Really like Rodionova's tactical switch - either crunching or drop-shotting her returns, she's broken twice. Mandy not so impressive from the forecourt.
Glad to return and see a very good win for Mandy. My thanks too for the link, watched some of the match on you tube. Mandy is a wonderful defensive player, but would really like to see her try and do something with her serve in due course... It's reliable but better players will eat it up. Still, a fantastic 14 points so far for Mandy (5 + 9), and with a lucky loser next, she has a very good chance to add another 18 - which would then surpass her last 25K tournament runner up points.
