I agree re Shelby Rodgers and it really is not a particularly disappointing or surprising scoreline, particularly at this stage for Lisa.
Interesting that Lisa is preferring to use her SR and play and test herself at a relatively high level than seek more matches and wins at lower levels.
There are no doubt arguments either way and different approaches will suit different players more. Cav has written about what she sees as the dangers of playing too much at lower levels.

For those who do not have the luxury of wild cards dished out, playing at a lower level to build up ranking points is essential. Enables them to get their ranking up to a stage where they can enter higher level tournaments by right and possibly avoid difficult draws (with a good enough ranking) and take it from there. Besides, certain $10Ks are notoriously tougher than early rounds of higher level events.
