Yes I hope she wins Essen instead, be great to come to Wimbledon on a winning streak. As well as if she goes far in Eastbourne she could possibly miss Wimbledon, and her game could be very effective on grass if she plays well as she has a flat serve, powerful fh and bh and a nice slice which should work well on grass. Just maybe the weakness is that she isn't able to get down low enough for balls and her movement is not that great.
Of course I would love to see her win Essen, as Kev said she would likely go far in Eastbourne when she'll be playing her raised level.
Even her movement has improved enormously, she got really well played drop shots as well as powerful groundstrokes grabbing them deeply out of the corner.
She'll be playing on court 6 at 2.30 pm. Not so good, have to look for a good place to view.
