*WEEK 43 CHAMPIONS*

S: Elisabetta Cocciaretto/ITA def. Magda Linette/POL 7-6(5)/4-6/6-1

RISER: Elisabetta Cocciaretto/ITA
...Cocciaretto's comeback from her 2021 knee surgery continues to pick up steam. The 21-year old Italian's season had already seen her post her first slam (Wimbledon) and 1000 (Guadalajara) MD wins, reach a new career high ranking, and win $80K (a career best) and $60K ITF challenger crowns.

In Tampico, the trend continued as she matched her biggest career final by reaching her third 125 title match, picking up her biggest title to date with a three-set win over Magda Linette. Cocciaretto had rallied from 0-2 down in the 3rd against both Marie Bouzkova (2r) and Camila Osorio (QF), then handled Zhu Lin in straights (SF), to get to the final.

Cocciaretto will jump from one her career high ranking (#79) to another (#63) on Monday.
===============================================
SURPRISES: Miriam Kolodziejova/Marketa Vondrousova, CZE/CZE
...however it came about, it was nice to see the reunion of the former all-Czech junior doubles force (winners of the GD at the 2015 AO and RG) in the $80K challenger in Poitiers, France. Better yet, they walked off with a title.

After having seemingly ended her season early after her latest wrist injury (following the one that ended her '19 campaign early, after having reached the RG women's final), Vondrousova popped up a little unexpectedly this week. She lost in the 1st Round of singles in her first action since April, but it was her re-teaming with Kolodziejova that gained traction. Despite their junior success, unlike countrywoman Krejcikova and Siniakova, the two had only played four events as pros, with the last coming in 2017. They reached three $15K finals in those four events, winning two.

In Poitiers, they were the #3 seeds, and on Sunday finished off their biggest title run together with a 6-4/6-3 win over top-seeded Pastry Jessika Ponchet & fellow Czech Renata Voracova.

It's the eighth doubles title across all levels for Kolodziejova in '22, as she likely looks to make some big moves in the rankings next season, adding this win to her maiden tour-level crown (Parma) and six other ITF runs.

Vondrousova, who got married during her time away, is currently ranked #124 in singles. Before the injury, she'd posted some impressive results, including wins over Liudmila Samsonova at the Australian Open and (AO finalist) Danielle Collins in Dubai, and split back-to-back three-set Indian Wells matches against Anett Kontaveit and Veronika Kudermetova. She played just one more match after that, a three-set loss to Ons Jabeur in Stuttgart, before her injury break.

One suspects that liberal use of a protected ranking could be in Vondrousova's future in the coming season. Of course, that's worked out quite well for her in the past.
===============================================
VETERAN: Magda Linette/POL
...playing in the long shadow of the world #1, Polish #2 Linette climbed back into the Top 50 with her Tampico 125 final appearance just weeks after finishing as the runner-up at the tour-level Chennai event to Linda Fruhvirtova last month.

Linette's week saw her post wins over Elise Mertens and Rebecca Marino en route to her third career 125 final (she's 2-3 in WTA finals), where she forced Elisabetta Cocciaretto into a 3rd set but saw the Italian pull away and take the decider 6-1.
===============================================
COMEBACKS: Rebecca Marino/CAN and Taylor Townsend/USA
...even while the Canadian has climbed back to relevence in 2022, Marino has left enough room for still more accomplishments in '23.

A week after putting up 24 aces in Guadalajara and coming THIS CLOSE to posting her first career Top 10 win over Caroline Garcia, Marino was back at it in Mexico, reaching the Tampico 125 semifinals with wins over Varvara Flink, Moyuka Uchijima and countrywoman Leylah Fernandez before falling in three sets to Magda Linette, one round short of her biggest final since 2011.

Marino will climb to #65 on Monday, her highest ranking of the year and in *any* year since 2012. She reached as high as #38 in 2011, and finished that year with her (still) career-best season-ending standing of #63.



