*WEEK 19*

[Rome 1st-3rd Rd.]




RISERS: Mayar Sherif/EGY and Sara Sorribes Tormo/ESP
...after starting the year at 0-5 in non-BJK Cup (where she went 4-1) matches, Sherif has found her footing on the clay in recent weeks, going 7-3 in Madrid, Lleida (125) and Rome.

Coming off a 125 runner-up result (her first loss in seven 125 event finals), the Egyptian added wins over Petra Martic and Jasmine Paolini to reach the 3rd Round in Rome for the first time. Sherif had previously been 0-1 in MD matches in the tournament, and outside of Madrid ('23 QF, '24 3r) has had very little career success in 1000 events (going 2-14 in 1000 MD events elsewhere before this past week).

Facing off with Victoria Azarenka for a spot in the second week, Sherif forced things to three sets (she'd led 5-1 in the 2nd before Vika got the set to a TB, won 8-6 by the Egyptian) before being taken out by the former Rome finalist (2013).



After reaching the singles 4th Round in Madrid (w/ wins over Pera, Svitolina & Azarenka), Sorribes Tormo ultimately won the doubles title on home clay with Cristina Bucsa last weekend. She didn't follow up by making the second week in Rome, but she continued her rebound from that 6-1/6-0 dismantling by Iga Swiatek in Spain, getting good wins over Nadia Podoroska and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to reach the 3rd Round (her best result ever in the event).

Facing off with Alona Ostapenko at her most Ostapenkovian -- i.e. 72 winners and 69 unforced errors -- Sorribes Tormo won the 2nd set to force a decider, but fell to the Latvian in three.
===============================================
SURPRISES: Naomi Osaka/JPN and Rebecca Sramkova/SVK
...I honestly didn't think she'd live up to it, but Osaka *does* seem to be committed to posting some good results on the dirt in this first spring of her comeback. (Backspinner tips his hat to thee, Naomi.)

Osaka's best big event career results on clay (for now) remain back-to-back QF runs in Madrid and Rome in 2019, but she's pushing to add another entry to the list after first week wins over Clara Burel, Marta Kostyuk and Dasha Kasatkina, the latter two her first and second career Top 20 victories on clay.



After clay losses to Martina Trevisan and Liudmila Samsonova in two of her first three clay matches since 2022, Osaka could have said that she'd given it a nice try but it just didn't work out, then virtually limped through the next few weeks/months waiting for summer hard courts. It's nice to see a former slam winner with a dominant record on one surface putting in the effort to add some additional arrows to her career results quiver. Now we just need to see Iga Swiatek do the same on grass.

Osaka has said she wants to improve on grass, as well. But while Iga has shown progress (7-1 in '23) on the lawns, Osaka hasn't even *played* a match on the surface since 2019. This summer could be interesting.

While Osaka has previously soared to great heights, 27-year old Sramkova enters uncharted territory as she heads into the second week in Rome.



The Slovak qualified with wins over Harriet Dart and Darja Semenistaja, then posted three MD victories, including knocking off Katie Boulter and Sofia Kenin to reach her first 1000 3rd and 4th Rounds. Against Kenin, Sramkova came back from 3-1 down in the 3rd to get the victory.

Sramkova also qualified to make her 1000 debut earlier this season at Indian Wells (getting a 1r win over Wang Yafan), but she's 0-2 in slam MD (w/ 19 Q-round losses since 2016). #120 heading into Rome, she'll breeze past her career high (#111) and into the Top 90 in the live rankings.
===============================================
VETERANS: Madison Keys/USA and Sorana Cirstea/ROU
...they don't occur often, but Keys is in the middle of a rare, *consistent* stretch of good results. Coming off a Madrid semifinal, she's into the second week in Rome with wins over Camila Osorio and Beatriz Haddad Maia.

Her (so far) 4th Round result continues her best season run at 1000 tournaments since 2016, as she's reached at least the 3rd Round in four straight such events this year, and now three consecutive 4th Rounds (I.W. 3r, Miami 4r, Madrid SF). Eight years ago, Keys reached at least the 3rd Round in six such events (including 4 consecutive QF+).

