- The Williams Sham & Scam will unfortunately continue. Sorry up & coming young players -- but WTA & Venues don't care about you.
mandoist22-06-2026 - Sickening, Unfair, and Pathetic. BTW: Any "history" made is in the past. Returning from faux retirement your "hstory" starts over -- you don't just pickup where you left off. Shameful to see someone need the spotlight so bad she is happy to steal Wildcardsmandoist22-06-2026
- Diana's emotions and reactions prove her dedication and extreme drive to succeed. Her workouts are as strenuous as any of her peers. Just as driven on the practice courts. Her priorities to tennis are obvious, unlike several others. A fierce competitor should be allowed his/her honest emotional displays without having to answer for them. I submit the media weasels 'Think Before They Speak' at pressers.mandoist19-06-2026
- Hey, I know... throw away more Wildcards and secret Invitations! Oh, Wimbledon just did. Ridiculous and unwarranted.mandoist17-06-2026
- Stop the Wasted Wildcards and Freebies!! This is past the point of rescue anymore. It's embarrassing -- and unfair to able young prospects.mandoist17-06-2026
- We have been witnessing the repercussions of the hasty pro-tennis back-to-back-to-back scheduling. Causing exhaustion and other negative health related issues. Most obvious are the too frequent anti-climactic "Finals" -- especially WTA where Finals have resulted in too many sub-par contests. WTA will never admit their mistakes, intentional or not.mandoist15-06-2026
- Yep, part-time Emma is maintaining.mandoist15-06-2026
- The important thing is, she's still managing to do enough to maintain her sponsorships.mandoist15-06-2026
- Nick back, Serena back. Life is great 😀
AceOfBase10-06-2026 - Swiatek an underdog for the WTA race. Nuts. What happened to her. I thought she would dominatethe WTA for 10 years or so.AceOfBase10-06-2026
