Week 32 - ITF ($25K) - Landisville, USA Hard
Permalink  

I remember last year here Laura's body language was good and her commitment to running balls down quite eye opening. Apart from trying to set records for throwing up and catching the ball on serve it seemed such an encouraging week and followed soon thereafter by seemingly reinforcing that at US Open qualies.

I honestly would have thought that she'd have moved so much further forward a year later.

At this point I really am starting to wonder if Laura will ever get back around the 100 mark even.

She has done quite well to dig back in to this set after the intial stages wherein she was down, and quite tetchy - almost 'don't you know who I am' at times in discussion with the umpire.
Ump is having to work quite hard.
But, Laura has at least recovered the break without playing at all well, at any point.
TB 6-6

From 2-0 to 2-4
Being undone by, of all things, moon balls.

Just looking at the rankings 182 v 372, and comparing with, say Katy Dunne 280 and Harriet Dart 302 (both of whom look much better than Laura right now).

At present, I really can't see Laura climbing the rankings - more likely to slip out of the top 250 I think

Well, Laura looked like losing last year too, against Tara, before that awful episode she had.
She might need some more traditional fortune here, but, she has been good recently about digging out results - she's won 4 matches from a set down in 2017. That's as many as any other Brit has managed (Tied with 7 others)
All of those have been in the last 3 months, too.
So, still all to play for.

And, she breaks to start set 2.

For someone who has been out since January, Pegula is hitting g the ball pretty clean, but Laura is fairly terrible.

If she cut out 1-2 errors a game she'd clean up. She was very good from 3-4* to *6-4 in the breaker then borderline useless.

Frustrating, and I really thought by now she'd be well more advanced than she is. She's been back playing and training fully for a long time now.

I think Laura has been playing too much doubles - she keeps hitting the ball in the tramlines
