I would skip work today just to watch it
She indeed was not feeling well, here the macth report
BOGOTA, Colombia - Alexandra Panova was taken to the limit twice by a determined opponent but the Russian continued her run at the Claro Open Colsanitas, overcoming Conny Perrin 7-6(7), 7-6(7) for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Panova was the author of one the first round's most dramatic upsets, emerging victorious in a rain-delayed three set comeback against the No.1 seed Elina Svitolina.
In the second round against Swiss qualifier Perrin, Panova was taken to two very tight sets. She built up a 5-2 lead in both sets before the Swiss came back twice to force a tiebreak in each one. Perrin held set points in both sets, but each time Panova was able to find a way shut her out.
"My opponent played really well, she has a really heavy forehand," Panova said about 20-year-old Perrin. "I got really unlucky when I was trying to close it out with 5-2, but she was playing really well, nothing I could do. Just fight."
Bogota's high altitude and sharp change in climate - today being the first hot and sunny day after a week of cold and rainy weather - was almost too much for the Russian, who had to receive treatment during the second set due to dizziness.
"I felt fatigue, I felt like fainting. I couldn't look up," Panova said afterwards. "It was cold yesterday, today it's hot. It's still a high altitude and even if I'm in great shape and very fit, it's very difficult."

I'm on a trip but found out that Sasha's R2 doubles match was on tv today and I've freaking monopolized this place's tv to watch it they lost in two longs sets (12-10 the 2nd set tb) but the battle was epic Sasha played a fantastic match
USO qualies update: Sasha narrowly lost in the second round against Kristina Kucova, who although was the #1 seed, was also a former pigeon Final score: 67(8) 57.
Now 1-4 against her.
Sasha qualified last year, so this year was a disappointment. Still will manage to stay in the Top 200.
