Well, overall I see this tournament as a step forward. Not a ginormous step but a good step nevertheless. It's early with Sanchez, but maybe his influence is starting to take effect.
I would expect her to be disappointed at missing her chances & going missing for a set and a half, & doubtless if we can see it, then Sanchez (if he is worth his salt) can see it too. I'm sure Sabine by appointing him knew work was required hence bringing him in.
So whilst disappointed at her loss in the final, I do feel there are positives. Work in progress - but progress. Let's build upon it.
Sanchez is good at on-court coaching, that's where he's best atm. Maybe he can raise her game in the long-term, but for now the main goal has to be to let Sabine play as many matches as possible, which she has done far too little over the past years.
I hope Fed Cup won't knock her off course again if she performs poorly there.
That`s my biggest fear. Hope Sabine can win 1 Fed Cup match
The problem is there is a lot of pressure and the tie is on clay

Important win. Also Germany won the tie. This should give her confidence
