That game was very winnable. Thats a bad sign, not getting that break. 0-30 2nd serve Caro made an unforced error on the point.
I'm not getting positive vibes about tonight.
You saw this more clearly than I did. I thought she had pulled her game together this summer. But you were right. She's not playing at a level where any draw is soft enough. The way her forehand broke down, I dont think she could win a 50k now.
I had no idea her forehand caved in so easily. Why isnt every player banging balls at her forehand? That should be everyone's #1 strategy against Caroline
the problem today for Caro is that Giorgi can transform defense to offense quite fast if she can hit on a "comfortable" run...that's what happened on the BP, she hit a mild FH on the right place, but Camila is fast and was all over it and then it was all on Giorgi's racket
I think the problem was that 3-3 game. Needed that break, But Caro's playing well.
I think like IW, if she holds this level, she'll have a good far east swing.
