grand slam title in
Konta had looked increasingly capable earlier in the summer of breaking through for a first major, and maybe even contending for the WTA No1 spot, but now has to regroup from a low base.

More than most, she is aware of the abiding uncertainty throughout the top 20. Since Williams��s win in Melbourne, nine players have won the other nine big tournaments: the remaining slams at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows, as well as tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome, Beijing and, at the weekend, the WTA��s end-of-season showpiece in Singapore.

There have been several uplifting moments: the arrival of the feisty new French Open champion, Jelena Ostapenko, the return of Sloane Stephens, the eventual emergence of Caroline Garcia and the heartwarming revival of Venus Williams.
Venus is 37 and has for several years had Sjogren��s syndrome. Yet, having reached her first slam final in eight years, against her sister, she got to the fourth round of the French Open and lost the Wimbledon final to Garbi?e Muguruza. In front of her American fans, she made the second week of a slam for the seventh time in a row, losing in the semi-finals to the eventual champion, Stephens �C who was at the vanguard of an American Tour resurgence.
The public face of the game in Britain, meanwhile, remains eternally cheery and the TV cameras were at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton on Tuesday to bill and coo over the Duchess of Cambridge, who made one of those worthy photocall visits where she hits a few balls with young hopefuls and lets it be known the future must be bright.
The Duchess is the patron of the Lawn Tennis Association �C taking over from the Queen, who was in the job for 64 years until she decided recently to retire gracefully. However, Her Majesty was not a huge fan of the game and was a rare visitor to Wimbledon; the Duchess, apparently, is mad for tennis (and better at it than her husband) �C as she http://www.officialsenatorsonline.com/Colin_White_Jersey told Konta when they chatted on Tuesday.
��It was fantastic to meet Her Royal Highness,�� Konta said. ��She is an incredibly kind and gracious person and that really came through with the interaction I had with her. She asked about my season and the Tennis For Kids activity on court. Having someone like her visit today, with such a passion and interest for the game, brings only good things for our sport.
��To have Dale Weise Womens Jersey someone like The Duchess, with such a high profile and influence, here today to bring such positivity to the sport and interest in activities like the Tennis For Kids programme is great for the sport. The more opportunities we have to shine a light on the sport and instil that passion for playing from an early age the better.
��The children today were so excited to meet a princess and to see them enjoying themselves on court is exactly what this is all about.��
Which is all very velvety-warm and nice but is a long way removed from the hard, professional reality of the game at the highest level, where success is measured in trophies not platitudes.
Back in the mix, of course, is Maria Sharapova, whose return to the game after 15 months out for failing a drugs test was met with more suspicion in the locker room than it was in some commentary boxes. Nevertheless, the Russian is steadily regathering some of her aura. The next year or so will not be dullVenus Williams gained revenge for her Wimbledon final defeat by Garbi?e Muguruza when the American advanced to the last four of the http://www.cowboysshopnfl.com/cowboys+tyron+smith+jersey WTA Finals with a gutsy 7-5, 6-4 victory over the Spanish world No2.
Both players knew a win would secure a passage to the semi-finals as they held identical 1-1 records in White Group at the season-ending event but the 37-year-old was stronger on the key points and moved brilliantly around the court to progress.
Muguruza had brushed aside Williams to claim her second grand slam title in July but any hopes she had of repeating the feat were snuffed out by a resolute opponent, who simply refused to buckle in the tense Singapore http://www.footballcowboysproshop.com/Tyron-Smith-Jersey Indoor Stadium encounter.
The victory enabled Williams, who Dale Weise Womens Jersey won this event in 2008, to advance along with the pool winner, Karolina Pliskova, who won her first two matches but ended round-robin play with a 6-3, 6-1 defeat by Jelena Ostapenko earlier on ThursdayWilliams added: ��It��s not easy out here, you have to play every point well or you end up losing the game. I had some great coaching going into my match and I hope I can win some more.
Ostapenko ended her maiden WTA Finals campaign on a winning note with a surprisingly easy victory over a subdued Pliskova, the Latvian Dale Weise Womens Jersey saving her best until last after she was eliminated earlier in the week.
Pliskova, the world No3, won her opening two matches against Williams and Muguruza to book a semi-final berth but the Czech was outgunned by an inspired French Open champion in 66 minutes. Ostapenko had battled Dale Weise Womens Jersey hard in her opening matches to no avail, especially in a gruelling three-set loss to Williams, but she served brilliantly against Pliskova and found the corners with her booming forehand to end her season with a win.
Ostapenko said: ��Yes, I lost my earlier two matches but it��s my first time here and I am just happy to finish my season here, in the top eight, especially with a win at the end.��
Caroline http://www.stlouisbluesofficialonline.com/Adidas-Doug-Gilmour-Jersey Wozniacki has already advanced from the Red Group with one round of matches remaining, while Simona Halep, Caroline Garcia and Elina Svitolina can all still qualify alongside the Dane when play concludes in that pool on Friday
