Didn't I once mention how injury-prone she was/is?  I also mentioned that I believed it would impact her character as she ages, as she is still only a teenager. She's having physical problems that I would associate with players who have been in the grind of the Tour for a much longer period of years. It reminds me of Ana Konjuh unfortunately.

Tennis Channel’s linear audience grew 33 percent in 2019, one of the few channels, broadcast or cable, to show any growth at all. A tiny audience, certainly, but notable. Maybe the return of WTA play brought back lapsed viewers?

From what I've read, there's been a stampede of withdrawals from the tournament.  I know it's something of an exhibition now but still, not good.  I think I preferred it when it was a $125K WTA tournament, at least then, the WTA site provided free streaming and kept it cute. 

This year, The Hawaiian Open pretty much seems like an indoor Challenger tournament.  The one match I managed to see did bring a smile to my face though, to see MAGA-ite Christian Harrison gets his butt beat by Brandon Shinakawa, who literally just left college and whose only previous experience was in a few summertime Challenger tournaments.
