But it must feel good to her to be back.

(34,461 posts)help from Agassi. Nadal second. Thiem third, or maybe Goffin.
I would like to see Halep or Kuznetsova win but Halep has been injured and Kuzi is inconsistent. Would love to see a big surge by Coco Vandeweghe and Genie Bouchard. As always, fingers crossed for the Bryans in men's doubles and Bethanie M-S in women's doubles.

I've never liked Rafa, he drives me crazy to watch his compulsive antics and sweating. Kyrios is such a poor sport it doesn't make up for his talent. Never admired Sharapova either - seems like an aloof snob.
Thiem could be on top soon - he's amazing.
