Just want to inform everyone that Caroline will take on Laura Robson in her first round match at the French Open tomorrow. Obviously this looks like a pretty tough match for Caro, but at the same time, this is a good opportunity for her to finally build some positive momentum given her woeful clay court season lately. I really hope that she`ll do well in tomorrow`s match.
Anyway here are a couple of pics of Caroline practicing at Roland Garros. Nice to see Caro with Aggie and Petra Kvitova. Caro at another practice session with Rory watching. __________________

Caroline got her run at the French Open started earlier today and she defeated Laura Robson 6-3, 6-2.
Good win for Caro. I`m very pleased that she got back to playing good steady tennis again in today`s match. It`s great to see Caro finally getting a win, which is a good start for her in Roland Garros. __________________

Well Caroline`s run at the French Open sadly came to an end earlier today as she was defeated by Bojana Jovanovski 6-7(2), 3-6.
Another disappointing performance from Caro. The only thing about it is that she`ll finally get away from clay. Hopefully she can find some better luck on grass. __________________

That's too bad she lost, but at least Wimbledon is coming up.

Saw some of her match today. Frustrating loss. Have you seen her first round opponent for Wimbledon this year play? I haven't.

No i haven`t.
Caroline`s section of the draw at Wimbledon looks favorable early on, but could get much tougher should she meet up with Sloane Stephens in the third round. I really hope that Caroline will do well at Wimbledon. She showed some improvement this past week at Eastbourne and if she find a way to elevate her play some more, then i think that she has a chance of making a nice run. Also here`s a pic of the outfit she`s going to wear at Wimbledon. The outfit isn`t bad looking. I like that it looks like it`ll be nice and tight, which would perfectly showcase Caro`s nice curves. __________________

Caroline begin her quest at Wimbledon by routing Estrella Cabeza Candela 6-0, 6-2.
Good win for Caro. She delivered a pretty good performance in yesterday`s match. This is a good start for Caroline. BTW she looked good in her new outfit, although i wish that it was a little more tight fitting and the skirt shorter. __________________

I apologize for the lack of updates lately. I`ve been busy with mod duties around along with running the campaign for The Fosters.
Caroline has been on a nice run at Cincinnati this week and yesterday she defeated Petra Kvitova 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. Good win for Caro. She did a good job of elevating her play after the first set. Next up for Caro in the quarterfinals later today will be Vika. Obviously this will be a very tough match for Caro. However she has been playing well lately and knows Vika`s game very well. I really hope that she will do well in today`s match. __________________

You`re welcome.
Last night`s Caroline`s run in Cincinnati came to an end as she was defeated by Vika 3-6, 6-7(5). Tough loss for Caro. She got off to a slow start, losing the first set and falling behind 0-2 at the start of the second set, but did a good job of fighting back and playing some of her best tennis in a while. Unfortunately Caro came up short in the crucial points. So that`s the end of Caroline`s run in Cincinnati. I`m very pleased that she played well in her best run in a while, which is nice progress for her. Next up for Caroline will be the New Haven Open next week. She will be looking for her fifth title at New Haven. I`ll post the draw as soon as it becomes available. __________________

As promised earlier, here is the New Haven Open draw. Judging from what i see, Caroline has a favorable section early on. If she can show the good form we saw from her in Cincinnati, then i think that she should get by in her first two matches. If she does that, then she`ll likely face Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals, which will be a tough test for her. I really hope that Caro will do well in New Haven this week. We all know how much of a home away from home it has become for her in the last few years and if she can show the good revived form we saw in Cincinnati, then i like her chances of winning the title.
Caroline will begin her Drive for Five tonight as she will take on Shuai Peng. This looks like a favorable matchup for her, especially since she routed Peng in Cincinnati last week. I really hope that Caroline will do well in tonight`s match. BTW if y`all are wondering, there`s a good chance that Rory will be at tonight`s match or at least another match if Caroline goes on a run. Lastly here`s a pic of Caroline at her press conference. __________________

Last night, Caroline`s quest for a fifth title in New Haven was dashed as she was defeated by Simona Halep 2-6, 5-7. What a disappointing performance from Caro. She struggled to hold serve in the match, especially in the first set. However she fought back in the second set, but some untimely unforced errors proved to be costly at the end.
So that`s the end of Caroline`s run in New Haven. Next up for her will be the US Open. In fact here's Caroline`s quarter of the draw. I think that it looks favorable for Caro. If she can find some good form, then i think that she has a good chance of making a nice run. I really hope that Caroline will do well at the US Open. She has been playing better lately and if she can take it up another a notch or two in her game, then i think that she has a good chance of making a deep run in New York. __________________
