That first encounter was epic... :lol:
Watson can get a lot of balls back, so if Sorana becomes impatient she'll get in trouble.
Anyway, should be an interesting match. Hopefully they'll put it on center court...
Lmao, that first encounter was where she had that epic brainfart from 5-0 up in the 3rd.
Sorana still should prevail. She is usually starting rather well into the year. Of course she is still able to hit herself out of the contest on an off day in under an hour.
GL Sori!
Not sure what to expect. Difficult draw. Could be better. Could be worse :shrug:
I expect her to win at least R1 though. I think Hev is very overrated on TF :shrug:
Of course, if Sori has a bad day then Hev will push her way to an easy victory
In my FITD, I have Sori making the final #deluded
Hope for the EDIT, because this opening match couldn't be any worse The only other outside hope is that Mona comes in tight, knowing she is the defending champ. Otherwise, Sorana can kiss those QF points goodbye.
Another one of those classic Sorana matches with a first set in which she is just rushing the ball like a maniac on every occassion, but in contrast to her earlier career, she is now able to turn it around and fight back and this is a pretty good sign.
She also had a good amount of these last season.
However, you can't afford such slow starts like this against any decent player out there and I really wonder if her coaches didn't have notice these patterns as well already?
R2 against Davis who is actually a bad match up, but she just isn't that good, even for pusher standards.
