Su-wei’s triumph now means that all of No. 1 seed Halep, No. 2 seed Caroline Wozniacki, No. 3 seed Garbiñe Muguruza, No. 4 seed Sloane Stephens, No. 5 seed Elina Svitolina, No. 6 seed Caroline Garcia, No. 8 seed Petra Kvitova, No. 9 seed Venus Williams, and No. 10 seed Madison Keys have all been eliminated via upset…

Bertens eliminated Venus Williams in straight sets Friday.

Serious question(s): How do you propose to force players to go where they don’t want to? The league already has a draft (economically unfair and unjust), and max contracts (economically unfair and unjust). What additional (economically unfair and unjust) mechanisms do you want to put in place so that homers can get…

I know division play doesn’t really matter anymore, but you’d think the Southeast would’ve shown some interest in cousins.
