Jelena Ostapenko remains in full control of Iga Świątek winning 6-3 6-1 in Doha SF. H2h is 5-0 now.

 

Amanda Anisimova beat Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3 6-3 in the second SF.

Amanda Anisimova wins the biggest title of her career in Doha 1000 over Jelena Ostapenko 6-4 6-3 in the final.

 

This means she moves into career-high #18 in the rankings - some 6 years after making Roland Garros SF at 17yo.

Since Sara 'Tortellini' Errani was mentioned in the doping thread might as well say she & Paolini won the Doha doubles title on MP #7 after an underhand serve was returned long. No wonder the returner collapsed on her knees after that one...

Mirra Andreeva wins back-to-back 1000 titles in Dubai & Indian Wells so the real hype should come soon. The days of her liking IG post with Putin birthday wishes are forgotten already

Azarenka also had good relations with Lukashenka, but in her prime it was nothing controversial. Besides, in the West countries or in the USA, no one even knew who Lukashenka was in that time.

Right, so Kasatkina doesn't even live in Australia let alone marrying a local like Gavrilova or Gajdosova and she doesn't really need the money which was Tomljanovic's reason. Guess permanent residency isn't required when you're a celebrity either?

So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was.

 

At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke.

 

Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents...

Australia can produce talented players, but they get bored of tennis and prefer to retire being N1
