Week 33 - ITF ($25K) - Montreux, Switzerland - Clay


R1: (6) Tara Moore (GBR) WR 303 v (q) Johana Markova (CZE) (born '99) WR 1233 (CH JWR 39 in Jan 17)

 

Conny P withdrew at the start of July, and no sign of the two of them in the doubles draw either.

OK, Tara's on.
I have no idea what to expect, or how to really think about Tara's game and prospects at the moment.
Maybe today's the day a missing puzzle piece is found.
3-4*

Tara (who has lost her last 10 matches) actually made a good start today, going *3-1 up in the 1st set, but Markova then won the next 4 games and eventually the set 6-4

There's not much in it though - 30-29 to Markova on points won in that opening set.

Tara was doing well last year and in the early part of this year. I thought she would push on into the top 100 but now it looks like she could be struggling to stay in the top 500. I wonder if she has other interests now that make the tennis circuit seem less appealing.

I thought much as you; that she overcome her variability in form, and that progress would be more upwards, if perhaps, slowly, and with occasional slips.

I also have wondered idly about whether tennis is where she sees her future, and whether the snub over Wimbledon may have exarcerbated any doubts she may have been having. Pure speculation on my part, of course.

When she plays well, she's so eminently watchable, her game is, 'box-office'.

I hope we don't lose her. Be that through poor form, or other interests.

There is little more to do but see if the next time begins another up-tick. A story being repreated with a high number of our women across the rankings spectrum.
