Week 32 - (ITF W100) - Landisville, USA Hard
Permalink  

Emma vs Parrizas Diaz was originally scheduled (yesterday) to be on the main court with the YouTube pause / rewind, comms, camera angles etc. and Kawa vs Frech was originally on Court 7, but for some strange reason, they have swapped the courts, which is a baffling. One player is getting 6m BBC1 views vs Tomljanovic, 'guest of honour' in an overseas W500, and subsequent WCs next week, and generally a lot of interest, and is playing the only seed of the 4, who is having a great season and pushing the top 100, and has never been on centre court. I wouldn't mind so much if she was originally scheduled to be on Court 7 - they can put her where they want, but to actually switch the courts for no rest / schedule reason is very disappointing. I guess we can at least watch the fixed camera ITF stream, but it's not the same at all.

Unless there's a big Polish community in Landisville then it doesn't make any sense. Even this unofficial YT match uplifter - www.youtube.com/c/TennisMatchesOpen/videos

Kawa vs Kung - 71 views
Frech vs Tauson - 130 views
Emma vs Bonaventure 1.8k views

To make matters worse, Minnen has just beaten McNally on centre, so the Polish match will be starting soon, whereas the match before Emma has just gone into a decider, so if Emma did win, then either Pole will get additional recovery time before their match later today.

Parrizas coming much more into it. 3-0 30-0* to 3-4*.

Has she retired?

Did anyone see what happened there. I popped out to the kitchen and when I came back she's retired!

Emma seemed to be playing well right up to the retirement, but her opponent had certainly upped her game after going 3-0 down. She was making Emma cover a lot of ground.

Well, i just saw her double up as though exhausted after fighting to break but failing, then she lost her serve to love. Think trainer came on and I think I heard her say or trainer say she cant go on.

Best case scenario is that she was put off by the prospect of back to back matches in the heat, and had Chicago on her mind, but yes, lots of retirements in the early part of her career.

If she ends up not playing Chicago then I'll be more concerned, but hopefully that's the case - there were 3 retirements on Weds, and Clara Tauson retired after the first set yesterday, and retirements are not unusual at that event.

It has kind of put a dampener on a very encouraging week though. Fingers crossed she still plays next week.

Well that's annoying. She was looking great in the early games I watched. No signs of any issue.

 

If she had an eye on a very strong WTA 125 then she's surrounded by the wrong people and needs a talking too. This is a 100k and she had a great chance to win - so there should be no reason to withdraw from here for any reason other than for genuine issues. May well have been heat related after a string of long points, and it's gotten to several girls this week, but if it was a case of going a break down in the first and getting told - sack this it's too hot to fight back from the sides you've got a tournament one level up from this starting in 3 days I'd be pretty angry. I suspect it is more than even the shortish period she was on court, doing it in 90degrees just made her start to feel quite unwell. Which is understandable, if frustrating.
