After a superb run at the Miami Open 16-year old Linda Fruhvirova made a winning start in Charleston coming back to win against Ana Konjuh 4-6 6-1 6-3.
Fruhvirtova played some amazing tennis on the slow courts of Miami and she continued doing that in similar conditions at the Charleston Open. Facing off against former top player Ana Konjuh Fruhvirotva struggled early on or rather Konjuh played rather well. She lost her serve midway in the first set but she failed to get it back as Konjuh saved the only break point she faced.
The 2nd set is where Fruhvirtova finally found her stride as she completely outplayed her opponent en route to a 6-1 2nd set finish. Konjuh did not serve well at all and Fruhvirtova got so many balls back to her that the Croatian went on one of her typical error sprees. The Czech player stayed composed and carried over that momentum into the 2nd set.
Konjuh never quite found her rhythm as she allowed her opponent to take an early lead in the final set. The Croatian played okay in the set but that break points was converted by Fruhvritova and the Czech player never gave it back. Fruhvirtova added another break, later on, to finish off the job with 6-3. Another great win that will help her continue her ascension in the world of tennis.

- 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.

- 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

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
