Yes she certainly was carrying some shoulder problem in Sunderland as well as generally not feeling well ( sounded as if she didn't want to be there ! ) and you are no doubt right, RBBOT, that that remained with her for a few weeks.

While as Steven says the points accumulated week to week were very consisten, it wasn't just that. I was actually also impressed that Tara was generally I believe beating those who she should beat and more and at least giving a match to higher ranked opponents.

Tara's turn for bet365 now. She is serving for the 1st set up 5-3 although out of the 8 games so far there have only been 3 holds.

steven · Tennis legend

Unfortunately, Tara lost the next 4 games and Lu now has 2 set points ... 1 ...deuce ... another set point ... 7-5 Lu

steven · Tennis legend

The 2nd set starts with 4 breaks ... 5-7 *2-2

steven · Tennis legend

Make that 5 consecutive breaks

steven · Tennis legend

Lu wins the last 4 games of the set (again) to take the match 7-5 6-2

indiana · Tennis legend

Oh dear, was expecting Tara to come through that cry

I'll maybe at this point not continue too much further with my odes to Tara's consistency

At least got 14 points which is back in that consistent 12 to 15 points range she was earning last Autumn but looks as if maybe a more consistent performance would have broken her out of that into the twenties.
