WTA & ATP tour

WTA1000 Wuhan, 第2シードのシフィオンテク選手は第7シードのパオリーニ選手相手に
ストレート負けで,準々決勝での敗退となりました。
準決勝の組み合わせは,
第1シードのサバレンカ選手vs第6シードのペグラ選手,
第3シードのガウフ選手vs第7シードのパオリーニ選手,
WTA1000として恥ずかしくない対戦カードですね。

ATP1000 Shanghai, こちらはノーシードの選手の頑張りで,
第16シードのメドベージェフ選手vsランデルクスネ選手,
第4シードのジョコビッチ選手vsバチェロット選手,
Mastersとしては少し寂しい対戦カードかなあ。
とはいえ,メドベージェフ選手とジョコビッチ選手には久しぶりに
Masters優勝するチャンスだから,決勝で対決してほしいですね。
