Karo played really well until her final 2 service games, but her groundstroke is spectacular (if you think about how poorly she could move), and many times the ball falls IN the service box, backhand or forehand

Please, do some practice on your movement, and GL in the grass season

Did you say 'move'? I haven't noticed any Karo's movements and I've been watching her very closely today

Seriously, some of her shots were phenomenal. But she looks like she doesn't really want to win unless it's unavoidable because her opponent plays even worse than her.

I'd call that a respectable loss. Now time to prepare for Wimbledon.

she lost in ITF, you guys not satisfied, she lost in Q, you guys not satisfied, she lost in MD, you guys still not satisfied, what on earth are you looking for if you've been following her for a while?

tennis must be boring for some of you

Karo is alternate #4, so she's main draw only?

^ I'm assuming

Kris Plis won her opening round, 76(2) 60. Now faces either Webley-Smith or Gibson.

If I count this correctly, Karolina will read Top100 on Monday for the first time

^ Not yet, no ranking updates until June 11, and Karo is still 115 pts. from Top 100.

Karo has a tough opener in Nottingham, plays #8 Anne Keothavong first round. Anne defeated her earlier this year in Nassau.

Kris won her second match in Nottingham, defeating Emily Webley-Smith, 62 75. Now faces Anna Fitzpatrick for a spot in the main draw.

Kris defeated Anne, 3 & 4, for a spot in the main draw. Plays #4 Eleni Daniilidou opening round.

well done Kris! R1MD is doable too: Eleni is erratic when the moon is in the 2nd phase of occulence...

First round.

Karo lost to Anne, 4 & 2.
Kris survived set points to defeat Eleni, 76(9) 64. Up next, WC Tara Moore. Tara has a 1:0 lead h2h.
