what a result for Kaja!
seemed to be too many UE by BHM and only created 1 break point all match which is obviously way too few.

Kaja takes out the in-form player. Makes up for the close call vs Badosa in RG. Haddad Maia should have skipped Eastbourne pure and simple.

 

[Tripolis]

To do all that in the lead-ups... just to flop R1 in the most important tournament of the grass swing. Peak WTA.

 

[Cliffton]

So much for the brazilian Petra...

 

[RoS]

Winning 12 matches on grass just to flop at the big one

Typical WTA

lmfao and people wanted to convince me that this flavor of the month was a Wimbledon dark horse 😭😭

Juvan saw Bencic in her corner...

 

[Libertango]

I don't think it's SUCH a shock.

Juvan has been on an upward trajectory, this was a tough draw. Happy for Kaja.

Still, so much for momentum. Bia must be gutted.

So much for the lead ups to Wimbledon for Haddad Maia. Good year for her to this point......just not today. Nice for Juvan.

 

[Halepian]

Yayyy , very impressive playing from Kaja. Juvan has a lot of talent. She can be top 30 if she keeps it up.

Haddad Maia overplayed in Eastbourne.
She is still the best performed player on grass this year, no matter what is going to happen until the end of Wimbledon!
Kaja is so good, when she is on! Fully deserved win!

 

[Dexter]

Nice to see Kaja not choking away a big match for once!

 

[JoyLuckScrub]

So much for the brazilian Petra...

Losing in 3 sets on grass when you’re touted to go deep in a Slam? Sounds very Petra-like to me

To do all that in the lead-ups... just to flop R1 in the most important tournament of the grass swing. Peak WTA.

At least she did not miss out on points.

she was...

until she wasn't.. the draw was not kind to her here at all. Perhaps a match she could have won, but one she definitely could have and obviously... did.

great win for Kaja. A breakout tournament is in her future as well... perhaps it is here.

A prototype wta player these days. Wins matches when no one cares about her, loses when just a fraction of spotlight is on her. Not just Hadad Maia but most of the WTA players fall under this category from Kontaveit to Jabeur to Raducanu to Sakkari to Samsonova.

 

[Varak]

My oh my, but wasn't Haddad Maia supposed to almost win Wimbledon? How sad... but not really. Solid match by Kaja, nice to see how she held the pressure in the 3rd after getting the break, and killed off the growling behemoth
