- Old (very old), unimportant, meaningless 'news'. Normally this screams "PAY ATTENTION TO ME". But hard to tell who is seeking the attention??
- A few of the consistent players who had successfully climbed the charts last half of last season look to be for real again (Yastremska, Eala, Lys, Anisimova, and so). Barring injury or exhaustion this could be a Top 20 battle for top spots this season.
- She'll be "stacking" losses.
- Gross, unnecessary, and UNFAIR TO YOUNG COMPETITIVE PLAYERS.
- Thanks for sending It home.
- First round loss as usual, plus she moves like a sloth. It is unbelievable that she actually went 3 rounds with someone. Women tennis needs to be abolished, because if they cannot find quality players or give younger players a chance at these wild cards, there is no use to have their side of the sport exist. It is getting more and more ridiculous. And unwatchable.
- I see Emma has already begun her "reduced" schedule! Ha-ha-ha
- I agree 100% on axing the post-match Runner-up mandatory speech. There is so much wrong with that -- hanging time up to 20 minutes; cameras in your face as you wait on the bench to tell everyone how "amazing" they are, how "amazing" your opponent and his/her team are; pretend how happy it is to finish in Second Place; how much you "love the venue and atmosphere"; what restaurants & shops you visited and so. It's an unnecessary added and RIDICULOUS pressure..
- She can't hide the dropping of sponsors at this point. BTW: Nike reduced their $ponsor$hip last year (people have short memories). Bye, Bye Wilson!
- How is this tennis news? Have the Williams' PR people stopped inundating you with their insignificant non-tennis releases?
