  • San Diego WTA 500 Oct 10.

    TPN'ers in the SoCal area might be interested in this event, which has a tremendous player entry list.

    Perhaps because this is a stop-gap event, pasted in to fill the gap left by the China-swing being cancelled, it has next to zero visibility. But it features 16 of the top 20 WTA ranked players, including Iga, Coco, Badosa, $757,900 prize money. Entry list is good enough that the reigning Wimbledon champ is listed as an "alternate". {No points for Wimby reverberates.}

    Info: Took some digging but if anyone is interested, tickets to the San Diego WTA 500 are sold only on Seat Geek. Looks as if this was put together by some student interns but the player entry list is awesome. With the Asian swing DOA they're hungry. Still show plans to repeat the 2021 ATP event, but as far as I can tell that never happened. Curious.

    Finals this afternoon have Iga Swiatek vs winner of Donna Vekic vs Danielle Collins, suspended yesterday with Collins up a break in the third set.

    Pegula pushed Iga in their semi but fell in 3 sets.

    Iga got yet another bagel, this in her quarterfinal with Coco. Coco has lost perhaps 6 straight sets to Iga. But glass is half full as Coco is up to 4 in the live rankings, 8 in the 12-month-lagging (or "dead rankings?" )

    Matches in this kind of ad hoc, late tournament have lots of implications for WTA tour final -- moved to Texas.

    Collins topping Badosa, for instance. Badosa hasn't done much since a mid season injury but don't know if that is related. Meanwhile, prior world number 2 Kontaveit has done next to zero since Covid bought that limited ability to practice for an extended period

    "Live" rankings pre today's 1.5 matches are:

    1) Iga
    2) Ons
    3) Pegula
    4) Coco
    5 Garcia
    6 Dasha
    7 Saby
    8 Simona
    9 Kudermetva
    10 Sakkari
    11 Bencic
    12 Badosa
    13 Kontaveit