So far 6-1 in the Madrid/Rome combo, Keys has a chance at topping her most consistent single-season run (7-2 in '16) at the biggest pre-RG clay tournaments on the schedule.



Though Simona Halep is still not back full time on tour, Cirstea is keeping up the veteran Romanian presence in Rome. A dozen years after her best run in the Italian Open, 34-year old Cirstea is back in the headlines.

Cirstea got wins over a pair of Czechs -- Brenda Fruhvirtova and Marketa Vondrousova -- during the opening week, staging a comeback from 5-3 down in the 1st vs. the latter to force a TB (she won 7-1) and live to play in the Round of 16. The win over reigning Wimbledon champ Vondrousova is Cirstea's third over a Top 10 player this year (second over Vondrousova). It's her first on clay since 2012 (Bartoli in Madrid), and just her second since the 2009 Roland Garros (def. both Wozniacki and Jankovic).



Cirstea's best Rome result had been a 3rd Round (then Round of 16) in 2012, in what was her tournament debut. Before this week, she'd never advanced past the 2nd Round in five MD appearances since then.
===============================================
COMEBACKS: Angelique Kerber/GER and Paula Badosa/ESP
...prior to this past week in Rome, the best (and, really, only) run in Kerber's comeback had come in Indian Wells, where she reached the Round of 16 and got wins over Alona Ostapenko and Veronika Kudermetova.

Without a win on clay court since the 2nd Round of Roland Garros in '22, the German has been on point in Italy. She allowed just one game to Lauren Davis, then three to Kudermetova (a '23 Rome semifinalist). Against Aliaksandra Sasnovich, Kerber trailed 5-2 in the 2nd set, but saved a pair of SP and knocked off the Belarusian in straights to reach the Round of 16 in Rome for the first time since 2018 (QF).

Kerber's best result in the event was a SF a dozen years ago.



Badosa has been playing through injury (most significantly, her back) for the past year, but could it be that she's finally made it through to the other side?

Even before Rome, though she had just a 1-3 record on clay this season, there had been some encouraging signs, including recent wins over the returning Simona Halep (Miami) and Diana Shnaider (Stuttgart), and taking Aryna Sabalenka to three sets (Stuttgart) before being forced to retire. In Rome, Badosa has added a trio of wins over Mirra Andreeva, Emma Navarro and (once again) Shnaider to level her season record to 9-9 and play into the second week.

Though Badosa's biggest titles (Indian Wells, Sydney) have come on hard court, her best slam results have come on the clay in Paris. She reached her lone major QF at RG in '21 and is 9-3 there in her career.


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



FRESH FACES: Zheng Qinwen/CHN and Diana Shnaider/RUS
...Zheng has been pretty quiet since reaching her maiden slam singles final in Melbourne in Janaury. She came into Rome at 5-6 in tour-level matches (+ 2-0 in BJK zone play) since the Australian Open.

Maybe her '24 Act Two has finally begun, though, as Zheng has followed up her '23 QF result in Rome by playing into the second week for a second straight year on the strength of victories over Shelby Rogers and Linda Noskova.



Shnaider posted her best career 1000 result in Rome, reaching the 3rd Round after knocking off Greet Minnen (2 & 3) and Liudmila Samsonova (1 & 3).

The Hordette carried over the roll in the 3rd Round, as well, taking the 1st set from Paula Badosa before the (healthy, it seems) Spaniard rallied to win in three.


===============================================
DOWN: Ekaterina Alexandrova/RUS and Veronika Kudermetova/RUS
...it wasn't a good week (and hasn't been a good few weeks) for these Hordettes.

Alexandrova was ousted in her opening match in Rome by Aliaksandra Sasnovich, falling 6-0/6-1 (w/ 10 DF) to drop to 0-4 on clay this season. She's only won one set during the stretch (vs. Jabeur in Charleston), and has now gone down in five straight matches since posting back-to-back Top 5 wins over Jessie Pegula and Iga Swiatek to reach the Miami semifinals.

