WTAThursday, 01 February 2024 at 22:30
2024 ATX
Open will have its second edition from February 26 to March 3 in Austin, Texas,
featuring former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka and former US Open champion
Sloane Stephens as its main stars.
The WTA 250
tournament recently released the entry list without the defending champion of
the inaugural tournament, Marta Kostyuk, a recent quarterfinalist in the
Australian Open who opted to play in the WTA 500 San Diego Open during the same
week. The ATX Open is scheduled the week before the WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open
Indian Wells, which marks the beginning of the 'sunshine double' in the United
States.
Top Seedings:
The top
seed will be Ukrainian world No. 32 Anhelina Kalininia, who has suffered three
consecutive defeats at the start of the year and is still seeking her first
win. Following her are 2-times Grand Slam champion Azarenka (No. 33) and
American Sloane Stephens (No. 39).
The draw
will feature several local players aiming to make an impact, including young
talents Peyton Stearns (No. 54) and Alycia Parkas (No. 72), as well as
established player Danielle Collins, the Australian Open finalist in 2022.
There will
also be a small Chinese contingent with Xi Yu Wang (No. 63), Yu Yuan (No. 64),
and Yafan Wang (No. 78). The progress of Chinese women's tennis is evident,
with seven players now in the top 100, highlighted by the strong performance of
Qinwen Zheng in the recent Aussie Open, where she became the second Chinese
woman to reach a Grand Slam final since Li Na.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