She's a Tennis Channel commentator! She's a mom! She's a U.S. Open doubles finalist! And now she's a singles champion for the second time in '22. Yep, Townsend is doing it all pretty well in her comeback season.

In Tyler, Texas, Townsend added an $80K challenger crown to the $100K she won in the spring (Charleston), not dropping a set all week. She opened her run by knocking off top-seeded Kaia Kanepi, then later -- due to weather issues -- had to win her final three rounds over the course of a 24-hour period, defeating Nadia Podoroska and Storm Sanders on Saturday, then taking out Yuan Yue 6-4/6-2 in a noon-starting final on Sunday.

Townsend will jump 55 spots in the rankings on Monday, to #131.
===============================================



FRESH FACE: Polina Kudermetova/RUS
...while she awaits her chance to rank high enough to finally get to play doubles on the tour level with her sister Veronika, 19-year old Polina is making things happen on the ITF circuit.

In Istanbul, Kudermetova picked up her sixth career singles title, third in' 22, with a 6-3/6-1 win in the final over Tatiana Barkova to claim the week's $25K crown. Polina will move up to a new career high of #236 next week.

Meanwhile...


===============================================
ITF PLAYERS: Jasmine Paolini/ITA and Petra Marcinko/CRO
...Martina Trevisan may be the top-ranked Italian in '22, but Paolini continues to be the most consistent. After tour-level QF in Portoroz and Parma, and a final in Cluj-Napoca, the 26-year old claimed her second career $100K challenger crown (in '21, she won tour-level Portoroz and the Bol 125) in Les Franqueses del Vallès (ESP) after running off wins over Kamilla Rakhimova, Rebeka Masarova, Erika Andreeva and Kateryna Baindl in a 6-4/6-4 final.

The win will push Paolini up to #60, moving her past Camila Giorgi to be the #3-ranked Italian (w/ a one-spot lead over Tampico 125 champ Elisabetta Cocciaretto). Just ahead of both woman is ITA #2 Lucia Bronzetti at #60.



In Poitiers, France, '22 AO junior champ Marcinko claimed her biggest career title in the $80K challenger. The 16-year old Croatian advanced to her biggest final when Dane Clara Tauson retired from their semifinal contest, then won a 6-3/7-6 affair in the final over Ysaline Bonaventure.

While Marcinko will achieve her maiden Top 200 ranking with the win, Bonaventure (a $60K finalist last week, and Tallinn 250 quarterfinalist in September) will crack the Top 100 for the first time.


===============================================
JUNIOR STARS: Elena Pridankina/RUS and Lucciana PĂ©rez AlarcĂłn/PER
...in an all-17 year old match-up in Sharm El Sheikh, Hordette Pridankina prevailed over fellow Russian Anastasiia Gureva in a 6-7(5)/6-4/7-6(2) final, claiming her third pro crown and improving to 24-4 in pro events this season.

Gureva had been attempting to win back-to-back challenger titles.

On the junior circuit, with no J1 events this week, one turns to the J2 Copa Argentina event, where 17-year old Peruvian PĂ©rez AlarcĂłn claimed her biggest career title. The #41-ranked girl defeated top seed Luciana Moyano (#15; and a previous J1 champ in '22) in three sets in the final. The two combined to take home the doubles championship.

This is certainly a better memory for PĂ©rez AlarcĂłn than the one she took home from Wimbledon, where she dropped her 1st Round match to Ella Seidel after having held 10 MP.
===============================================
DOUBLES: Tereza Mihalikova/Aldila Sutjiadi, SVK/INA
...2022 has been a breakout season for Sutjiadi, as the 27-year old Indonesian has picked up her maiden tour title (in Bogota), and reached another final, won a $100K crown (Charleston) and this week grabbed her first career WTA 125 crown while partnering Mihalikova.

The #1-seeds, they knocked off fourth-seeded Friedsam/N.Kichenok in the semis, then handled Ashlyn Krueger/Elli Mandlik in straights in the final. Sutjiadi has reached five WTA/WTA 125 finals since July of last year.

