Way to go, Jess. Hopefully she can keep it going to the finals.
Augie Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Just watched the semi’s and she won in 3 sets. On to the Finals! Congrats! Nice interview post match, too. Very likable. I also like that they show the coaching. Big change from the days where hand signals from the stands could cost you.

Sorry I missed that, but love the result! Enjoyed watching her yesterday.

She's playing the best of her career, Augie. Hopefully that means good things for the Open. Would love to see her at least reach the final 16.
LabattBlue Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Is this the big-time womens circuit, or some junior tour?

Would love to see her at least reach the final 16. Yesterday they asked her if she was peaking. She said “well, I’ve got my highest ranking ever, so yes!” Very likable. The Mrs works in NYC about half the month starting early this year. I’ve been threatening to go to the Open for years, and this may just be the year! A buddy goes fairly frequently. I actually prefer the early rounds and the smaller courts. Practice courts just might be better than matches! 1

WTA tourneys usually get players that are in the 35-100 rankings in the world. Its the big time circuit without the top names. Jessica won about $40,000 for winning the tournament...the closer the calendar gets to a major tournament, the better the fields for the WTA tourneys become.

Yeah, this level in both men’s and women’s will get you plenty of people you’ll recognize at The Open, Wimbledon, etc. I went to the BB&T Open in Atlanta recently. We saw plenty of names you’d recognize if you follow the game at all, and plenty of strangers. I remember seeing Nishikori at the Sarasota Open years ago and he was a stranger who stood out. I see he’s #7 right now. Side note: The women want equality in pay. I am ALL FOR equality. So play five set matches....or be quiet. Sorry, just a pet peeve, maybe because Serena pushes the topic.

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Look, I know she doesn't need the money. However, earning her first championship and winning $43,000 in her chosen vocation...that's pretty sweet. 2
