Looks about right if by buy you mean will do better than in '24. Except I think Anisimova is hold at best and Pegula is sell in my opinion.

[ponchi101]

Would not buy Rybakina. Love her, but I see her as Petra 2. That brilliant moment and then... not much more.
Sell Emma. I think she did very well at the USO but she hit that peak there.
I would have never had Alexandrova. No need to sell, buy or keep.
Pegula: sell.
Sinner, Alcaraz and Zverev, keep. Medvedev, sell. Anisimova, never had her, and will remain that way.
Will not buy Noskova. Place an option on Andreeva.
Paolini: keep. She will hover there, because her game is so simple and she can win with legs and her competitive spirit. But don't expect her to repeat 2024.

Option! Wow, getting sophisticated ..call or put?

[ashkor87]

So interesting everyone wants to sell Pegula- except me, and I am no Pegula fan,!

Call option. Not sure if she is ready, after dropping that match to Erika.

[ashkor87]

Sisters beat each other, doesn't mean much..

[ponchi101]

Serena and Venus beat each other, no issues. They were players of similar talents.
Erika is not in Mirra's level. I think.

[ashkor87]

Kr Pliskova leads Ka 5-4..Anand Amritraj often beat Vijay, though I thought they were fixed..

US Open doubles champ Max Purcell has been tagged with a provisional suspension after admitting to doping.

Max Purcell Anti-Doping Violation

Is he saying that he received the medical notes, saw the IV was over 100 ml and voluntarily reported to WADA and got himself suspended? If it was just vitamins, I guess testing wouldn't necessarily show this, so pretty impressive move then.

That was my impression as well.

That was my impression as well.

And he got suspended for taking vitamins?
This really, really, rubs me the wrong way...

Just shows the absurdity of the testing regime..where is Vivek Ramaswamy when we need him,?! He is a tennis player too, sort of...

This case doesn't have anything to do with testing - he didn't test positive for anything.
