They will use the time available to increase Women’s Singles to five sets. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/64401075 Had missed that so far but wow, that's sad news I'm still waiting for all tennis to move into a one-set format in every tournament, so it's more urban. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Makedonas 2,123 Posted April 5, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Big win today for 18 yo Dimitra Pavlou at the ITF W40 event in Split, Croatia The world number 790 defeated world number 159 Elena Gabriela Ruse 7-6(5) 7-5 in the first round! She came from qualifying with a 6-1 6-4 win over world number 403 Anna Turati and 6-0 6-2 over world number 576 Adrienn Nagy Very good results from Pavlou this week, who is Sakkari's first cousin. With the resources she has access to, being the niece of a former top 50 player and cousin of a current top 10 player, I wonder how far she can go in her career. It's a shame that Maria Sakkari's siblings did not ever play tennis, Greece could've had more good players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn´t overestimate it. It only happened because Italy fielded their benchwarmer for the last two Singles, otherwise it would have ended 0-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,452 Posted April 22, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 22, 2023 That benchwarmer would be Jasmine Paolini? She's fallen off the pace in the last few months, used to be Italian #2 behind Giorgi but she's basically dropped behind Trevisan and Cocciaretto on the pecking order to say the very least.

Josh 10,257 Posted April 29, 2023 #20 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Just bought a ticket for the Vancouver 2023 Laver Cup ticket ended up costing me 483$, but I got pretty solid seating so well worth it IMO. Super super excited, my first time ever getting to watch a professional tennis match live. Really hope the matches are good that session. (I personally am hoping for FAA v. Meddy, but anything other than a Kyrgios match would be fine with me. He’s an entertaining player, but I don’t like his antics.)
