Week 29 - ITF($50K) - Sacramento, CA, USA - Hard

Priesty · Challenger level

Tara wins 6-4 in the 3rd.

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

A close match, but from 4-4 in the third Tara won the last two games easily, possibly the benefit of having won lots more matches than Laura recently. The serving stats consistently poor throughout from both players.

The serve is the big thing holding Laura back at the moment, as at the moment she is going to have to play pretty well to win without getting many free points on serve and giving away double faults. At no point since her return from injury has she looked at all confident serving.

A good chance for Tara to cash in and win some more matches here now. The serving stats maybe a bit more surprising from Tara as she was serving really well on the grass.

I would say as predicted, Laura unable to maintain her form through 3 sets and having limited penetration on 1st serve, but fighting hard. Tara not as effective on a hard court, but hopefully effective enough to really push up the rankings.

It is hard to play against your friends..... I guess

I see that Tara has nothing to defend until October and still clearing out 1's from her best 16 ( 2 more to go after this week plus other low counters ). She has only 31 gross (14+9+8) total to defend this year.

Must have a decent chance of taking out her CH 183, which dates back to 2013, in the fairly near future.Hope she gets that serve back in its recent much better working order asap, that would be a great help.

Guessing that's more to do with Freya than Laura.

Tara's back on.

DF · Tennis legend

Tara's first set gone down 2-6

indiana · Tennis legend

2-6 *1-3 and again an alarming number of DFs, 9 in 6 service games.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Her opponent has served 9, and won every point behind her second serve bar one when she finds the box.

This is a grim performance from Tara after missing 7 break points in the 4th game

2-6 1-4* now, but it is Ahn with the 9DF (6 in one game alone giving Tara a total of 7 break points) to Tara's 5

My livescore one has only 5 DFs for Tara. And 9 for Ahn.
