I mean when she was two points away she looked really comfortable. She didn't do anything wrong really I thought in the rest of that game, but played a shocker at *5-4 and has just combusted. She's just missed a break point there and it's all just a bit slappy and messy now. Very frustrating.
So much potential, and throwing it all away - again. Another good chance to go deep (and possibly win the tournament) and effectively a wasted trip. Something needs to change, and quickly.
Jodie, take a seat and watch Beth no doubt giving it her all in R2, having seemingly come to terms with the circuit and now trying to maximise on her ability.

Think next year is massive for her. If she doesnt get this under control it could be too late. Surely other people at the LTA can see this as well?
Jodie was very comfortable at 6-2 5-3 30-0* but has had a bit if an implosion. Couple of doubles serving for it and she's broken to 15.
Bates is with her this week ...
5-5*
Your third sentence says it all....... he transmits nervousness and stress in every direction.....it's like having your dad watching, sucking his teeth in every time you make a mistake

Exactly my thinking CD. She'd have been better being out there by herself and having Beth come support her court side or something (if timings worked with Beth's own preparations).

I thought that at Wimbledon when he was watching Katie Boulter. It's like he had a cloud over his head and I felt I was encouraging her more than him! It's weird how he wields so much control. Someone must rate him????
