Maria is different because she's such a great shotmaker and can hit winners even if she's only giving it 60%. But even by her own exho standards Caro played pretty poorly here and at times Maria really tried to keep her in the match I feel. But she has three more weeks to sort herself out before the real tennis starts, so we'll see.  |
I know, it's weird because 3 weeks isn't a long time to the normal person but it's amazing the improvements a player can make in 3 weeks. I'm not sure there's any other sport where the athletes can straighten out so many things/improve so much in such short spaces of times but then the calendar requires it.
