Also Cilic. Two out of the four will make it, barring a freak result in Paris. Or further withdrawals.
Cilic may not be all that keen to make it, given the DC final round the corner.

Iunno. Some girls are headcases to the extent that their coach literally has to hold their hand during OCC sessions, while they hysterically bawl their eyes out. Even if OCC was allowed on the ATP I highly doubt you'd see that...
The drama is cool in small doses. However, it shouldn't overshadow the actual tennis.

I still want her to have won more big run at a slam before it's all over.”
I seem to remember old Fed saying Sveta was his fave WTA player to watch. She has all the shots in her locker.

That's how it played out. Domi was the second best player in the group for me and deserved to progress.
Halep didn't really play her best and Keys hates these conditions. Slow and low, meaning she has to actually contruct points and move...very one-dimensional. Angie was reading her like a book and always had her fave FH DTL available.

Oh yeah, Domi called Pova out.