A year ago, Alexandrova's clay season included a Charleston QF, Madrid Round of 16 and Roland Garros 3rd Round.

Meanwhile, Kudermetova -- a semifinalist last year in Rome -- fell in her opening match to Angelique Kerber, 6-3/6-0. She's 1-4 since reaching the QF in Charleston, and is now 7-12 on the season. In 2023, she posted consecutive SF results at Madrid and Rome.

So far in 2024, Kudermetova has been virtually blanked in the schedule's biggest events, getting just a single match win combined in the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Rome.
===============================================



ITF PLAYERS: Dominika Salkova/CZE and Moyuka Uchijima/JPN
...another week, another Crusher champion.

19-year old Salkova picked up the $75K Prague crown, dropping just one set en route to her sixth win in six career ITF finals. The Czech defeated Pole Maja Chwalinska 6-3/6-0 in the final, and will rise to a live #150 (a new CH) in the rankings on Monday.

In Trnava (SVK), 22-year old Uchijima continued her great season on the challenger circuit, picking up her fourth title in four finals this season (12th overall) while improving to 32-9 on the year.

Uchijima extended her current winning streak to ten matches (she's on a 17-1 run) with a 7-6/6-3 victory in the final over German veteran Mona Barthel. She'll now crack the Top 100 in the live rankings (#93), and is the new JPN #1 as she moves just past Nao Hibino (while Naomi Osaka looms, still a bit back in the #130s... for now).


===============================================
JUNIOR STARS: Reina Goto/JPN and Akasha Urhobo/USA
...hmmm, is this the leading edge of an "Osaka effect?"

On the heels of the '24 success of the likes of Maya Crossley (J300 title, $35K ITF final) and Wakana Sonobe (J500 title, $15K ITF final), another Japanese junior shined in Nonthaburi (THA) as 16-year old Goto (girls' #59) won the J300 Asia/Oceania regional championship.

Top-seeded Gotto posted wins over players from Kazakhstan, Australia, India and Malaysia before defeating fellow Japanese teen Shiho Tsujioka (the #7 seed, who'd defeated the #4 seed), 6-4/6-3 in the final.

Meanwhile, expect to hear the name of 17-year old Urhobo more as things move along, as she's been labeled a "phenom" and "prodigy" for years (check out the Twitter search of her name and how far some of the posts go back).

Qualifier Urhobo won the battle of teenagers over 16-year old wild card Iva Jovic at the $75K challenger in Zephyrillis, Florida, this week to claim her maiden pro title after nibbling away at the edges of the accomplishment all season long, including reaching a $100K final last week (w/ wins over Whitney Osuigwe and Varvara Lepchenko), and additional RU, SF and QF results in a trio of $35K events earlier in '24. She's only played one junior match all season (a loss in Indian Wells), but reached the SF at the Orange Bowl in December.

This week she got wins over Ann Li and Hanna Chang en route to the final, with the win over Jovic topping off her seven-victory week. She'll climb from #506 to inside the Top 360 in the live pro rankings heading into next week.
===============================================



WHEELCHAIR: CHN World Team Cup and Li Xiaohui/CHN
...well, it had to happen sometime, right? Right? Well, either way, Diede de Groot's three-year singles winning streak ended in Antalya (TUR) this weekend, and with it went the World Team Cup championship, claimed by China for just the second time (the Netherlands has won 33 crowns).

In an event that saw world #2 Yui Kamiji not available for the Japanese roster, it seemed it'd be something of a cakewalk for the Dutch. As expected, the nation breezed through the round robin and SF stages without dropping a match (9-0) or set (18-0) with de Groot, Aniek Van Koot and Lizzy de Greef/Jinte Boss (in WD) dusting off every opponent put in front of them.

But then Wang Ziying, previously 1-4 vs. the veteran, upset Van Koot 6-1/6-3 in the final's opener to give China the lead. More shockingly, de Groot then fell 6-3/6-2 to Li Xiaohui while trying to keep the tie alive, once again seeing her serve fail her, but also with her opponent employing a big backhand and collecting many points on her first serve, closing the door in a way that no other player has been able to do when de Groot has struggled on occasion in the past.

