RE: Week 22 - WTA Grand Slam ($13M) Paris, France Clay


Well done to Jo.

For Tara it always was likely to be a big ask even if she had had some competitive clay prep. Maybe if she had and with a good draw the 40 points for a R1 win might have been attainable.

Given her hard court form though this year, I can see the arguement for the schedule she kept to and almost just looking at Roland Garros as an experience and possible bonus.

JoKo closes out the set 6-4 after the short rain delay

 

In a tight set, Jo saved all three break points faced and converted one of two. Given the conditions, serve has been surprisingly dominant so far.

All level JoKo 6-4 3-6

Easy to identify the turning points so far:

First set JoKo holds from 1-2 15-40 and immediately breaks
Second set Voskoboeva holds from 0-2 0-40 and immediately breaks

JoKo's tweet:

"Gutted is an accurate description of how I'm feeling right now. #learnfrommymistskes #workharder"

 

and Heather says:

 

"Oh la la Bonjour Pariiii xx"

 

so I guess she's arrived safely!

JoKo had 0-40 when Voskoboeva was serving at 0-2 and the next time I looked it was 2-2 :(

That's a game changing momentum swing right there. 3 break points for a double break, and lose the next 5 points.

It is on the RG site (but fairly well hidden) - Friday 24th. No indication of time though.  I can't get a link to work but you go to "draws and schedule" and click on "women's singles".
