Canadian Open

Singles – First Round: Tamira Paszek def. Julia Goerges 6-2 6-1

Julia Goerges loses her shot at the Top Twenty. Tamira Paszek is a little below the Top Forty. (For some reason, there are a lot of players active between #40 and #45.)

Singles – First Round: Carla Suarez Navarro def. Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 1-6 6-4 6-3

Carla Suarez Navarro is one of those just below the Top Forty. She needs about 200 more points to earn a U. S. Open seed. Which probably means she needs a semifinal here or a quarterfinal at Cincinnati.

Singles – First Round: Ekaterina Makarova def. (LL) Urszula Radwanska 6-4 6-2

Ekaterina Makarova defends her points and will probably stay just below the Top Forty, too. Urszula Radwanska will be a little above #50.

Singles – First Round: Chanelle Scheepers def. (WC) Stephanie Dubois 1-6 6-3 6-0

Add Chanelle Scheepers to the just-below-the-Top-Forty crowd. A very crowded place indeed.

Singles – First Round: Roberta Vinci def. Yanina Wickmayer 6-2 3-6 7-5

Roberta Vinci came in ranked one spot ahead of Yanina Wickmayer but with quarterfinal points to defend. That made this, in effect, a contest for a Top Thirty spot. Vinci is probably in; Wickmayer will not rise above #30 and may fall. It was a dramatic ending; Vinci won the last five games.

Singles – First Round: (Q) Sesil Karatantcheva def. Sorana Cirstea 6-0 6-0

Whatever was wrong with Sorana Cirstea, it’s a severe blow to her U. S. Open seeding hopes; she will remain near the bottom of the Top Forty — and with all those close-to-the-top-forty players chasing her. Sesil Karatantcheva finally has herself firmly back in the Top Hundred.

Singles – First Round: Simona Halep def. (Q) Michelle Larcher de Brito 6-4 6-3

This might be enough to keep Simona Halep Top Fifty, but we would guess she needs one more win.

Singles – First Round: (Q) Jana Cepelova def. Sofia Arvidsson 6-3 6-3

Jana Cepelova just keeps climbing. It doesn’t appear this will put her in the Top Hundred. Not quite. But one more win certainly would.

Doubles – First Round: Jans-Ignacik/Mladenovic def. (5) Llagostera Vives/Martinez Sanchez 7-6(10-8) 6-3

After a strong start to their reunion, Llagostera Vives/Martinez Sanchez have now suffered two straight improbable losses.

Doubles – First Round: Dushevina/Tanasugarn def. Husarova/Peer 7-5 5-7 10-7 (Match TB)

A lot of experience in this match…. Tamarine Tanasugarn’s ranking is falling fast, but at least her stamina seems to be good.

Doubles – First Round: Grandin/Uhlirova def. Jurak/Marosi 6-7(4-7) 6-4 10-8 (Match TB)

Doubles – First Round: Rodionova/Voskoboeva def. Kudryavtseva/Minella 6-0 6-3

Doubles – First Round: Makarova/Savchuk def. Dekmeijere/Rosolska 3-6 6-1 10-8 (Match TB)

We can’t help but notice how, with the Olympics over, most of the teams here are of women who are not countrywomen….

Doubles – First Round: Pavlyuchenkova/Safarova def. Babos/Daniilidou 6-1 3-6 11-9 (Match TB)

No Key Biscayne, No Problem; New Site, Same Great Miami Open Tennis Event

It was the end of an era at Crandon Park for the Miami Open last year. From the Lipton, to the Nasdaq 100, to the Sony Ericsson, to the Sony, to the Miami Open presented by Itau, Key Biscayne saw it all.