De Groot had defeated the 24-year old Li twice earlier this season, but had been taken to three sets at the Melbourne Open in January. Still, Li had scored just three total games against her in their last three sets after losing the 3rd set at love in Melbourne, then falling 2 & love in the Cajun Classic in Louisiana in March.

The loss ends de Groot's 145-match winning streak (her singles title and slam match win/title streaks remain active, of course).

2024 is only Li's second full season on the wheelchair pro tour. She won nine titles last season (none so far this year), but nothing above the Series 2 (w/ 2 wins) level, and with five coming in Futures tournaments. Ranked #12 in the world, Li has yet to make her slam debut.

NOTE: I'd include the video of the final, but the ITF's YouTube page includes both all-day Centre Court and Court 1 videos for five of the six days of the event, but does *not* include Day 5's Centre Court slate. Guess when the women's final took place. So, here's Li's MP vs. de Groot instead...


France took home third place in the event, with newcomer Ksenia Chasteau, 18, leading the way.
===============================================

[Rome 1st-3rd Rd.]



1. World Team Cup (WC) Final, Match #2 - Li Xiaohui/CHN def. Diede de Groot/NED
...6-3/6-2. 24-year old Li stuns de Groot, ending the world #1's 145-match winning streak and preventing the Dutch from lifting a 34th World Team Cup title. Instead, China wins its second (w/ 2017, when it also def. NED in the final).

As if often the case when de Groot struggles, her wayward serve played a big role. With 10 DF on the day, de Groot won just 26% of first serve points (5/19) and just 32% of her second (11/34). She won just 40 of the 101 points in the match, and failed to combat neither Li's first serve (winning just 36% of first serve points) nor the Chinese woman's big backhand.
===============================================



2. Rome 3rd Rd. - Iga Swaitek def. Yulia Putintseva
...6-3/6-4. Well, at least she didn't squander a MP, right?

Putintseva's great spring 1000 run -- 13-3 (w/ Rome wins over Trevisan and Stephens) with an I.W. 4r, Miami/Madrid QF, her first Top 10 win since '22 (Zheng) and 2 MP held vs. Rybakina -- nearly pushed Swiatek to the limit, as well. After forcing Swiatek to play nearly an hour (50 minutes) to win the 1st, Putintseva held a 4-1 lead in the 2nd, with a BP for 5-1, only to see the world #1 rally to close things out in straights.


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



3. Rome 1st Rd. - Anna Blinkova def. Diane Parry
...6-2/6-3. Blinkova finally ends her five-match losing streak, getting her first victory since her consecutive wins over Karolina Pliskova and Jessie Pegula in Indian Wells in March.

Rome 2nd Rd. - Danielle Collins def. Anna Blinkova 6-4 ret.
...then, naturally, Blinkova went down in the next round and was forced to retire.


===============================================
4. Rome 1st Rd. - Sofia Kenin def. Lucia Bronzetti
...6-3/6-2. A week after ending her overall nine-match losing streak (in 125 Lleida), Kenin posts her first tour-level victory since the 1st Round in Hobart on January 9.



This was a match in which Kenin was forced to play through the rain, and got the bad end of things from the crowd, only to be proven correct when it started to rain *harder*. She won a point, yelled at the crowd... then proceeded to remove an Italian from the draw (i.e. a Roman hat trick).



The inspiration carried over...

Rome 2nd Rd. - Sofia Kenin def. Ons Jabeur
...7-5/2-6/6-4. Kenin followed up with a win over Jabuer (who had 60 UE), recording her first Top 10 victory since defeating Coco Gauff in that "last straw" match last summer at Wimbledon.


===============================================
5. Rome 3rd Rd. - Rebecca Sramkova def. Sofia Kenin
...6-4/4-6/6-4. The Slovak's biggest career run comes at the expense of Kenin in a rollercoaster affair.

