The entry seeding list as of June 25th, 2018: Alix (990) and April (1460) - 2450 Summer (1160) and Sara (1020) - 2120 Kelly (1100) and Brit (750) - 1850 KWJ (780) and NB (860) - 1640 These points are based on the best 4 of the last 6 tournaments entered. The two teams remaining in Poland have at least another 240 points per person, or 480 points per team. Sara and Summer earned 160 points each from Poland, but that will probably be dropped from their best 4 of 6. Anyone want to calculate how many points these teams will have for next week’s Vienna seeding? If it’s best 4 of 6 tournaments, maybe staying at home was better if they’re not winning. However, teams need to be ranked in top X in the world (including maximum two per country) to play at World Tour Finals. That’s the reasoning I got for these points. Isn’t World Tour Finals the same weekend as Manhattan Beach this year? WTF offers the most total prize money, but missing isn’t quite so bad when you can play MBO instead and probably finish higher. Unfortunately yes... money isn’t bad at WTF either since there are only 12 teams per gender playing. The last placed team still gets to split $15,000. Last year’s winners at MBO pockets $22,000 as a team. Just that the team has to be top X or get one of the 4 wildcards from Hamburg. Meanwhile for MBO, AVP is counting the best 2 of 3 finishes to get to play in the invitational Hawaii Open.

Kerri/Nicole going three with Agatha/Duda and they had game point in the first game also. Nicole is playing as well as she has in years - other than maybe last year in Poland. Kerri has been shaky at times but they have a good chance.
Also raining heavily.

Tough break. Hard to waste a match that good from Nicole. I think Duda/Agatha probably win the tournament now. Laborer/Sude are tough though.
Duda is a monster offensively. Every time she gets served its almost like if she hits it in, its going down

Kerri generally didnt play that well. She sided out easily on good sets but she cant swing at anything off the net now and Brazil knew it. In each of the first two games there were runs where she gave up a couple on serve receive in a row just with poor passing.

But a 5th place is improvement from a 17th place last week.

Yeah...Tge Semis were definitely in their reach...Oh well...On to the next one...I know I’m a guy and all, but I can only imagine the sacrifices these women on tour for a month at a time make to play this game. Not just Kerri with 3 kids & Nicole with 2, but all these women that do have children waiting at home. Dedication @ 39 years old...Jake Gibb the same way on men’s side..

Gold medal match isn’t happening for Kelly and Brit. Maybe they’ll try for bronze...
They’re down 6-12 now in the second set, having lost the first set.
