Tell me about it. I even started posting the tournament info in the old thread.

[jhkjurter]

Main Draw - WTA

WC-Kimiko Date Krumm vs. (6) Shahar Peer

Before she saw her draw, Peer had probably been thinking, "it can't get any worse than losing to 78-year-old Craybas in Seoul..."

[sherrferris]

Shahar will probably draw Margaret Court in the next tournament.

[jhkjurter]

Shahar will probably draw Margaret Court in the next tournament.

"...Court used her heavy serve effectively to down the slumping Israeli, 7-5, 6-3...."

[pongeystrhjst]

Ome more win in the qualies and Rika will be in the main draw.

Why are there dueling WTA(III)/ATP Tokyo 9/29-10/5/2008 threads?

Why are there dueling WTA(III)/ATP Tokyo 9/29-10/5/2008 threads?

If the WTA can't make up their minds, why should we?

[TXmjLW9b]

Thanks Dry but it was a brain fart on my part. The other one is closed now.

[nitivearchit]

Is it raining in Tokyo? Only one match going on. Should be at least 3 or 4.
