Reality Tennis TeamApples Thks for posting. At E'bourne there was some words & behaviour court side I thought a bit seedy. Kept thoughts to myself. At end of match, woman on bench next to me said "That was all a bit grubby". So I didnt imagine it.

Emily Appleton 🇬🇧 continues to gain experience and results at WTA level. Has another excellent week in Prague and now back up to her career high of WTA 78th in doubles 👏

It was great fun talking to Candy Reid about life on the pro tennis tour (as a parent). If you fancy a listen then here’s the link! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dia…

So what’s the logic in this…No WTA rankings run before entries to US open doubles closes on Wednesday so Cincinnati points from 2024 stay on & players will be getting in using points from more than 12 months ago. Likewise only 49 pairs get in online (all other slams are 57)? 🤬

Excellent win for Emily Appleton 🇬🇧 & Isabelle Haverlag 🇳🇱 to reach the WTA Cleveland doubles QFs

So when asked why she had entered the USOpen ladies doubles draw today, the singles player replied “why not? It’s good money”-said player has played 2 doubles matches all year & lost both. WTA start giving the doubles players the respect they deserve & use the doubles rankings.

Shame for Emily Appleton 🇬🇧 who is ranked 79th in WTA doubles playing week in week out but can't get in US Open Doubles draw Kartal 🇬🇧 (257th) and Boulter 🇬🇧 (318th) do though.........
