Leave tennis for a week, and chances are you’ll come back to discover that nothing is quite the same. The last time I wrote a post here, on Thursday, September 11, the sport was trying to recover from its U.S. Open hangover in New York by perusing that weekend’s Davis Cup draws in Europe. This morning, both tours are on a third continent, Asia, and one of them, the WTA, is already charging hard down the 2014 homestretch. In the short time I was away, Li Na has stopped playing tennis, Nicole Vaidisova has started again, and Ana Ivanovic has won a tournament and retired from another. Time to get back on the tennis train with a preview of what else might happen in the week ahead.
