Week 26 - ITF ($100K + H) - Southsea, Great Britain Grass
Permalink  

I haven't seen any of Laura's grass court matches this year, but did watch her matches from Japan on YouTube, and it does seem she has found a lot more consistency by reigning in her naturally ultra-aggressive style. However, it may be that she needs to up the aggression a bit more against the higher level of player she has come up against recently, and it is difficult to find the right balance. Yet again today, Laura's winning % on first serve is quite low, and I think she needs to go for it more and not worry too much about the odd double fault.

That said, I still hope she can turn it around tomorrow!

Looks like the matches are going to be played indoors today - with no spectator access

 Canoe Lake (Southsea) have no indoor courts of their own, so they must be borrowing from elsewhere in Portsmouth.

What a shame.

 So much for grass practice . But they have no choice really . Forecast better later in the week . Would be wonderful if Laura could survive this matech and get out on the grass for the next match. Here's hoping .

Laura 0/5 BPs taken in the final set vs 1/2 against her seems to tell the final tale. First serves in the third dropped on the second set too. cry

Alexandrova's first grass match of the year, and only 7th ever. Chances, chances...

Have a feeling in my bones that Ms. Boulter will overcome Petko next.
