Glad to see Chwalinska qualify - she has some incredible hands, and IIRC she took a break to recover from depression.
Also glad to see Wickmayer back in the main draw of a big tournament! IIRC she had a baby?
And Schunk! Last year's junior champion, yes? [edit: Last year's junior runner up!]
Meanwhile, I've never heard of Zoe Hives. Just looked her up and she is 25 years old, is ranked in the 500s, didn't play at all in 2020 or 2021, was a wildcard into qualifying at the Australian Open, and is here on a protected ranking to get her into qualifying. Helluva story somewhere in there....

Wickmayer- for nostalgia
Mcfail- excited to see which player she builds a lead against only to flop in the end. Her 2016 match with Serena was high quality
Sharma- very nice player

for me
happiest
jamie fourlis: bec she is so talented and qualified without playing a prep tournament.
fernanda contreraz gomez: mexican queen backed her rg qualification and proved her all court game. i have always a soft spot for consistent and hard working players + her positivity and being from a latin american country are bonus.
emina bektas: have a soft spot for consistent late bloomers too.
catherine harrison: literally the best feel good story of the wimby qualifiers. took the spot in the last second thanx to withdrawals and made it without having any expectations. her liberal views are bonus.
two thumbs up
nastasia schunk: mostly overlooked among german next gens due to her chunkier built. nastya displays huge character and fighting spirit on the tour.
maja chwalinska: this little squirrel chopped the villain of the qualifiers and showed wars are won on the field with spirit.
madison inglis: i like maddie's grind in general and the way she pushes her limits
kasha kawa: have a soft spot for grass experts too. kawa is a huge fade on other surfaces but she is a very skillful grass expert thanx to her brilliant chip and charge games.
happy
mai hontama:. mai has been missing in action since the end of the us swing of 2021. glad she is back.
mirjam bjorklund: backed her rg quals.
yanina wickmayer: familiar names always welcomed
astra sharma: normally i like astra but she played so many bad grass matches this year and qualified thanx to aussie presence on the field. so getting a meh from me
louisa chirico: lowkey louisa becoming relevant again on the tour
indifferent
mchale: xtina tired me so much in the past so feeling indifferent is better.
zoe hives: would anyone tell the story of zoey here? no idea how she made it.
jana fett: same as xtina.

Maja! She’s literally the only player whose matches I watch.
I haven’t seen more than a dozen WTA/Slam matches over the past 4 years.
I still follow tournament results out of habit, and I still consider myself a huge fan of women’s tennis… just not these women in particular.

Congrats to all of them!
But it's great that Nastasja Schunk qualified for Wimbledon.
And Wickmayer of course after having a baby.

Not gonna lie.....Croatian bombshell hottie, Jana Fett.
.....for reasons that should not be difficult to discern. Whaddya gonna do....it's a guy thing.
Wickmayer a close second,.... was an excellent, dangerous player....coming back after giving birth a good story. Ranked something like #800 right now?
