I get that Jodie has a high-risk game that can go off the boil, and that therefore it's frustrating when it happens for us to watch, I do think she gets way more intense flak from people on this board when she falls short, than other players do.

 She gets flak for her attitude at times. It has improved but IMO er reactions to situations are still too often poor and counterproductive, and understandably commented on.

Her actual tennis has really progressed, but I think folk just think she could do even better and really want her to.

 True

Overall she has hugely progressed in the last year or so but I think many folk just think she could be doing even better and really want her to.

 Agree with this. She's very frustrating. When she's on she's really on. However, when she loses it it clearly impedes her game and her level drops.

She's still relatively young and inexperienced but she's not a teenager either and whilst some players seem able to take their frustrations, get angry and turn this to their advantage this often seems to be the opposite with Jodie. 

It's almost like she could use some sports anger management course as right now I think her attitude, at times, is holding back her game.

She's made big strides this year and has the game to compete at the level of this competition and for me this is a big wasted opportunity. There's not a single player left in the draw who Jodie is not capable of beating. A shame as not every tournament will be so weak.

Korpatsch served for it at *5-3, Jodie did well to turn it around but agree it was a poor game at *6-5.

The German did finish the tiebreak well but Jodie really should have got that over the line. Missed opportunity for sure.

This is a really open tournament with only the  4th and 5th seeds left and they meet in the quarter finals. The qualifier Makarova  in the quarter finals is not the Makarova who won the  Wimbledon doubles  in 2017  and was a Grand Slam singles semi finalist. If Jodie had won she would have played Snigur who she had beaten at Rouen recently. 

QF: Jodie Burrage & Jil Teichman (SUI) CR 465 (251+214) defeated Alycia Parks & Elena-Gabriela Ruse (USA/ROU) CR 74 (34+40) by 6-4 6-3

SF: Jodie Burrage & Jil Teichman (SUI) CR 465 (251+214) vs Dalila Jakupovic & Irina Khromacheva (SLO/***) CR 168 (103+65)

Goodness, it's like our Ema with one 'm' and our Samm with two 'm's - names are such a minefield

 I just copy them off websites where they have to put them in - but even that isn't easy - Jodie, Emilie etc.
