LOL too good! smile.gif I fully intend to tweet that (and credit you) if she makes it!

The fit between 'JoKo' and 'loco' made me think there was at least a chance I hadn't used that one before. (the same could not be said for the Surprise surprise, sadly!)

Of course, it's quite appropriate to hope for this because apparently, you only go loco down in Acapulco if you 'stay too long'. smile.gif

From Kyle's point of view (and to completely exhaust the Acapulco puns), it's quite a pity Pablo Carreno 'Buster' didn't make the trip for qualies here ... smile

Let's hope she's one of the Four Tops when qualification is over.

(PS: how long have you been bursting at the seams to get that pun out? )

Q1: KONTA, Johanna (GBR) 8 153 beat SADIKOVIC, Amra (SUI) 237 6-2 6-0

 

Johanna's next opponent looks likely to be 33 year old Catalina Castano (COL) 192 (CH 35 in 2006) as she is a set and a break up at present.

Well done JoKo; very tidy W

Costano looks to be considerably tougher, as she's just found some good clay form, having made the final of the Cali $125K Challenger two weeks ago, beating Svitolina, Bratchikova & Karatantcheva along the way.
