Teenager Genie Bouchard has made a huge leap in the past year, climbing 115 ranking spots to No 32, which could have her seeded at a slam.
With 11 titles to her name in 2013, including two Grand Slam event titles and the WTA Championships, it is stating the blindingly obvious to say Serena Williams is by far the most dominant force in women’s tennis.
The Women’s Tennis Association announced that World No. 2 Victoria Azarenka is the recipient of the 2013 Diamond ACES Award for the second consecutive year.
Serena Williams was forced to battle both new world no.3 Li Na and her own exhaustion to win a fourth WTA Championships title in Istanbul.
What can we say except, "Another bad day at the office for Petra Kvitova"? These were the matches she was winning two years ago.... Instead, she ends another disappointing year stuck at #6.
The Women’s Tennis Association announced today that World No. 2 Victoria Azarenka is the recipient of the 2013 Diamond ACES Award for the second consecutive year.
Victoria Azarenka's physical problems apparently were real. This was a contest for a semifinal spot, and it was really not very interesting -- Li Na said later that she thought Azarenka (who hurt her back in the first set, but who was already in trouble) would retire from the match.
Jelena Jankovic is 1-1, which means she is tied in matches with Victoria Azarenka (although she has a better record in sets). The remaining White Group matchs are Li versus Azarenka and Jankovic versus Errani.
Serbia’s Janko Tipsarevic, who is dealing with a left foot injury, says main goal is to "play healthy for Serbia in Davis Cup final." . . . Ryan Harrison caught viral pneumonia while playing in Asia and when he arrived in Vienna to play the ATP tournament there he couldn't get out of bed.
World no.2 Victoria Azarenka maintains she is physically and mentally drained as her bid to finish off the year with a winning flourish at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships in Istanbul as good as ground to a painful halt.
Hardly a surprise, but it leaves Serena 2-0, meaning she is all but sure to make the semifinal. Agnieszka Radwanska is 0-2, which means she still hasn't overtaken Maria Sharapova in the contest for #3; she needs a win to take the #3 spot.
Jelena Jankovic hasn't exactly been to hell and back since she soared to the No.1 ranking in 2008, but she hasn't exactly been able to maintain a heavenly level, either.
Serena Williams is the overwhelming favorite to become the first player to successfully defend the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships title since Justine Henin in 2007 but the world no.1 maintains she has been placed in the toughest group for round robin play throughout the week in Istanbul.
Jelena Jankovic maintained her decision to take on elder brother Marko as her permanent coach was the catalyst for her 2013 comeback that has seen her qualify as one of the world’s top eight for the first time since 2010 in the season-ending TEB BNP Paribas–sponsored WTA Championships in Istanbul.
The Women’s Tennis Association announced that Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki and USA’s Sloane Stephens are the singles alternates at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships, to be staged at the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul, Turkey, from October 22-27, 2013. Wozniacki will be the first alternate and Stephens the second.
