With her win at Rome, Rybakina moves up to #4 in the world rankings, and is guaranteed to avoid facing Swiatek and Sabalenka until the semifinals. Coco Gauff's world ranking drops to #6.

Elena should've been #3 with more than 7000 points including her Wimbledon win.

 

 

Iga is in danger at Roland-Garros, I fear.

She's been defeated by Elena this year while still gifting bagels to other WTA players:gaycat2:

Sofia Kenin’s 2020 season is going to replace 1998 Marcelo Rios as the greatest one year wonder/outlier season in tennis history. Kenin won 16 matches at the slams in a pandemic shortened 2020, winning the Australian Open and making the finals at the French Open, en route to being named the WTA player of the year. Outside of 2020, Kenin has won 16 matches total at the slams in 5+ seasons, and outside her AO win, she has 2 second round exits and 3 first round exits I her other appearances in Melbourne.

Just a thought: Maybe Paula shouldn't play Eastbourne or the Cincinnati Masters this year.

 

Paula Badosa ruled out of French Open with spinal fracture

Paula Badosa will miss the French Open after suffering a stress fracture in her spine at the Italian Open last week, the former world No. 2 said Thursday.

Badosa, 25, who was ranked second a year ago, has dropped to 29th amid an injury-ridden season. The Spanish player was knocked out in the quarterfinals in Rome.

"Just when everything seemed to be fine again, I received bad news just before starting a Grand Slam. At the tournament in Rome I suffered a stress fracture in my spine," she said in a statement.

"It has been very hard news after such a difficult start of the season with injuries. This is going to keep me out of competition for some weeks."

Badosa also missed the Australian Open in January due to a thigh injury sustained in a tuneup tournament in Adelaide.

The French Open begins Sunday.

Coco Gauff def. Rebeka Masarova 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in her first round match.

 

Mirra Andreeva has an impressive 6-2, 6-1 first round win. I get the feeling that in 2 years time, we'll be talking about her the same way we talk about Carlos Alcaraz now. Andreeva is clearly the most talented player since Monica Seles/Jennifer Capriati/Martina Hingis in the 90s.

Seems like the smart money bet is Holger Rune winning the FO. He'll only need to beat one of Alcaraz, Djokovic, and Tsitsipas to win the title. Rune +950 feels like a steal here.

Mirra Andreeva wins 1 & 2, and Coco Gauff wins 2 & 3. Andreeva and Gauff will play in the 3rd round, in what should be a glimpse to the future of women's tennis.
