Let us hope for a great June/July for sisters. They did so great on grass season. Ula will play Stanford and Carlsbad in California. Aga is scheduled to play Palermo but who knows if she will appear there.

Radwanska, who made her Top 50 debut just this week and will also be playing at the Olympics, under the Polish flag, scored the first upset of the week in Carlsbad, winning a tight two-setter against the No.6 seed, Daniela Hantuchova, coming from a break down in the second set to finish it, 64 75.
Radwanska had lost to Hantuchova routinely in their two previous encounters.
"I knew what to expect from her. I know her game. So I was prepared for this match," Radwanska said afterwards. "I just believed in myself. In February when I played her I wasn't that well prepared, maybe a little bit scared, but this time I believed I could do it and played pretty well, in every area of my game.
"The last couple of weeks I've been playing very well. After every match I've been getting more experience and more confidence. Now I believe I can beat even players from the Top 20, and that was one of the keys for me today."
The younger Radwanska has been keeping in touch a lot with big sister, World No.2 Agnieszka Radwanska. "We talk to each other every day actually - even twice a day sometimes! We're Skyping all the time. I'm asking her how things are going at home in Poland, she's asking me how things are going here. We're in touch all the time. She's at home, resting after Wimbledon, but she's also practicing very hard for the Olympics. We usually only talk one sentence about tennis or matches though - most of the time we talk about other things."

Domi was not that good to begin hitting dfs and missing overheads. But Ula was getting pushed around in most rallies. Only good serving kept Ula in the match. Hit one 2nd serve ace and Domi laughed :lol: Fh was pretty good (definite improvement )
Taped right shoulder. Thought it would be like Aga's last year and bring her the title
Bad draw for Ula and Aga, Aga has Kirilenko in 3rd and Kvitova/Pironkova in QF, Ula has Barthel 1r and Serena 2r. Sisters to face Hantuchova/Cibulkova in doubles, eventual 2r vs Huber/Raymond.
Why is Kiri in R3 a bad draw? I know they had a close match at Wimbledon but Agnieszka should win this one in straight sets.
Kvitova is the real hurdle here, but first both of them need to reach QFs.
Aga shouldn't lose before QF.
Bad draw in doubles, I guess Aga will play mixed
as for Ula...enjoy your time in London
