#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#i#ed_cl#Why would that be surprising, given that Petra hasn't played a match this year, is returning from an assault that could've preempted her career, was unsure that she would participate up to 2 days ago and with no match play, doubts about her being physically ready to compete? Likely, participants considered some if not all of those factors, for it's the only reasons why Petra isn't on my team. Now, that I've seen that she's ready, willing and able to play, she'll definitely be on my Wimby team, as well as Vika. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Re the Skan contest, what "is" surprising is that only one person selected Angie for their team, a player ranked "numero uno", which must be a lst in the Skan's history.#ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Noted that no one picked Kvitova...

Wow, so happy for Bukakcay .. Finally she wins a match. lol#ed_op#br#ed_cl#I have Baroni in my team but still happy.. She was last in my team so it doesn't hurt. My team is still fine.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Buyukakcay needed a win badly. Glad she gone one. Mission accomplished !!!!#ed_op#br#ed_cl#She can bail out in her next match.

Kvitova was on a roll before her injury, and the rest of the top 10 is in shambles. I expected at least a few of her fans to have taken the risk "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience"
"Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it"
Didn't know Lucic withdrew from Strasbourg due to injury... Would not have selected her for the Skan.

I picked Baroni. I was the only one.. I didn't know she withdrew from Strasbourg due to injuries.
 #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Agree that selecting Kerber made no sense.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Re:French Open Skan!!!Uh.......would either Grav' or Ace modify my Skan team by changing Novak's rank from 3 to 2? Thanks.....
Done ... In the old days, this was not allowed.. But about 3 years ago, we changed the rules to show more flexibility. LaughinCavalier is one of the prominent victims.
He will come screaming bloody murder. lol lol#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Re:French Open Skan!!!Alex Z. loses to Freddy V. 44 teams have been hurt on the Skan....
Re:French Open Skan!!!<font color=brown>@ <b>rex</b>:</font>
I know... Well, at least a few got damaged by Konta... And Halep still has to show that she is fit enough... "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience"

Yes, I was one of 10 done in by Johanna today. Again, wasn't optimistic about the French anywho, especially for the ladies. Yet, didn't expect Johanna to prepare for grass this early.
