QF: (3) Tara Moore & Conny Perrin (SUI) CR 310 (161+149) beat Amra Sadikovic & Anna Zaja (SUI/GER) CR 342 (148+194) 6-2 6-4

The little matter of Taco's 180 points from being last year's WTA International Rio Open runners up come off on Monday so a very good week to start pushing back up would be very welcome.

Tara drops the first set 3-6, then calls an MTO.

Safely through, 3-6, 6-3, 6-0.

QF to be against one of 2 qualifiers, Minnen or Schoofs.

YAY; was fearing the worst with that MTO. Go, Tara :)

Good stuff

With relatively so little to defend before the grass season - 24 points from 3 tournaments out of her current 368 points ( now going to become at least 375 ) if Tara keeps fit and well she should rise up the rankings over the next few months.

It would still be great to take out her quite recent CH 152 here and now ( well on Monday week anyway ) and enter the top 150 ( although with Tara we should maybe more wish for the top 149 ).

3 consecutive DFs in Tara's opening service game

Now trailing by a double break, 0-3*

PaulM · Tennis legend

She's honking

1-4*

But then she started terribly yesterday as well

PaulM · Tennis legend

Atrocious pretty much from the first point to the last, losing 6-1 6-1.

Hugely disappointing given the opportunity she had here. Only real fight was in the final game.

Wouldn't be surprised if she pulls out of doubles to make Budapest WTA sign-in at 4.

indiana · Tennis legend

Hmm, not quite top 150 form then !

A performance where you almost wish something were wrong, in order to explain it and give it context.
QF: Tara MOORE (GBR) [2] 157 lost to (Q) Bibiane SCHOOFS (NED) 432 1-6 1-6

jb288 · Satellite level

:( she didn't hold serve once, winning 19% of points on her 2nd serve and only 13/45 service points in total - so maybe something is wrong there. Hopefully not...

Ah well, on to the next!

PaulM · Tennis legend

I did her a disservice, stuck around for the doubles, and have taken the first set 6-2.
