I didn't know anything either, but had a look at her Twitter page there and it's full of god-bothering crap, "God loves me" and so on. Lauren, girl, you lost to Wickmayer, that's not the work of a loving god

Well done to Konta. Haven't actually seen much of her play either so yet to decide if I like her or not

Very happy to see Kerber already recover from life-threatening injury at Båstad and good enough to travel half way across the world to play Montreal.....

I see her as a better version of Pliskova.
She's proper hardcore bible belt. I vaguely remember her once essentially thanking god for injuring her opponent as she progressed through to next round. The hurdler who broke the world record was thanking god. I wonder where he was when she didn't qualify for the US team. |

It shouldn't but it puts me right off players when they bring the god thing into it. Everybody is entitled to their beliefs but I feel like screaming at the TV you did it yourself you silly woman/man. It happens a lot with American athletes.

God loves Lauren but he loves Yanina more. And Serena more than anyone.

Bastad need to take the hint and pay their chunky appearance fees in instalments. 50% for turning up and winning a match, only paying in full if they reach the final.

Didn't Serena play in Sweden last year? I seem to recall the tournament was on BT Sport, so it must have been played before Stanford last year.
EDIT: just seen the above comment about Serena in Bastad last year. |

Sky are showing matches on the red button including Kyle. I wonder if BT are doing the same for the ladies?

Don't really see anything in Coric's game that makes me think he'll make it to the top of men's tennis.

![]() I like her now, and let's be honest compared to some of the things Serena has done on-court, Angie is Mary Poppins in comparison. . . As a fan of Serena myself that would make me a massive hypocrite to hold one incident against Kerber. Don't you think?

Is Kyle injured? All that hype last week and he's falling apart against the world 192.

Guess Edmund is probably knackered from his fine efforts last week?
Disappointing result though... |

Laura Robson is a break up final set against some nobody in the ITF Kentucky qualifying.
Emily Webley-Smith is already through to round 3. |

Laura's lost her serve break. She's been on court over 3 hours against the twin of the player she beat yesterday.

Laura edges it in 3 hours 13 minutes against a wildcard player who has only a doubles ranking.
Freya Christie is up a set and a break in her match, as is Katy Dunne. |
