Main draw in Bad Homburg (WTA 500), where Maria Sakkari, Liudmila Samsonova, Emma Navarro and Beatriz Haddad Maia are the top seeds.
WCs: Bianca Andreeescu, Caroline Wozniacki, Paula Badosa and Tatjana Maria.
Amazing! Muchova in the SF. Top 20 live rankings, top 10 in the race. 🙏🏻 With all the injuries this is so pleasing to see. ☺️ Also, what a tournament for Pavvy 💪🏻
Ostapenko is that player who one week might travel to a 250 and lose to a Bye, the next week she’ll destroy five Grand Slam champions in a row in a bigger event. Pure entertainment!
Jaqueline is the biggest single contributor to Danielle Collins’ Olympic campaign. She’s played seven Americans this year and beaten six of them — only losing to Danielle. 🤓
”I really tried not to cry because I know pictures would be ugly but I couldn’t help myself.” 🤣
Even in the middle of an emotional speech she let’s her humour out.
Everyone: * thinks of important stuff*
Me: ”Ostapenko hasn’t been to Riga Nails for months, nor is she following them on IG. It’s the end of an era.” 💔
Vintage Ostapenko — clowning her way through the draw in three-setters just to dominate the final. There really is no other showgirl like her. Now lose R1 of Eastbourne to Petra, visit Riga Nails and get that Wimbledon title! 🤩
Samantha returning to AO next year for another retirement party after clarifying this retirement was just for all-female doubles and she’s still active in mixed
Jelena Jankovic on Cotton-Eye Joe: ”I don’t like to stick my nose in other people’s business but the DJ should update their playlist. Back in my day the DJs dropped something more elegant like ABBA. The only thing that drops these days is the level of play on the WTA tour.”
A year ago I was watching Sabalenka struggling terribly with Kanepi, thinking she’s hopeless. Damn, did she prove me wrong — went on to win the match, the next Slam and become

. Now in the finals again!
Big respect to Iga. Whether or not it was intentional by Potapova, the tee can easily be interpreted as a statement and a very brutal one. I don’t mind the Russian players on tour but the Ukrainians should not witness things like this when their country is being shred to pieces.
Iga about tee-gate:
"I talked with WTA & they told me it shouldn't happen again as they will communicate with players that promoting any Russian teams right now is forbidden.
Tbh they should have done that long time ago"
Queen!

🤔 17 trophies including 7 grand slams, an Olympics gold medal, WTA Finals… I think our partnership was just fine. 😉 Have a good evening!
Tough draw for Jaqueline but makes the loss easier to handle seeing these friendly faces after the match. You might not always see it on court but Jelena is a warm and loving person. ❤️
Thanks for sending this amazing picture

Well this match is Ostapenko in a nutshell: one moment she’s going for the Porsche, the next she’s going to hit the Porsche with every shot. But it’s part of her charm.
Congrats to Haddad Maia! But very proud of Jaqueline. Love seeing her hit like this against the World

. Take the positives for the hard court season. 💪🏻😎
Jaqueline’s season seems to be over and what ride it was! Three titles, back in the top 100 and big steps with her tennis! She’s on a good road with her new coach!
On a personal note, I have decided to close this account. I feel like I need to take all the time possible to…
More of the WTA calendar has been released and there is some very sad news. It looks like the rumors of the
@TransylvaniaOpn
not happening this year are true, being replaced by tournaments back in China.
This is very upsetting news, as this is the only tournament in Romania. And
Congrats to Muchova for beating Jaqueline 6-1 6-3! Showing great form right now. 💪🏻
Good tournament for Jaqueline, ending the four match losing streak and getting her first top 10 win. 🙏🏻
I don't remember seeing Jaqueline hype up the crowd before but today after saving 4 match points in this long service game and finally holding she didn't hold back
It’s one year since Jaqueline’s horrible injury. She had just beaten Rybakina in Doha and was a set up against Kasatkina, playing her best tennis. A win would have put her close to the top 50.
Today, she won R1 of ITF Macon. It’s a long road back but her form is improving. 💪🏻
So proud of Jaqueline! 🥹 She didn’t win many matches lately but she kept fighting and reached the first WTA semi since 2021 after her tough injury! And damn, she’s played really well! Semifinal tomorrow vs Hibino

TBT: My favourite picture of Sharapova. It was a difficult time for her so the excitement and pride on her face when she went to Harvard Business School was nice to see 😌
