Points to defend during the clay season: 320. She's in danger of dropping out of top 40 if she doesn't start gaining points again.

WTA Nürnberg confirmed.

[CillyUltra]

And apparently she plans to play no grass tourney like last year. Great preparation again for Wimbledon.

She is somehow convinced that she's not good on grass and therefore there is no point in preparing for it. Julia-logic.

Looks like the prize money has been multiplied by a factor of 10.

[Aravanecaravan]

I don't get it. With that serve of hers, she really ought to be a much bigger threat on grass. That match against Radwanska at the OG last year should have told her something. Anyway, I really hope she can get in gear soon and find her mojo on clay again.

Indeed. But she seems to see it differently.

Playing some clay MM before Wimbledon instead of a grass tournament is just stupid, no player should do that

[KatjaS]

Last year she even played clay MMs between Wimbledon and the Olympics.

[Aravanecaravan]

Nothing will ever trump Wozniacki hosting an indoor hardcourt event in between RG and Wimbledon though. That wins a Darwin Award, if you ask me.

[KatjaS]

R1 against Putintseva. Already a tough test, we know how "well" Julia deals with distractions...

Her ranking is really starting to hurt her now.

[Ollie_R]

Indeed, I'm surprised Julia doesn't like playing on grass, her game suits it quite well imo.

Yulia is a great fighter on court, I think Julia could struggle with her....I hope I'm wrong.
