Rybarikova's Grand Slam record is so disappointing. This was a very winnable match too. Still, at least she got her first AO MD win under her belt so hopefully she can get that long overdue win at Wimbledon!
You said exactly what I was about to say. The only word to describe Magda's GS record is execrable:
AO - 1r 5 times, 2r once
RG - 1r twice, 2r 4 times - only slam where she has passed the first round most of the time!
Wimbledon - 1r 6 times
USO - 3r twice , 2r once, 1r 3 times.
Nara has been in probably the best form of her career so beating the dodgiest seed in town is not a huge surprise, though it is very disappointing that Magda can beat Petkovic so well one day and lose to Nara the next...
Realistically you are right. But Magda did play well against Andrea and I allowed myself to believe that that could be the start of something. Silly me.
People hating on Nara obviously didn't see the match I thought the same, until I actually saw it. Only her celebration was tasteless against Peng, nothing else. So, yeah. People really will believe anything. Not relevant.

Magda had 3-1 up in every set, then only managed to take 1 more game (in the first). I did not see the match, but i did see against Petkovic, and when 3-1 up in every set against Nara, you feel should not lose in straight sets. Even if Nara had 4/4 BP converted... I smell something is not right here, or???
