No! Lost all three deuce points in that set. Sore one, should have been theirs.

I've just come across Sofia Shapatava's blog. Shows how tough the circuit can be.

Did really well to regroup in the second but that first set should have been theirs. Very surprised to see Paar/Wachaczyk lose their quarter final in the top half. Would have had a real shot at the title.

But still, a week of green shoots and hopefully can build from finally getting a win. Hopefully they get a run of events together, perhaps even try the Lyon WTA event?

Incidentally, JonH, I mislead you yesterday. Sofia is not in a relationship with her coach, Tim Schulz - she's married to him !
(and she saw your post and found it highly amusing)

 Oh no! Seriously!? Does Sofia follow this board??! 

If so, hello, and sorry for causing any offence or trouble!!

 

Is marriage not a relationship then

I really do feel for Em! Trains so hard and wants it so much, genuinely does deserve a good year. Good things come to those who wait though needs a good few tournaments at least and will get the Wimbledon WC she deserves.
