Tennis News

On the opening day, Ben Shelton faced Christopher Eubanks and Frances Tiafoe took on Tallon Griekspoor. But most of the ties played were qualifying so it finally all begins on Day Two.

Wozniacki-Svitolina, Venus Williams, Muchova, Vondrousova among WTA talking points
In her second tournament back, Caroline Wozniacki will play Elina Svitolina. The former World No.1 didn't look out of place after three years off the court in Montreal losing to Marketa Vondrousova eventually.
But in Svitolina, it is perhaps an even harder task. Dubbed the Summer of Svitolina, the Ukrainian has taken back to tour life expertly reaching the Quarter-Finals in all but two tournaments. Those being Canada and Birmingham.
Irony to this tie too is that both have been full of praise for each other. Both as Mums returning to the tour and now they will face off. The winner could face Daria Kasatkina, while Aryna Sabalenka could then await so not an easy run in but certainly a big match to end Night Two.

Other WTA talking points include Venus Williams who has spent more time chasing luggage than a tennis ball as of late. But the American legend will return home and will face Veronika Kudermetova on Night Two.
Marketa Vondrousova returns again as a Grand Slam champion now heading into the US Open and will face Katerina Siniakova. As Karolina Muchova is prior in a slate of Czech stars with Beatriz Haddad Maia the first opponent in a tasty first round clash for the Roland Garros finalist. Marta Kostyuk, Qinwen Zheng, Bernarda Pera (who could face Jessica Pegula) and Anastasia Potapova are also set for action.

- I, like writer of this wonderful article, also picked Noskova to win this entire thing. I would love it if she and Andreeva are in the final.Rapunzel12-11-2026
- "Priorities", Saba... spend less time in front of cameras, anti-Social Media, selfies and back to Tennis.
mandoist12-11-2026 - Tell this to Andreeva!
mandoist12-11-2026 - Andreeva with 11 games in a row to add to Saba's downward spiral issue !!! Personal feelings aside... Jess Pegula may want to reassess her evaluation of Mirra's abilities.
mandoist12-11-2026 - I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
