The tournaments here are so strong, every match seems to last for 3 hours. Mine today was a lovely 3 and a half, in 90 degrees and no breeze. I shouldnt really complain as I am sure it is freezing back there! It was the most enjoyable and rewarding match I have played since my marathon match at the US Open, thoroughly enjoyed it and jumped over a few hurdles, which have been holding me back for a long time. My new motto. If your backhand hits the fence, don't worry, just keep slappingSeems to work well.
She's on first! 10am in Hawaii! Wonder if she's got LOST, chased by black smoke, lived in a shelter, punched some numbers into a computer repeatedly or seen any falling planes!
Brilliant rd1 win for Sarah, that was a super result. As she says these US tournaments are so strong. She's playing two or three more before returning to Europe.
Shame about the rd2 result but I think that dire scheduling from the organisers probably played a big part in that, Sarah must have gone on court feeling knackered. Also her opponent is a former top 100 player and will still have some of that class.
Hopefully Sarah can get another win in Palm Springs this coming week
Seems to work well.
