What is her injury preventing playing in China this fall?

Maddie? I saw a comment that it is a shoulder injury? Apparently she at least mentioned it on the Players Box podcast she is part of. But I haven't listened/watched myself.

Now folks like Osaka who has lived and trained in Florida, will do well! it isnt about the tennis any more.

[ashkor87]

Siegemund over Andreeva was an almost textbook example of when to go to the net, and how effective it is, in these conditions...

[JTContinental]

I didn’t see the match, but since Andreeva is peevish and Siegemund is peeving, that would not be a good matchup for Mirra.

what I saw is Siegemund picking her approach shots well and volleying to finish the point, which she always does well but what was really special was her choice of when to approach the net.. volleying is a very effective way to win a point on a slow court but you cant just blindly rush there, especially against someone like Andreeva, who has great passing shots.

one of the more interesting (and encouraging) developments is the rise of Siniakova as a formidable singles player.. inspired by Krejcikova, I wonder? Her serving action is a joke, but the serve itself is reasonably effective, and the rest of her game is really good, volleys, serve returns..

[ashkor87]

What is her injury preventing playing in China this fall?

Maddie? I saw a comment that it is a shoulder injury? Apparently she at least mentioned it on the Players Box podcast she is part of. But I haven't listened/watched myself.

yes, shoulder.. but she may have recovered by now, hopefully? I dont see her playing anywhere though.. sadly.

[ashkor87]

Sabalenka was frighteningly good against Samsonova, a pretty good, powerful player herself.. Rybakina next.. that should be a great match. Rybakina usually does well against Sabalenka on these kinds of courts, so it could be a good match anyway.

Rybakina and Paolini are racing towards the last spot on the YEC roster (as I said, maybe both will get in if Maddy doesnt play). Rybakina is only about 50 points ahead in the race right now.

She was already good. Her story is one of a player that went from a decent singles player to a player that focused mostly on the doubles. Her success there is clear, but she was not clueless when playing singles. If she is now getting better in singles, good for her. But she was there before.

?

Siniakova has always been a pretty formidable singles player--well before Krejcikova, who has a very different playing style--not top tier, but she never will be.
