Week 29 - ITF ($15K) - Don Benito (Badajoz), Spain Carpet

Michael D · All-time great

Well, it would be good if Emily is not stressing herself. Yes, I'm still wondering quite how she got the scholarship, but never mind.

As for today, Emily started well, going 4-2 up, but then lost 4 games in a row and the set 4-6 to her unranked, 19 yr old opponent.

Emily loses to a qualifier. She served 10 DFs including on crucial points, and was outplayed 63-74 points. She picks up only 2 pts in a draw that was wide open for her cry

And loses 4-6 4-6

There's no real way to cut and dice that except to say that's really poor..... especially after her loss to Vedder last wekk....

Has played the last 9 weeks consecutively, and 10 out of the last 11 weeks: it's too much.
Rest.

Strongbow · All-time great

Even top players have a run of bad form - maybe time to recharge the batteries. Emily was certainly not at her best. confuse

She will have her own schedule and targets - second guessing ain't easy.
