Makedonas 2,127 Posted September 23, 2023 #202 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Come on, Maria! You have many mouths to close tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 2,127 Posted September 24, 2023 #203 Share Posted September 24, 2023 She did it! I am so happy and so proud of her! She has suffered so many heartbreaking losses, she is such a nice person though and worked so hard, I'm really pleased to see this. So many people both inside Greece and outside Greece have said so many terrible, mean things about her for too long, so unjustified, but in the end she got her revenge on all of these miserable jealous people Monzanator and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,457 Posted October 4, 2023 #204 Share Posted October 4, 2023 WTA has returned to China since Peng Shuai is ancient history at this stage. Over in Japan Veronika Kudermetova won the Tokyo 500 and Ons Jabeur won the Ningbo 250 (that's in China) last week. The mandatory Beijing 1000 takes place this week and Iga Świątek easily beat Magda Linette 6-1 6-1 in the derby Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 2,127 Posted October 5, 2023 #205 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Maria making a big push to the WTA Finals. She was 16th in the race before Guadalajara, then she was 9th after winning. Now she made the SF in Tokyo and QF (so far) in Beijing. She's still 9th but the gap is only 405 points now. I'm not sure if she can make it though, she probably needs to beat Gauff and make the Beijing SF to have a realistic chance, otherwise she will need to win Zhengzhou and then take a WC to a 250 and make the final, and that's if others ahead of her don't gain any points in the meantime...

Monzanator 4,457 Posted October 6, 2023 #206 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Yeah, Sakkari is out of YEC. She needed to make that Beijing SF. And I'm unsure she'd be getting 250 WC since Top 10 players can only play two 250 during a season so she'd be over the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalgorka 1,508 Posted October 7, 2023 #207 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Thanks, Iga. That was quick! You've managed to win against CoCo Gauff before the volleyball match vs NED starts, so I can easily watch both. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,457 Posted October 11, 2023 #208 Share Posted October 11, 2023 The next Russian talent I mentioned before - Alina Korneeva - has won her first WTA Main Draw match - in Hong Kong R1 vs Savinykh. She plays another teenager Linda Fruhvirtova in Round 2. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true, they changed the rule so they can "enter" (and obviously play) 3, but Maria played two (Linz and Birmingham) and entered Rabat but withdrew. Had she not entered Rabat, since she did not play anyways, she would've still had a chance at a 250 next week (although not anymore since she lost in Zhengzhou). I still wonder if Muchova will show up in Cancun or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer 1,624 Posted October 12, 2023 #210 Share Posted October 12, 2023 And there are rumours WTA Finals might end up in Saudi Arabia for the next three years Josh and NearPup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