Sramkova rallied from 3-0 back to win the 1st, only to then drop the 2nd set after leading 3-1. But have no fear, just like a broken clock, sometimes a match is correct twice a day. Sramkova fell behind 3-1 in the 3rd, but pulled off the last comeback of the day to advance.
===============================================
6. Rome Q1 - Darja Semenistaja def. Jessica Bouzas Maneiro
...4-6/6-0/7-5. Bouzas Maneiro is 30-9 on the season, but this one won't go on her highlight reel.

The Spaniard turned around a 3-1 deficit in the 3rd, and led 5-3. With Semenistaja serving in game 9, Bouzas Maniero led 15/40 and had three MP in the game. The Latvian held, but Bouzas Maneiro got another shot, having two *more* MP at 5-4, 40/15.

She didn't win another game.
===============================================
7. Rome Q1 - Aliaksandra Sasnovich def. Alycia Parks
...6-1/6-1. Parks' tendency to fall like a rock after a good result is miraculous. Last season, it came after a title run in Lyon. The loss to Sasnovich drops her to 2-13 on the year, with her 12th straight defeat. She's lost 22 consecutive sets, and 24 of the last 25.

Thing is, Parks' last win was a good one over #32-seed Leylah Fernandez in the 2nd Round at the Australian Open. She lost 6-0/6-2 to Coco Gauff a round later, and has barely come up for air since.

So, she's 2-1 in slam play this year, and 0-12 everywhere else. Make it make sense!
===============================================



8. Rome 1st Rd. - Elina Avanesyan def. Cristina Bucsa
...6-7(3)/6-0/7-5. Bucsa won the 1st set in a TB, then lost eight consecutive games. The Spaniard rallied to lead 5-3 in the 3rd, but fell behind love/40 when serving for the win and never won another game on the day. She *did* hold a MP on Avanesyan's serve in the next game, though.
===============================================



9. Rome 1st Rd. - Sara Errani def. Amanda Anisimova
...4-6/6-2/6-1. Anisimova falls again, for the third straight time on clay this season.

The Bannerette was a 2019 semifinalist at Roland Garros, but since Anismova's great 2022 clay court run -- Charleston SF, Madrid QF, Rome QF, RG 4r -- she's won just one match on clay (and played just five matches on the surface).
===============================================
10. Rome 2nd Rd. - Marketa Vondrousova def. Ana Bogdan
...6-2/3-6/6-4. Trailing 6-2/3-1, Bogdan reels off seven straight games to lead 2-0 in the 3rd. The Romanian held a 3-1 edge in the decider, only to see Vondrousova repay the favor with her own comeback to get the win.

Bogdan had upset Leylah Fernandez in the 1st Round. She still hasn't won back-to-back matches since her Cluj final run in early February.


===============================================
11. Rome 1st Rd. - Lesia Tsurenko def. Donna Vekic
...6-2/3-6/7-6(5). Vekic forced a 3rd set TB after falling behind 3-0, but falls to 10-10 on the year with the loss. The Croat started '24 at a promising 4-1.

Rome 2nd Rd. - Anhelina Kalinina def. Lesia Tsurenko 2-0 ret.
...Tsurenko lasted just two games a round later, offering up her second retirement/walkover of the '24 season after pulling the ripcord 15 times over the last three seasons combined (6 each in 2022 and '23, and 3 in '21).


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



12. Rome 3rd Rd. - Alona Ostapenko def. Sara Sorribes Tormo
...6-4/5-6/6-1. Ummm...



So, just a normal Ostapenko match, I guess.
===============================================
13. Rome Q1 - Aleksandra Krunic def. Bai Zhuoxuan
...2-6/7-5/6-2. A nice comeback from The Bracelet, who rallied from 6-2/5-3 back, saving triple MP as Bai served up 5-4, 40/love. Krunic fell down a break at 2-1 in the 3rd, then swept the final five games.

