Hsieh, unsurprisingly for one of her pedigree, really steps up, tightening up every area compared to set 1, and breezing through the second set as a consequence, 6-4 1-6
Regroup Tara!

Good start, but had nothing to counter when Hsieh moved up a few gears.

Pity Tara couldn't get closer after that great first set cry

I think Tara by being tactical in terms of the tournaments she plays can get closer to top 100, the fact that the likes of Hev and Nicole Gibbs are on the periphery of the top 100 makes me worry about progressing through that band of very talented, athletic and mobile cohort of players who have dipped out because of transient inconsistency in predominantly main tour WTA events.

The 96, 97, 98 and 99 ers also appear to be very deep cohorts pushing through from behind, where's 94 and 95 not so prolific, increasingly they will also be pushing up into that cohort.
