I agree. Except in her last match - her BH was awful as well and leaking UEs. I want that BH working today and no UEs. No UEs on her FH either. Keep it deep and expect mainly cross court from her FH unless she gets a short ball - but she can do a few nice angles.

And if she's in a winning position - controlled aggression. Don't need anything fancy or radically out of her comfort zone that she hasn't done a thousand times before. But not ultra passive hitting short in the middle of the court hoping for a UE.

Can't remember the last regular match of her's that we weren't able to see.... I think it was R1 at New Haven last year.

A-Rod won 2nd set tie break taking that match into a 3rd. I might have watched Caroline's match on the good old, trusted Protoss Player

.. but another hour with + then another atp match and we'd be talking past 2AM CET .. *sighs*

Now that she is not number one and likely soon not in the top five the amount of coverage she receives will no doubt be reduced.

Here in Canada if we are lucky we get to watch the finals, and sometimes the semis, of the slams/mandatories/premier five's.

Besides, all Caroline needs to do is to start winning again and we will be inundated with her matches.

I don't think it will have too much effect. For the European tournaments usually all matches on CC are televised and Caro will be put on the big courts even if she slides down the ranking further since she has lots of fans and media buzz around her.

Come on Novak - want to see him break again for 4-1 in 2nd set and shouldn't be long now.