Unfortunately, Krunic lost in the Q2 and failed to reach the MD. It would have been just her second (w/ Miami this year) 1000 MD appearance since 2019 (also in Miami).
===============================================
14. $75K Saint-Gaudens FRA Final - Claire Liu def. Selena Janicijevic
...6-1/6-7(3)/6-0. Liu, the '17 RG junior runner-up, wins her first singles title since grabbing a 125 crown two years ago.

Liu hadn't gotten past the 2nd Round in her previous ten events in 2014.
===============================================



15. $75K Zephyrills (FLA) USA 1st Rd. - Genie Bouchard def. Justine Mikulskyte 6-1/6-2
$75K Zephyrills (FLA) USA 2nd Rd. - Genie Bouchard def. Fanny Stollar 6-1/2-6/6-4
$75K Zephyrills (FLA) USA QF - Kayla Day def. Genie Bouchard 6-7(4)/7-5/0-0 ret.
...hey, I think I remember her.

Taking a break from the pickleball tour, world #446 Bouchard (via a wild card) plays her first actual tennis since last September. She posted a pair of wins, over #224 Justina Mikulskyte and #265 Fanny Stollar, and actually served for the match vs. #96 Kayla Day, but couldn't close the door and then retired after losing the 2nd set.
===============================================






kosova-font

[Rome 1st-3rd Rd.]

1. Rome 2nd Rd. - Dayana Yastremska def. Laura Siegemund
...4-6/7-5/6-2. Siegemund came in with a head of steam, making it through qualifying and posting back-to-back wins over young Argentines Julia Riera and Maria Lourdes Carle. She led AO semifinalist Yastremska 6-4/5-2, serving and holding a pair of MP at 5-3. Yastremska claimed the final four games to force a 3rd set, then after falling behind an early break at 2-1 went on another streak (5 straight games) to end the match.

Siegemund had one shot to get back on serve, but failed to put away her only BP in the final stretch when trailing 3-2.
===============================================
2. Rome 1st Rd. - Brenda Fruhvirtova def. Taylor Townsend 3-6/6-2/6-0
Rome 1st Rd. - Tatjana Maria def. Linda Fruhvirtova 7-6(5)/3-6/6-2
...both Fruhvirtova sisters made their way through qualifying, but only Brenda got a MD win in her Rome debut (the 17-year's second 1000 victory, along with Miami earlier this year). 19-year old Linda is now 0-2 in Rome MD matches.

Nominations for the Heart Award in zone play:

Americas: Yuliana Lizarazo/COL and Julia Riera/ARG
Asia/Oceania: Jang Su-jeong/KOR and Wang Xinyu/CHN
Europe/Africa I: Suzan Lamens/NED and Clara Tauson/DEN

For once, I don't have any issues with these nominations. Usually, there are some "huh?" moments when these lists come out, but all (save for Wang, but *any* CHN player could have been chosen) were my picks as MVPs.

Any memory of the field of teams in the old "World Elking League?"

Well, one of them was named the Saskatoon Berrypickers.



Beginning play this month in their inaugural minor league baseball season...



Maybe the Saskatoon Berries organiziation will allow an "elking demonstration" one night during the seventh inning stretch?

Seriously, though, the Berrypickers *would* be a better name than the Berries for a team playing minor league baseball, where names like the Biloxi Shuckers and Rocket City Trash Pandas thrive.

Of course, we know that it wasn't the Berrypickers who reached the 2022 World Elking Cup held across the Backspin Academy campus during that year's Winterfest.

FLASHBACK: In an historic match-up, the Herders of Mongolia defeated the Yukon Malamutes in two games, clinching the Golden Horn trophy by following up a defensive 18-17 win in Game 1 (the lowest scoring Cup match since 1976 in the deep snow of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) with a record-breaking 111-2 victory (the biggest Cup blowout ever!) in Game 2. Mongolia's Tahar, just 16, picked up the Crystal Hoof as the top player of the tournament, cementing his name in elking lore forever thereafter.



Tahar just recently became the international cashmere spokesperson for NAADAM, a company which "responsibly sources & produces luxury knitwear while preserving nomadic lifestyle in Mongolia." Trust me, this is a *very* big deal.
