Cibulkova was 5-2 down to Doi but won 7-5, 6-0.
Woz's appeal to get into Rio may all be for naught. Withdrawn from Montreal with a bicep tear that took her out of Washington.
Good stuff. Saisai has been the nemesis of all the Brits this season.

Edges up to a personal best 17 in the live rankings and can go higher this week.
Cibulkova into the SF's in Stanford and subsequently back in the top ten. Well bloody done to her, coming back from injuries isn't easy, particularly after she went so disastrously off the rails in 2014 too. She's playing very well, maybe even a dark horse at the US Open?
Fun fact! Venus made her WTA debut at Stanford in 1994, five years before her next opponent, Cici Bellis, was even born.

Caro is having a bad 2016
Vandeweghe just went over on her ankle. Horrible in slow-motion.
She has had to retire, and leaves in a wheelchair.

2016 just won't let up, even more drama and injuries than usual it seems. Who needs The Walking Dead season 7 when we've got the US Open 2016 instead.

Venus orbits pass Belis 4 and 1 and now plays Riske.

McGee took out Sam Groth. Not bad!

I should think this from tennis podcast might go some way to explaining it...
Wimbledon Day 11 - Heartbroken Goran Picks Murray For The Title;
Jul 7, 2016
Goran Ivanisevic was inconsolable the day after the man he coaches, Marin Cilic, lost out to Roger Federer after holding three match point, and the Croatian now believes Andy Murray will go on to win the title.
In an interview with Tennis Podcast presenter and BBC 5 Live commentator David Law, Ivanisevic said this was the worst he had felt in nearly 20 years, since losing to Pete Sampras in the 1998 final.
He believes Federer against Raonic is now '50-50', that Murray will take care of Tomas Berdych, and that Murray will win his second Wimbledon.

If she keeps on playing the way she has been, it's only a matter of time. She was a bit unlucky in Eastbourne but there's no reason she can't do it in Stanford (or elsewhere).
I think there must be something wrong with my hearing or something. When the interview with Jo came on BT Sport earlier, just before the start of her match, she sounded like a Scottish lady talking, like Nicola Sturgeon or someone.
