Canadian Open

 

Singles – Third Round: (2) Agnieszka Radwanska def. Chanelle Scheepers 6-2 6-4

Agnieszka Radwanska kept alive her hopes of reaching #1… but we’ll be getting back to that. Chanelle Scheepers will stay around #40.

 

Singles – Third Round: Roberta Vinci def. (6) Angelique Kerber 6-2 7-6(9-7)

Angelique Kerber misses another chance to reach #6. Roberta Vinci has defended her points and is just below the Top 25.

 

Singles – Third Round: (7) Caroline Wozniacki def. Varvara Lepchenko 4-6 6-3 6-4

Caroline Wozniacki had the trainer out in the second set, and she had to spend two and a half hours on the court. Not a promising result for the first match of the day. But at least she survived. Varvara Lepchenko, had she won this, would have had a very good shot at a U. S. Open seed. That looks pretty unlikely now.

 

Singles – Third Round: (10) Li Na def (8) Sara Errani 6-4 6-2

We show Li Na moving into an exact tie for the #10 ranking. Win her next match and she would clinch the #10 spot. Two more wins and she would pass Errani for #9.

 

Singles – Third Round: Tamira Paszek def. Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3 6-0

That helps get the schedule back under control…. Tamira Paszek is now firmly in the Top Forty; Carla Suarez Navarro isn’t.

 

Singles – Third Round: (WC) Aleksandra Wozniak def. Christina McHale 7-6(7-5) 6-3

Not much to this, really; Aleksandra Wozniak was already up 5-2 in the second set when rain forced a delay. Wozniak really didn’t do much except a little extra warmup — and earned a Top Fifty spot as a result. Christina McHale lost her chance to clinch a Top 25 spot.

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (10) Li Na def. (2) Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2 6-1

This really was pretty lopsided; Li Na won more than 60% of the points. That of course costs Agnieszka Radwanska her chance for #1 this week, and will make it a lot harder next week also. Li Na is now definitely in the Top Ten; Marion Bartoli is out. To add to her good fortune, Li was the only player to reach the semifinal before yet another rain delay.

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (5) Petra Kvitova def. Tamira Paszek 6-3 6-2

It’s odd, when you think about it: Last year, hardcourt was Petra Kvitova’s worst surface. But, this year, she seems to be making a comeback on it. She is the top seed left, and if she can win the title, she will return to the Top Five. Tamira Paszek will be probably #36, meaning that she will have a shot at earning a U. S. Open seed at Cincinnati, but this makes it much harder.

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (7) Caroline Wozniacki def. (WC) Aleksandra Wozniak 6-4 6-4

Pretty impressive that Caroline Wozniacki could do this on a bad knee. Of course, Aleksandra Wozniak was tired too. Wozniacki won’t rise above #8 this week, but this really does seem like her most promising result in a while. At least, the result does. The five match points blown weren’t so impressive.

 

Singles – Quarterfinal: (16) Lucie Safarova def. Roberta Vinci 6-2 6-2

This was the first match to finish after the last delay, and it puts Lucie Safarova firmly in the Top Twenty. It appears Roberta Vinci will have to settle for #26.

 

Doubles – Quarterfinal: (3) Petrova/Srebotnik def. Mattek-Sands/Mirza 1-6 7-5 10-5 (Match TB)

Petrova/Srebotnik are a new team. Looks like they needed a little while to learn how to work together.

 

Doubles – Quarterfinal: Jans-Ignacik/Mladenovic def. Makarova/Savchuk 6-3 6-7(3-7) 10-6 (Match TB)

Strange. Makarova/Savchuk could beat Errani/Vinci and couldn’t beat Jans-Ignacik/Mladenovic?

 

Doubles – Semifinal: (3) Petrova/Srebotnik def. (1) Huber/Raymond 6-4 6-4

Pretty stunning. Petrova/Srebotnik were playing their second match of the day, and they played better than in the first!

 

Doubles – Semifinal: Jans-Ignacik/Mladenovic def. Rodionova/Voskoboeva 6-3 7-6(7-5)
