Obviously this time it was not to be, and we spoke about how this match was a tough pick for 1R for both, but from our theories to see it actually unfold there is a bit of a stretch.
Again, FOR ME.

I think Muchova would be top 10 if she didn't get injured every other tournament.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 12:35 amMuchova is simply the better player..that is a bad draw for Sakkari, that is all .ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 6:30 pm I am a bit because this is how she maintains her ranking: making it deep in all tournaments.

Not surprised Brncic lost..away too long, no match practice ..I fear for Jabeur too...wish they had played Strasbourg or Rabat...

Re: '23 RG Women's Draw & Discussion
Indeed. And now, it is two more weeks with no competitive matches. A couple of matches last week would have at least helped with conditioning.

Re: '23 RG Women's Draw & Discussion
I know Martincova is not one of the players who shreds opponents on a consistent basis but she was up 5-1 on Aljona (who won the first set) and lost the second set and match 7-5.
What?
What?

Re: '23 RG Women's Draw & Discussion
At the very least, 4R. Her game is completely above everybody else's here. I say Leylah could be a proper foe because she is good at using the other player's pace and shots, but other than that, what you say.

The kit is not as plain as it looks in the first pics. Nice.

She is not wearing NIKE anymore. Do we know the clothing brand?

Re: '23 RG Women's Draw & Discussion
Jabeur went into last year's with a ton of match wins and lost R1 from the pressure of expectation. Let's see what happens this time. As long as she's confident enough for a couple early wins, she can build up.

Re: '23 RG Women's Draw & Discussion
She looked pretty good. She got a little tentative on her serve up 5-1 in the first set, but managed to close it out 6-4 and coasted the rest of the way.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 12:55 amJabeur went into last year's with a ton of match wins and lost R1 from the pressure of expectation.
