbledon. We need her too!
It’s great that Vika will be up to #5. This is a great accomplishment for her. Winning the I/W and Miami double! Well done!
I missed the final, but didn’t expect it to be much of a contest.
I do hope that Mugu will continue to play well and get even better. She’s got the game.
I had to miss the final too so I’m trying to find time to watch on catch-up. Thought it would be a much tighter match. I’m guessing Sveta fell into her usual trrap of over-playing on the big and racking up too many UEs.
typo: on the key points…..etc
Congrats to Lucie Safarova and Bethanie Mattek-Sands winning Miami Doubles. Happy to see they are playing Charleston this week.
Both singles and doubles draws look great in Charleston. Charleston is a 470 point event!
Singles:

Doubles:

Kerber, V. Williams, Bencic, Keys, Stephens, Petkovic, Safarove and Errani are the top seeds in singles
Katowice – a 280 point event:
Aga Radwanska is finally taking a break for her ailing right shoulder. The singles draw is a little thin with out her. But I still like it.

Truth…
“I feel like I’ve seen it all. But in reality, I haven’t. I live in a privileged world in which the idea of equality is actually entertained. For a majority of women in the world, issues of female infanticide and domestic violence trump simple issues of pay and respect. But when are we going to get to a place as a global community where disrespect and lack of opportunity are no longer the problems reserved for fortunate women?
In the meantime, Billie Jean King tells me that I have a platform, so I plan to use it. Because I, for one, would love for my future daughter to fight for a game down 6-1 2-0 because she hates getting bageled, not because she’s worried that a bagel might undermine her right to equality.”

Nicole Gibbs says she received messages from male players backing Raymond Moore’s sexist remarks http://es.pn/1qncAeH
#PartOfTheProblem
Each time I see the clip of Raymond Moore’s cringe making performance it makes my flesn crawl. He is a creepy, unpleasant MCP with a drink problem.

Poor Caroline Garcia has over 4,000 filthy comments on her Facebook page. It’s not been a great day for the Internet from my POV. Out.
I don’t know what Caroline Garcia is supposed to have said which provoked such a violent reaction from haters although I gather she was being accused of making a rascit comment. It seems obligatory for just about everybody in the public eye to use the social media as a tool to communicate with their public. Sadly it also becomes a double edged weapon in the hands of a disgruntled public baying for blood.
Gypsy b*tch – is what the gossips claimed and found to be completely untrue. She didn’t say it.
yup
Katowice Quarterfinals:
Jelena Ostapenko continues her march to the sea with a 3 set win over Timea Babos. Ostapenko surprises me. My pick was the more experienced Babos in a tight clash.
Flipkins over Giorgi
Home favorite, Linette over veteran, Parmentier
Cibulkova over Schiavone
Charleston QF’s all look good! Will only pick Kerber – the other’s are too tough to call for me!
Kerber over Begu
Stephens v Kasatkina
Siegemund v Vesnina
Errani v Putintseva
Katowice SF Saturday. Tennis Channel says it will broadcast this:
Ostapenko v Giorgi. Gonna be a good ???
Cibulkova v Parmentier.
My picking grade for the day: 2/6
Sunday Finals
Charleston
Stephens over Vesnina
Doubles – Mattek-Sands/Safarova over Garcia/Mladenovic
Katowice
Cibulkova over Giorgi
Camila has been playing well this week but she’s had a tougher time getting to this point than Dominika. Guessing Dominika will have more left for the final but I could be underestimating Camila!
Congrats to Dominika Cibulkova for winning Katowice! Great 1st set but heartbreaking loss for Camila Giorgi – this was her 3rd runner-up in Katowice: 2015 loss to Anna Schmiedlova; 2014 loss to Alize Cornet.
The results will get both players into the top mid-thirties!
Stephens-Vesnina is into a cliff-hanger tie-break. Both girls playing some amazing tennis.
After failing to take the TB Vesnina seemed to lose the will to fight back until Stephens was serving for the match when a last ditch rally from Vesnina caused Stephens to need four attempts to clinch the match.
Great win for Sloane.
Just in time for Roland Garros…

This just in: @ITF_Tennis says the case involving @MariaSharapova “will proceed to a hearing in accordance with WADA’s recommendations.”
