WTA Rankings 5.20.2013: Serena Supreme Again, Wins Rome…Maintains #1
I said before the Serena Williams vs Victoria Azarenka final at the 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia that win or lose, I hoped that Vika would make it a competitive match. In my opinion, it was less than that. Yes, Vika made some of the games competitive but ultimately Serena turned all of the important points … Continue reading »
Chella Choi Leads 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic After Round 3; Anna Nordqvist’s 61 Scorches Course
Oh my goodness! The ladies of the LPGA are torching the course at the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic. In the 2nd round, Sydnee Michaels christened a new course record of 62. That lasted 24 hours as Anna Nordqvist, at times looking like she would threaten countrywoman Annika Sorenstam’s LPGA record 59, threw down a … Continue reading »
Victoria Azarenka Advances To Final Of 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia (Rome), Serena Williams Awaits
I am a huge Maria Sharapova fan, but it seems that if anyone can give Serena Williams any competition it would be a healthy Victoria Azarenka. Don’t get me wrong, Serena is clearly the best until somebody can consistently beat her. The point isn’t to take anything away from the great Serena. She’s awesome. What … Continue reading »
Jessica Korda Leads 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic After Round 2; Sydnee Michaels Shoots 62
Jessica Korda shot a clean 7 birdie 7-under 2nd round at the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic to hold the 36 hole lead at 13-under overall. Generally speaking, a 7-under round would be exceptional, and it is. However, on this day it was raining birdies on the Crossings Course. If Jessica looks over her shoulder, … Continue reading »
Lexi Thompson, Eun-Hee Ji Lead Mobile Bay LPGA Classic After Round 1
I don’t want to say too much too early in this tournament. In fact, I often refrain from posting about the LPGA until the weekend. So much can happen over four rounds that drawing conclusions from round 1 can be foolish. Still, one thing is crystal clear. Lexi Thompson loves Alabama. In fact, even before … Continue reading »
Maria Sharapova Defeats Sloane Stephens At 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia (Rome), Sets Up Rematch Of Last Year’s Roland Garros Final Vs Sara Errani
Maria Sharapova defeated Sloane Stephens 6-2 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia (Rome). Masha’s win sets up a clay court rematch of last year’s Roland Garros final between her and Sara Errani. Sharapova won their match in Paris to complete her career Grand Slam. I do think Sara has … Continue reading »

Last time we saw Li Na she was on the wrong side of an upset at the hands of Madison Keys in Madrid. The 2011 Roland Garros champion was back to her winning ways in the 2nd round of the 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia (Rome). Li Na took out countrywoman Zheng Jie 6-3 6-1 to … Continue reading »

Bojana Jovanovski Upsets Caroline Wozniacki At 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia; Laura Robson Falls To Serena Williams
I am sticking with Caroline Wozniacki through thick and thin. I just didn’t think it would get this thin. The former world #1 played an exciting, but ultimately losing, match against Bojana Jovanovski in the first round of the 2013 Internazionali BNL d’Italia, 2-6 6-4 7-6 (5). Bojana is a player, still young at 21, … Continue reading »