For Mihalikova, it was her third career WTA 125 win (to go along w/ a tour-level win in Portoroz last year), and her second this season.


===============================================









kosova-font

1. Tampico 125 Final - Elisabetta Cocciaretto def. Magda Linette
...7-6(5)/4-6/6-1. 2022 has seen numerous career jumps from the Italian ranks, but Cocciaretto's win is just the third by an Italian woman this season above the ITF challenger level.

Martina Trevisan won the nation's lone tour-level crown in Rabat, while Sara Errani claimed a 125 this summer.


===============================================
2. Tampico 125 1st Rd. - Renata Zarazua def. Genie Bouchard
...7-5/1-6/7-5. An uneven match for Bouchard, who falls to 6-8 in '22.

The Canadian led 5-2 in the 1st, only to see Zarazua run off five straight games to take the opener. Bouchard then won five straight games in the 2nd to even match, and led 3-1 in the 3rd, having pushed her game streak to seven and eight of nine. But the Mexican surged last, taking the set at 7-5.


===============================================
3. Tampico 125 2nd Rd. - Elisabetta Cocciaretto def. Marie Bouzkova 2-6/6-3/7-5
Tampico 125 QF - Elisabetta Cocciaretto def. Camila Osorio 4-6/7-6(5)/6-2
...back-to-back comeback wins for the Italian, who rallied from 2-0 back in the 3rd against Guadalajara semifinalist Bouzkova, then from 6-4/2-0 against Osorio a round later.


===============================================
4. $25K Tmava SVK Final - Vera Lapko def. Lucie Havlickova
...4-6/7-6(1)/6-2. 17-year old Havlickova, the girls' RG champ and U.S. Open finalist, reaches her first pro singles final. She came within two points of a straight sets win at 5-4 in the 2nd, but sees Lapko ('16 AO Jr. champ) surge back to claim her seventh career ITF crown, and first since 2018.
===============================================
5. $60K Toronto CAN Final - Robin Anderson def. Jang Su-jeong
...6-2/6-4. Anderson, now 29, wins her second $60K challenger title of the season, tying her win in Orlando in May for the biggest title of her pro career.
===============================================






kosova-font

1. Tampico 125 QF - Rebecca Marino def. Leylah Fernandez
...6-3/6-3. Later teammates. First opponents.

In their first career meeting, Marino won the all-Canadian battle, putting yet another stamp on a successful comeback campaign.

Of course, all things being equal, Fernandez would surely prefer to be in Fort Worth rather than Tampico at this time of year. But after defending her Monterrey title in February, then reaching the Indian Wells Round of 16 and Roland Garros QF in the spring, the 20-year old's season prospects were essentially thwarted by a broken foot that caused her to miss the grass season and see her hard court summer be a slow-going affair. Fernandez came into Tampico having gone 2-5 since Paris, including a 1st Round loss in her U.S. Open return, so her two additional wins this week amount to her best post-injury result over the nearly three month period since her early August return.


===============================================
2. Tampico 125 1st Rd. - Magda Linette def. Bianca Fernandez
...6-3/6-0. After qualifiying to reach the MD of her biggest career event, the 18-year old sister (world #806) of Leylah falls to the eventual finalist.
===============================================

It'd be funny if he ended up being Coach of the Year, wouldn't it? He's surely on the short list (w/ David Witt and a few others).

It's hard to believe anything other than Papa Garcia likely having had *something* to do with Perret feeling the need to walk away, right? Sigh.

As someone says in the comment thread here, bigger doesn't mean better. The reason Hopman Cup worked was because it wasn't some sprawling, multi-city, overstuffed money-grab. It was a more intimately-set event, w/ a small field (8 teams of 2) that stressed the *fun* over stakes, making it something of a "welcome to the new season" get-together. This seems very opposite of that.

So does this mean we're going to have to go through all that U.S. Open BS again?

Well, at least until the wrong people get into office who'll decide to throw out the votes for the winning candidates because they don't like who they were cast for. But until then -- which might be as soon as January all over the country -- well, yeah, that's true.
