Serve deserted her in 3rd set, Eraydin not being a complete mug meant that Laura still had to be focused and professional, real shame she doesn't appear to getting better week by week.

The details ..

R1: Laura Robson WR 209 lost to (WC) Basak Eraydin (TUR) WR 335 (CH 230 in May last year) 6-4 4-6 7-6(8)

Laura saved 3 MPs during the TB but not a 4th. 8 breaks of serve each during the match.

She's going nowhere. She's been back over a year now and just nothing except for a couple of good weeks in the USA.

I'm beginning to lose faith now.

Laura's certainly played plenty tournaments, 30 in the last year, which when you also consider Fed Cup and for her a 6 week close season is a lot.

Maybe her practice / training weeks ratio against match weeks ( hoping she'll find that spark in matches ? ) needs looked at.

Just a random personal angle, but she needs out from the entire, poisonous Eisenbud/Sharapova sphere of influence.

Still has several years, if she wants it, in the modern game to get things together, but needs a completely clean break from the expectations of her past, which, for the time being at least, are pretty self-evidently, very much past.

I feel for the kid, been dealt a bad hand, sometimes doesn't help herself, but also has been pretty dreadfully advised and managed.

Lots of people I thought could probably properly help, at one time or another, but not sure any of them would be interested now: Tauziat, Rodrigues, Carrill etc

Laura is looking for another new coach according to the Times, after the short period with Maria's old hitting partner came to nothing.

Em and Ankita had a set point at 5-2* deuce, but missed it.

4 more now at *5-3...
3 more...
2 more...

Win the first set 6-3.

 

EDIT - or not. Scoreboard flips, and its 5-4*

Well that got out of hand. Seven(!) set points go begging, and they lost the last 5 games of the set.

5-7 *0-0

No idea what happened there. Horrible

Win a deuce game, but then lose another one from 40-0* up - that's TEN set points missed in the match

*5-5

Another deuce game lost - those sudden death points have absolutely killed them today

5-6*

Another deuce point

Over and out 7-5 7-5

That was a fairly remarkable match, and not in a good way. How they didn't pick up at least a set there I've no idea. 4 of 21 in break points. I think they won 2 of around 15 deuce games - crazy.

Wow... yes, I hope she has the wine before she self-harms, seeing that Em is inclined to get down on herself... She will certainly have a few regrets after all those set points left out there confusedisbelief

Sudden death deuce is such a lottery - a good serve by an opponent, a reflex volley fractionally out etc etc and the whole game's gone.  They use it in both singles and dubs in Div 1 US college tennis and you so often see a run of close games go against the player(s) looking overall the most likely winners. cry
