Ugh, TTC will add on to their eternal replays of Oudin matches.
Robson Mania starts. Joy.

I imagine the british girl is ranked like 400, right? Is she at least a teenager?

She'll be 16 in a couple of weeks.
Robson and EVIL Micaela Carolina are the only prodigies to appear in the past 3 seasons or so, and even them aren't progressing as expected (particularly Micaela Carolina). So you can see how desperate everyone is getting for a genuine supernova to shake things up, and Robson has one of the appropriate nationalities to boot.

It must be getting hard for poor Melanie to BELIEVE any more. When's the last time she won a match? US Open?

Tut tut Janie, seeking to minimise her single valiant post-USO win, in Tokyo qualies, over 801st-ranked bumpkin Aki Yamasoto.

And someone should tell Oudin that the laurels of mere willing are dry leaves that never were green.

"Muzza" or Boredo  Spain should take the doubles. "Muzza" seems to become some sort of doubles demigod all of a sudden, but Robson should screw up enough for Evil UK to lose. |

Sheesh, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for MJMS. I'm rooting for her bigtime this year. At least, I planned to, till she lost to Robson. What kind of thing is that to do!  |

So, I watched that Robson/MJMS match. Maria Jose was just terrible, unable to keep anything in the court. I wouldn't put much into it. It's also a good matchup for Robson as her glaring weakness that is movement wasn't tested.
