Week 10 - ITF ($25K) - Yokohoma, Japan - Hard
Permalink  

R32: Laura ROBSON (GBR) [2] 208 v. Paula KANIA (POL) 272 (CH 128, Jun. 2016)
> H2H 2-0* (Senior 0-0)
> 2008* Slovak Indoor Tournament - G2 - Carpet, Indoor - R32 - Robson by 7-6(3) 6-2
> 2007* Prokom Cup, Poland - G4 - Clay - LR(Q), ML[3] - SF - Robson by 7-5 6-3
* Junior Results

Kania is the second highest ranked non-seed, and Laura would be scheduled to meet the highest ranked non-seed in R16 (Ya-Hsuan Lee).
Courts are apparently sloooow.

Laura's first singles match in over a month, let's deduce how the training and new coach has been going then, 1-0*

Much better, now !

Up a set and a double break

7-6(3) *4-1

In the first set Laura took 2/4 BPs against 2/3. Points were 46-41 so about level going into the TB. Many more points played on Kania's serve than Laura's ( 51-36 ) so Laura certainly did appear to be putting on more pressure.

That evidently got better and better as it proceeded

Laura overall served 6 aces and 5 DFs, so that was quite encouraging as well.

That is certainly promising, 10 out of the last 12 games, and good momentum through that second set. Well done !

 Even though their previous meetings were 9 & 10 years ago and Laura was 13/14 at the time, the form guide was remarkably accurate with Laura winning a tight first set then taking control in the second.

R16: Laura ROBSON (GBR) [2] 208 v. Ya-Hsuan LEE (KOR) 268 (CH 186, Apr. 2016)
Ms. Boulter beat Lee 4 & 4 last week in Clare, but Tara lost the HKG $25K final to her in three sets, in week 1.
