You are right, I am wrong. She won in 2024, I think she was injured in 2023.

We had been in a "severe" drought for about two years. But now it has returned to normal, plus a little extra.
It is good for the country; farmers were hurting. But for tennis, well, wrong week for this deluge.

by ponchi101 The weather forecast for Bogota was a prime example of why meteorology is usually seen as a joke.
So we hit the Open yesterday. It was a bit chilly and it drizzled for a little while, but a fine day of tennis.
Caught Bouzkova/Serban. A quick first set, but the second was competitive. Bouzkova's second serve is a glaring weakness, but the BH is a solid shot. To my surprise, she is fluent in Spanish (her Spanish accent betrays tells you she has trained in Spain for a long time) and she gave a very nice interview at the end.
The we caught Tig/Pareja. Pareja is an American youngster (only 16) from California, but her parents are Colombian migrants. So, obviously, the crowd embraced her and, in typical Colombian fashion, it quickly became a Davis Cup match. I guess it was only one guy and me cheering and applauding Tig, who is a veteran on her way out. Pareja won in a 2nd set TB, but needs a lot more power if she is going to make a dent in the pros.
Last match was a quick doubles between two Colombian youngsters and a Brazil/Argie team. The Brazilian woman (she is 30) showed the Colombian girls a lot of corners of the court they did not know existed.
It was fun. May think about going to the Sunday final, if Camilita does not make it.
