Sabalenka discusses the differences between Rome and Madrid: "Here, everything is slower, and you have to put more effort into every rally"

Fresh off her Madrid title last Saturday, Aryna Sabalenka extended her winning streak to seven matches this Friday by defeating Anastasia Potapova in the second round of the WTA 1000 in Rome.

The world No. 1, who has yet to win this tournament, explained the differences she feels in gameplay compared to Madrid:

"I had to adjust my game. The playing conditions here are completely different. I’m really happy I managed to get this win. In Madrid, the ball bounces very high, whereas here, everything is lower.

Overall, everything is slower, and you have to put more effort into every rally. I’d say Rome is a more physical tournament. You have to work incredibly hard to win every point."

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
