Week 22 - ITF W100 - Surbiton, GB Grass

PaulM · Tennis legend

A little disappointing none of the younger girls stuck about to take the doubles alternate slot.

Sonay fell apart a bit after missing a break point at 3-2*

3-6 0-0*

On serve 3-2 in the second; I think Sonay still has a shout.

Brengle's serve is weak (her feet don't leave the ground); Sonay could definitely attack it a little more I think.

I wondered what her serve was like, as i noticed Brengle has been around 80% first serves in for most of the match, any decent serve on grass will make it hard for opponent to break.

Having submitted I then noticed Sonay has broken to go *4-3 up.

I think the percentage is so high because it's basically a starter shot. Very low risk.

Brengle is the one who filed a lawsuit against the WTA etc for injury to her shoulder, leaving her unable to serve, because of some rare medical condition re needles. She certainly can't serve - she just rolls it in with a very weird action, because her shoulder basically doesn't work

Frustrating that not all the streams seem to be on today, and one of the courts doesn't even have live scoring!

L16: (1) Madison Brengle (USA) WR 57 (CH 35 in 2015) beat (WC) Sonay Kartal WR 284 (=CH) by 6-3 6-4

L16: Kateryna Baindl (UKR) WR 143 (CH 62 in 2018) vs (WC) Jodie Burrage WR 260 (CH 204 in March this year)

Baindl completed a 3rd set TB win over Sabine Lisicki today. I assume that they will try to play this L16 match today. Not as yet showing on the ITF site schedule.

Jodie's match is shown as following Ryan v Jack on Court 1 on the LTA PDF OOP.

Although on Google it's showing as 'cancelled'...

Will be interesting to see how Sonay does against a Top 100 player for the first time.

Not well. She lost 3-6 4-6

With apologies, the draw has now updated to remove the bye and put in Fran Davis and Jess Matthews.

Watched most of the second set on t.v which is the first time I've really seen sonay play. Thought she seemed very happy just to put the ball back and seemed a little negative. Not sure if that's her usual game?

Hardly that badly scoreline-wise vs the WR 57 .

Though it does appear that it was maybe more of an opportunity than that ranking suggests and Sonay might have got more our of that match.

Sorry Indiana smile . I don't really understand this. Are you saying that she played well? A top 100 player can be anyone fron 1 to 100 and if she is given a wildcard

for Wimbledon then she would meet someone from that category and on grass. From what we have seen so far she needs more practice on the grass and against

top ranked players before we can make our minds up.
