1. WOW! Who is it?

I can't remember the name of the young woman I started to follow after the French. Grrrrr.

Bout time some came around that could give her a run.

2. Bencic from SUI......Halep is dying.....has had two injury time outs......

she's going to win this match....will be a champion. beat some big names....and Martina Hinges is one of coaches.

3. Simona is making a come back, hardly moving though......but just broke her up 6 - 5. eom

[a kennedy]

4. Tie break 2nd set.......eom

[MuseRider]

5. Oh yes, I remember her

but I was thinking of Mugaruza (I hope I spelled that correctly),

I don't hate Serena but am tired of her always winning. Probably because I adore Venus, oh well. This is good news for women's tennis!

7. We've got some great American women coming up the line too.....

It's going to be exciting for years to come......

8. Hope so

kinda still waiting but it gets a little better every year doesn't it?

10. There had damn well better be

lest the women's game become as exciting as the men's since Sampras hung it up, i.e. as exciting as tiddlywinks.

6. Well, they're into a third set.....can not believe Halep.....don't know how she's doing this....

she's off the court.....don't know how she's doing it.....whew.

[a kennedy]

9. Well it's over Samona just retired........

So the 18 year old who beat Serena, won the Roger's Cup.
