Are we entering the era of big 2 dominance. /s

(This post is jokingly referring to last year's posts pointing out "WR 1000 is closer to WR3 than WR3 is to WR2)

My purpose is to simply highlight that tennis rankings do not mean much at a given time frame. peace.

It's an annual tournament for former professional tennis players, semifinals are scheduled for today.

Yamaguchi hit 7 aces while only having an average of 1.6 aces per match the past year. Sofia Kenin things.

Kenin is through to Q2 where top qualifying seed Sinja Kraus awaits.

Ito had match points when Tyra was serving to stay in the match but couldn’t capitalize, but ended up getting it done on her own serve afterwards. Had plenty of break opportunities but the 2 she converted were enough to win in straights!

Aoi will play the winner of [5] Harriet Dart vs. Rina Saigo for a spot in the main draw, while Tyra will have the next two weeks off before heading to Chennai to play qualifiers for the 250 held there.

Kristina Penickova scores her best win yet by ranking with a victory over third seed and world #112 Elvina Kalieva. Kalieva did have a disadvantage going into this match, as she played her R1 match earlier in the day (a 2h51m grind against Savannah Broadus; Kalieva won 6-3, 6[3]-7, 7-6[4]). Penickova's R1 against Martina Capurro Taborda was played Tuesday before thunderstorms derailed the tournament schedule.

Penickova plays fellow American 17 year old Julieta Pareja in the quarterfinal.

OU college player Dana Guzman picks up her first top 100 win in her second match of the day, just a few hours after beating Caroline Dolehide. She'll play [5] Sloane Stephens next in the quarterfinal.

Bibi takes out last year’s finalist (and finalist in the Adana 125 last week) and saved 8/12 break points along the way! She’ll play Lucie Havlíčková for a spot in the final.

Lucrezia now heads to Wrexham, GB for the ITF W100 being held there next week.

Obviously an incredible run by Kartal so far in Wuhan, but it's shocking how little of a gap Katie Boulter created with Britain's two best players (Raducanu and Kartal) missing most of the year. Two tournaments in and Kartal is already taking it away from Katie.

23-year-old Peruvian qualifier Dana Guzman (currently ranked 529) gets one of the best wins of her career with a three-set victory over #215 (and former top 50) Caroline Dolehide.

Guzman played college tennis for the University of Oklahoma and is coming off her first ITF title, a W35 in Southaven, Mississippi. She's played above W50 level three times in her career - two W100s (including this one) and a W75, all in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Up next for her is (1) Tatjana Maria.
