Some significant scheduling conflicts are looming between WTA events and the Fed Cup ties next month. Both Venus Williams and Dominika Cibulkova are expected at Kuala Lumpur the same week as their countries compete in the women's team competition.
An important victory for Kirsten Flipkens, who was defending quarterfinalist points. Even with the win, she is far from clinching her Top 25 spot.
A very minor upset, based on the rankings -- but an interesting one, because these two are both very inconsistent players. We had no idea what to expect.
The Party Rock Open, a $50,000 women's USTA Pro Circuit event in Las Vegas, is closing up after not being able to replace its title sponsorship.
Serena Williams will return to her comfort zone at the Miami Masters after dealing with a back problem the last time she played a month ago in Dubai. The No. 1 skipped Indian Wells as usual as part of a family feud with organizers which has lasted for 13 years, but is ready to step onto court after her pause.

Tennis Channel's original series Best of 5 is asking for fans' help to choose the top five male and female heartthrobs of professional tennis in Best of 5 Heartthrobs, which will premiere during the 2014 US Open.

Flavia Pennetta’s title victory in the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells means she is close to breaking back into the top ten of WTA after a five year absence at the age of 32.
This should have been over in straight sets. Flavia Pennetta -- who to that point had been broken only twice -- talked to her coach and served for the match at 5-4 in the second set, and was broken. Two games later, Pennetta was broken again, and a match that appeared to be settled went to a third set. Sloane Stephens stayed strong at the beginning of the third set, going up 3-0.
