It would be awesome if they actually made Serena play qualies, but they won't

[Brinyi]

Shouldn't this be in Grand Slams?

[DBBN]

Maybe?

[shenaynay]

ALINKA~! I thought she was retired... glad to see that pearl return.

GO STARRY CANDLE HEAD!!!!

Oh, never mind. Candle Head is only on the hopeless "Q Next-In" list.

It appears she's playing the Hammond, LA 50K this week. I don't know if this is her first event back.

Serena Williams will need wild card for U.S. Open

July 20, 2006

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) -- Two-time winner Serena Williams has entered the U.S. Open, but will need a wild-card spot for the main draw because she is ranked 139th.

Williams, the U.S. Open winner in 1999 and 2002, had been sidelined with a left knee injury for six months. She made her comeback this week at an Ohio tournament.

If necessary, the USTA said it will give her a wild-card spot.

Williams will be one of a record seven former champions in the field, joining sister Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport, Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin-Hardenne, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Martina Hingis.

The U.S. Open is Aug. 28-Sept. 10 in New York.

[janie]

Err, if Serena doesn't deserve a main draw wild card here, who does?

[janie]

Of course, I think they should give a wild card to Candle Head, but i think they'll pick Serena over her.

[Brinyi]

Yes! Let's lobby for Candle Head with a deluge of e-mails to the USTA!

[DBBN]

janie said:

Err, if Serena doesn't deserve a main draw wild card here, who does?

If she's so damn good, she should play qualies and walk into the MD, and give someone without eight bazillion dollars a thrill.

[shenaynay]

But that would ruin the dreams for anyone in Silliams' quali section.

And whatever young American scrub who would have got the WC, would be better off playing qualies, anyway.

Or, if it's Stevenson, may they all rot.

I really doubt Stevenson will get a main draw WC -- she kept losing in the first round of all the Slams all the time, didn't she, aside from that one fluky Wimbledon -- but she's sure to get a qualy WC over someone who deserves one. I hope she draws someone solid who can put her out of her misery on the first day.

[shenaynay]

With the 7 remaining WC's, I think Alex has a decent shot at getting. Or, is it 6... I thought the NCAA champ gets one, but maybe because it was a Czech girl who won last year, that it was dropped. Racist country we live in.

We have a dearth of young scrubs in the US now.

[Pamela Shriver]

Stevenson will get at least a Q WC.

[janie]

shenaynay said:

With the 7 remaining WC's, I think Alex has a decent shot at getting.

No way. Alexandra has played 7 first-round matches at the US Open, playing every year from 1998 to 2004 -- and she's lost ALL SEVEN TIMES. She really, really stinks.

But yes, she will get her qualy wild card because she's famous (sort of), and because the USTA will fear Samantha raising a stink if her baby girl doesn't get in. But if she does make her way to the main draw, she will lose again, most likely retiring from the match.

[DBBN]

If Stevenson wanted to play the USO, she should have taken her one chance to use her SR to enter a Slam there, but she instead used it at Wimbledon, because she likes W more. That plus her years of general uselessness should be enough to give her the old heave-ho. But they won't, because people kind of know her.

[shenaynay]

No way. Alexandra has played 7 first-round matches at the US Open, playing every year from 1998 to 2004 -- and she's lost ALL SEVEN TIMES. She really, really stinks.

But, like every WC sucks.

Under this logic, Bea Bielik should get another WC.

[Pamela Shriver]

Oh, I remember the brief days of Bea.

[DBBN]

She gave Justine a run that one year.

You're right. And I'm starting to get a sinking feeling that AS really might score a MD WC. Maybe the USTA is watching her this summer for just the tiniest glimmer of hope so they can offer her one.

But there's always the hope that they're as fed up with her as we are.

[shenaynay]

andrew said:

Bea was awesome.

A bug server, with not much else. With unrealistic expectations. And was a bitch.

Too bad she blows.

She did beat Dokic.

Looking at the possible list of Americans...

Silliams, obviously.
Glatch, who made 2nd round last year, and is still a baby.
A(h)sha.
Haynes.
Gambale, also a baby.
Rao, because she's never got one yet.
Neha Uberoi, I also don't recall her getting one.
Carly, maybe, because she's playing better... but, she got one the last 2 years.

Other than that, it's all old hopeless Americans.

[Pamela Shriver]

Isn't Neha representing IND now?

[shenaynay]

I think she's USA. Or my site says so.

[Brinyi]

I believe Shikha plays for India, but not Neha.
