Watched the whole match... such an hearbreaking loss for Lanlana, she was so close to the MD
Ok she had a Mto ( Groin, i think ) mid second set, but still played ok against pedestrian Katie game... unfortunately, she missed 3 MP playing a bit too safe and the american took her chance to hit 2 cross court winner to save her life ( not often )
but at 6-5 *15-30 for Lanlana, she had a routine forehand to hit to get another 2 MP and she made an inexplicable wild error
think she was not the same after... lost belief
and Katie showed some resilience to snatch the win
Better player lost today, just lacking experience i think
Concerning Volynets, she has a good attitude... but hard to support her feather light game
