wouldn't be surprised if her slump is a lot about mentality.

Anyway, first TB win against a Top 150 player since Octobre 2012 (Putintseva in Poitiers).

(I know that it's 'just' Bundesliga, but we need to clutch at straws for good news about Alexandra at the moment.)

Definitely.

Certainly one of the matches where it's worthwhile to take a look at the stats.

Alexandra didn't hit a single DF. I don't even know when this has been the case for the last time (if this ever happened to begin with).
Anyway, it's hard not to link this fact to her playing on grass and knowing that even a weaker serve might be tricky to return on a grass court. She also hit 83% 1st serves, so obviously she was not going for broke in this regard and still won nearly 2/3 points when she was able to put in a 1st serve (also 2/3 on 2nd serves).

Does that mean that the majority of her double faults are not due to physical problems, but rather because she is going for too much in a tough situation, in a sense putting up with all these DFs to not give her opponent an easy ball to slap for a winner? If this really should be the case, then I don't think that this is the right way to go for her, especially not in times when literally serveless Players are able to break into the Top 10.

In short, she only got broken two times. On the other hand, she herself, as many players who lack experience on a grass court struggled to have an impact on the return. She had 3 BPs (all in the 1st set), but couldn't break once.

Still, I might really fance her chances to win a match at Wimbledon more than in any other slam at the moment. Cetkovska is a pretty good crass court player. Well, it will all come down to the draw.

Another loss . And a bad one . :facepalm:


At least she can play Doubles quallies at Wimbledon if she wants to . :oh:



EDIT :




Hot mess of the day, well in fact she could hardly hit a winner, she has no weight of shot and Khumkum basically came all over her...



What was even more hilarious is she did not even grunt

Luk's luk was in today as Cadantu was so weak.

Luksika's weight of shot is huge, and she can do double and one handed (no euphamism intended)

This is the only slam where she's won a main draw match--she took out Tamira Paszek last year, so anything is possible.

Still I don't see her defending her second round points.

She shares a coach with Soler Espinosa right now. He is Andreu Guilera. They are working together since Katowice I guess. Silvia was having a bad season too, but she has improved her results recently. Let's hope Alexandra can do the same.

Thanks for the info. WTA listed her as being coachless for quite a while now which made me conclude that she considered her latest coaching situation as provisional.


Anyway, the link to her 'official website' on her WTA profile now leads me to a newsblog in gibberish. Is there a chance that she gets money by including fake links like this one? I'm wondering because the website is indeed retrievable as alexandra-cadantu.com.
