Prakash is next up against wildcard Scoville Jenkins, who just walloped Bracciali (guy who took Roddick to 5 sets on grass a couple years back).

Wow and Backinszky had just scalped two top-20 players last week. Good luck this week, Shikha.

Dushevina won 7-6, 6-3 

Amazing win (and nice revenge there)... I'm particularly amazed she bageled a top 10 player. I'd say this is her best win ever, topping the Kuznetsova upset.

That's terrific stuff against Tursunov. But I have to wonder if Tursunov hasn't gotten over the physical/emotional toll of Davis Cup and maybe he wasn't playing his best. I'd prefer to think our guy was putting his skills on display though 

I've been a little behind with how our stars have been progressing, but I just checked out the WTA page, and good lawdy... she scalped Vesnina 3 and love? Good going, Neha...

That's too bad. Do you know the 3rd set score? The tournament website scoring pages are pitiful.

good luck to our players! hope they make a great showing.

This is a week late, but hurray for the doubles win~~!

Haven't posted in ages, but thrilled Prakash and Rohan are playing so well. I mean damn, Cyril Saulnier?!

Alright! Knocked off the top seed

Shikha led 4-2 in the final set, but lost it 6-4

Wow, Pat Etcheberry! Impressed. If she can get through that training, she has my utmost respect

I remember watching a player on the Tennis Channel (Fish maybe?) during an Etcheberry training session and screaming that it was hell LOL.

Awesome win! Who's next now? Rohan vs a tired Bjorkman?

This is a very good final - Croatia vs Slovakia. I'll root for Croatia as Ljubicic/Ancic (Ljubicic much moreso) have pulled off incredible wins. I mean, Ivan was the guy who singlehandedly defeated the United States... twice. Plus that team really shows heart when it comes to playing for their count...
