I can't stand the Poles at TF. They're so blindly patriotic and self-important about everything they even praise this sucky tournament as though it was a legitimate 5th Slam. They are the reason every Radwanska loss adds a year to my life.

I am hoping for Marcinkevica (because we're due another LAT breakthrough), Van Uytvanck (get a MOVE ON into the top 100 so I can watch your funny game more), Smitkova or Pauvre Caravane and Akgul because why not.

Savinykh lost to Magda Linette. Presumably the crazed Poles are going wild at TF? |

Pretty much - 3 threads opened in the GM for that match. Hey, not bad for a Mickey Mouse tourney Q1 match!

Savinykh now 1-5 since her AO run. A quality win meriting three threads, clearly. Neither Radwanska here One of Domachowska and Beck will have to win a match The return of Kaia! Kill them all! |

I don't understand why Domachowska is getting wild cards into WTA MDs instead of being offered a starring role in a porn movie. It's a logical progression from a playboy cover.

TF GM is currently discussing which of the Polish bagel girls who played their matches today, and rightfully they all deserved a match thread in GM, is more talented.  No player who gets bagelled by IRO in 2013 is talented, end of the argument. I'd just ban them all. I'm not in the best of moods. |

I saw this and initially thought "Oh Kvitty's playing a challenger again."
Now I remember the whole shit stirred up that Aga couldn't play here because only one Top 10 is allowed and she's already committed to some other shit tournament before she knew of this one's existence and how Serena voted against her being able to play here. Some such bullshit - it was a while ago.

NID that Domachowska would get broken to love when serving for a set, and then broken to love when serving to stay in the match, concluding with a DF.
